Four years to become who you are.

At The Hudson School’s Upper School campus on Park Avenue, Grades 9–12 pursue a rigorous college preparatory program in small classes where every student is known—and challenged—by name.

College Preparation

A curriculum built for competitive colleges.

The Upper School offers a comprehensive college preparatory program spanning English, Mathematics, Sciences, History & Social Science, World Languages, Classics, Visual and Performing Arts, and Computer Science. Small class sizes ensure personalized attention, and our experienced college counselors begin working with students individually in 9th grade to develop a plan that matches academic interests, personal goals, and financial considerations.
