Read about WheelerIn the City
The hub of our dynamic N-12 community, Wheeler's campus at the top of College Hill in Providence, offers student-focused learning spaces designed to encourage discovery, collaboration, play, and achievement.
In the CityOn the Farm
Our 120-acre farm in nearby Seekonk, MA provides students with state-of-the-art athletic facilities. It's a pastoral counterpoint to our urban campus—and is a living, hands-on laboratory for a range of unique programs.
On the FarmSee Our Stories
Our student clubs and affinity groups play an important role in helping us create a community of belonging at Wheeler. Often, that work happens in partnership with others around school and throughout our local communities.
Last week, for example, the Upper School’s Best Buddies chapter hosted Stephen Astone and Emily Sanita from @bestbuddiesmari for a presentation on disability etiquette.
“We feel it is very important to see the person first, regardless of their background and interactions with the world. Using the proper language and not assuming go a long way. Being patient and mindful allows for the person to be seen as just a person. That is all anyone wants: to be seen and valued for who they are,” says Wheeler Best Buddies President Hannah D. ’27.
“This presentation was so important to us because we want everyone at Wheeler to have these skills so that when they go out into the broader world, they treat everyone how they want to be treated.
“It was especially impactful to hear how more people with IDDs [Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities] are gaining opportunities, and equity is growing. Everyone just wants to belong, and Best Buddies is a space where everyone can receive that.”
