Our student population is diverse and globally inclined -- in the summer of 2024, 15 different countries and 15 states within the u.s. Were represented. Our 40 talented faculty members and 33 teaching fellows provided an outstanding experience for our students. Our goal, through all aspects of our comprehensive program, is to provide a valuable, life-changing experience for each student who joins us. For many students, nmh summer provides their first experience of a rigorous independent boarding school academic program and challenges them to a new level.
