The Williston Northampton School vs. Northfield Mount Hermon

Located on 125 acres in Western Massachusetts, Williston has a history dating back to 1841. Williston`s 420 students come from 30 countries and 25 U.S. states.

All Williston students take part in Williston`s Comprehensive Program for Academic and Social Success, known as COMPASS, which unifies our CORE Life and Leadership Program; our Williston Scholars program; our College Counselling program; and our Center for Academic Success (Academic Suport).

At the core of the Williston experience is our balance of academic excellence and support. Students choose from over 150 courses, and they utilize our Writing Center, our Math Center, as well as more formalized academic support.

Additionally, Williston has a long history of athletic excellence, with over 35 percent of our graduating seniors going on to play at the college level in the last five years.

Northfield Mount Hermon (NMH) is an independent boarding and day school serving 630 students in grades 9 through 12, plus a postgraduate year. We offer an advanced educational experience in a student-centered, inclusive community that prioritizes academic excellence.

As students learn, they develop the skills and the resolve necessary to live with humanity and purpose.

At NMH, we educate our students' heads, hearts, and hands, preparing them to be citizens and leaders who learn with passion, lead with intention, and act with humanity.

We are located on a serene, wooded 1,353-acre campus in Massachusetts' Connecticut River Valley.
