For over 150 years, Oldfields School has focused on what matters most...Each Girl's Success. Oldfields nurtures the "whole" girl by providing a balanced approach to high academic standards in a caring and supportive environment with high standards and low pressure. Our tailored college preparatory curriculum helps each girl develop her intellectual capabilities while our artistic offerings expand her creative and imaginative talents. Whether on the basketball court, soccer field, or in the riding ring, we offer many opportunities to improve our students' physical fitness and skills.
Our residential program promotes our students' social growth as well. By the time each girl walks down Graduation Hill to receive her diploma, she has discovered a direction for and passion for her future. All of this development occurs within a small but highly diverse community rooted in our motto of Courage, Humility, and Largeness of Heart, as well as our guiding principles of respect, integrity, responsibility, commitment, and health and safety. These cornerstones support each girl's moral and ethical growth and ultimately provide a compass that guides her toward success here and in the future.
Oldfields School is committed to the intellectual and moral development of young women. In a culture of kindness and mutual respect, we encourage each student to make the most of her academic and personal potential. We seek to guide each student to grow in character, confidence, and knowledge by encouraging her to embrace the values of personal honesty, intellectual curiosity, and social responsibility.
Our motto - Fortezza, Umilitade, e Largo Core- Courage, Humility, and Largeness of Heart, are the core values and beliefs that define our school culture.
