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.

Faculty and staff aren’t the only ones getting Wheeler ready for the start of school! Lion & Cow have been busy preparing our campuses for our students, from lending a paw 🐾 in the café and planning lessons with the 6th-grade team, to dusting off the new Athletics awards display and joining the pack for Robotics preseason 🤖!
Now, they’re eagerly waiting for everyone to return, with so many exciting events ahead — from Orientation Day and the first day of classes, to Opening Assembly and Color Sorting (Go Gold! Go Purple!), and, of course, the Back to School Bash! 💜🎉💛
Like Lion and Cow, we can’t wait to see everyone back on campus! 🦁🐮

Over the course of this school year, we’ll (re)introduce you to the members of Wheeler’s Board of Trustees.
In many organizations, the board’s role may be a bit of a mystery – as are the people who serve on it. But at Wheeler, the trustees are the same people you already see and know, although it might be from morning arrival or reunion rather than a board report. They are Wheeler parents, grandparents, and alumni, and they each bring different perspectives, experiences, and talents to the board.
In this social media series, we’ll talk to a few of our trustees in each post to learn about their work on the board, and why it – and Wheeler – matters.
“Wheeler is one of my life’s happy places! I’ve loved reacquainting myself with things that were at Wheeler during my time there (Mr. Harris being just one of them!). And it’s inspiring seeing all the cool new things students do – and have access to – today. (Radio station? Robotics? The Nest? A swimming pool? All amazing.) I’m also a super fan of the Hamilton School which is such a life-changing place for the lucky students and families who are part of that community. When Hamilton was founded so many years ago it was truly ahead of its time. Serving on the board lets me tap back into the Wheeler magic.
“I’ve sent my two kids to public, charter, and independent schools in California and New Jersey. So I’ve gotten a diverse taste of schools as a parent. Career-wise I’ve worked in design/marketing/communications and in operations, helping creative organizations function more efficiently. Schools are kind of like creative businesses. You want them to be financially sustainable and efficient but you sort of have to do that quietly in the background. You have to be mindful of and nurture their special culture, while making the business side of things tick.
“The world needs more creative, interesting, caring humans with high EQs and great leadership qualities. In other words, more Wheeler graduates! Growing up at Wheeler, I know how special a place it is. I want to do what I can to preserve that for future generations.”
“I’ve spent my entire career studying and building access and belonging in educational institut

We asked some of our faculty and staff what they’re most excited about for the year ahead — and their answers say a lot about what makes Wheeler special.💜💛
We can’t wait to see our students back on campus next week! 🎊

As mentioned earlier, Wheeler’s faculty and staff are back on our Providence and Seekonk campuses this week as we prepare for the new school year! Along with division and department meetings over the last few days, we also had a sweet 😋 time cooling off with ice cream 🍦 from @likenoudder on East Campus.
Here are a few fun moments from our Welcome Back Event – you’ll see some familiar faces and some new ones, too! 💜💛
