Wheeler School Competitors

We are a nursery through 12, independent school founded in 1889 with two campuses, city and rural, in Providence, RI, and Seekonk, MA. Our mission is “To learn our powers and be answerable for their use.” Our founder, Mary Colman Wheeler, was an artist and educator who wanted to create an educational environment grounded in students’ curiosity, academic excellence, and hands-on experience, where students would learn their powers and become answerable for their use. Miss Wheeler’s vibrant vision of what education should look and feel like remains at the core of our approach today. We give each student the opportunity to learn by doing and collaborating, to explore new interests and grow in their passions, to build their self-awareness and confidence through leadership and service, and to develop the critical thinking and skills they need to be thoughtful, engaged, and contributing citizens of the world.
