Read about Wheeler
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 City
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 Farm
Meanwhile in the Angell and Whitaker (Hamilton) buildings… 🤩 A new classroom, a new teacher, and a whole lot to look forward to! Students and families stopped by today to get a first look at the spaces where they’ll learn, play, create, and grow throughout the year. From exploring classrooms to getting familiar with their new teachers, there was plenty of excitement in the air during orientation (and lots of smiles too)!
We’re ready for you, Lower School! We’ll see you all at arrival tomorrow morning. 💜🐮🦁💛

It’s Orientation Day at Wheeler, and our Middle School co(tri?)-presidents, Mira K. ’31, Ezra G. ’31, and David K. ’31 are here to help their peers navigate the new school year.
They’re not alone. Every MS activity today was about working together, from students filling out unique Bingo cards with the help of their classmates, to teams strategically lowering floating rulers in a science lab, to our faculty providing guidance on everything from lunch to lockers to laptops.
Even with all of this morning’s sessions, chances are there will still be a few things for Middle School students to figure out when classes get underway tomorrow. But that’s OK. There will be plenty of MS teachers, friends, and presidents to show them the way.

Throughout this school year, we’ll look ahead to each week at Wheeler with the help of our community members. 🗓️ We’re kicking things off with Head of School Mark Anderson P’27.
Thanks for the assist, Mr. Anderson! We can’t wait to see everyone at Wheeler tomorrow. 💜 💛

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! 🦁🐮
