Hope Ragsdale '27 Learn about our Middle School "At Harpeth Hall, a lot of the learning happens beyond classes. I learn from my peers and teachers every day.

Sophie Steele '27 Learn about our Innovative Teaching Spaces Student/Teacher Ratio Attend College or University Student Clubs & Activities Years Educating Young Women Harpeth Hall educates young women to think beyond familiar boundaries. Through our three distinctive capstone pathways - Global Scholars, Changemakers, and IDEAtors -  students explore real-world challenges, apply critical thinking, and create solutions that matter. By building knowledge and developing skills, capstone pathways cultivate innovation, empathy, and engagement to prepare students for an interconnected and rapidly changing world. Service is a critical component of the Harpeth Hall mission. Public Purpose at Harpeth Hall prepares students in and out of the classroom to think critically about local and global issues and inequities. The program is designed to help students in 5th through 12th grades acquire the skills and knowledge required to meaningfully and ethically engage with large-scale problems and actively effect change. The Harpeth Hall Center for Civic Engagement empowers young women to become involved and informed citizens, and to appreciate – through action and reflection – what is required for civil societies to thrive. Central to this work is a commitment to support the Harpeth Hall mission of developing responsible leaders who make meaningful contributions to their communities and the world. Middle school and high school are marked with big transitions and new experiences. This time in a student’s life also holds great potential for personal growth and self-actualization. Harpeth Hall’s life balance curriculum provides an opportunity for students to focus on wellness by exploring the mind-body connection, purpose, movement, nutrition, confidence, relationships, and emotional intelligence. The words “lead confidently” in our mission guide us to create intentional opportunities for development far beyond being captain of a team, the star role in a play, or a club officer. At Harpeth Hall, each student develops the confidence to lead in her own way. She is aware of the value of every individual and embraces her responsibility to shape the community for the better. We would love to tell you more about our school and all we have to offer.
