Hathaway brown is a dynamic and compassionate community dedicated to excellence in the education of girls. For us, educational excellence includes, but reaches well beyond, superb preparation for college. The true mission of the school, as reflected in our motto, "NON scholae SED vitae discimus," is preparation for life. We strive to foster in the minds of our students an abiding passion for learning and in their hearts a constant devotion to strong character and public service. Our theme for the 22-23 school year was "building the future." there is a great need for women of vision and courage who are empowered for leadership in a multicultural and globalized society. We seek to answer that need by inspiring our students to rise to these challenges and achieve their utmost potential in everything they do. Forming the lives of the girls in our care is our primary calling, hathaway brown embraces broader aspirations as well: to help shape a future of unbounded possibility for women; to stand among the country's leading schools in educational innovation; and to be such a force for the common good beyond our campus that we are respected as a civic treasure.
