Hathaway Brown School is dedicated to excellence in the education of girls. For us, educational excellence includes, and reaches well beyond, preparation for college. Our true mission, as reflected in our motto “NON SCHOLAE SED VITAE DISCIMUS,” is preparation for life. We seek to foster in the minds of our students an abiding passion for learning, and in their hearts a constant devotion to good character and public service. In the 21st century there is great need for women of vision and courage who are prepared to be leaders in a multicultural world. We seek to answer that need by inspiring our students to achieve their utmost potential and rise boldly to the challenges of their times.
