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
This first day of Wheeler’s Homecoming Weekend has been filled with Purple and Gold spirit – most notably at this afternoon’s Pep Rally! Students, faculty, and staff cheered on our fall Warriors Athletics teams, and played a series of not-so-serious games, in Madden Gym on our Providence campus, before we headed over to the farm for Friday Night Lights’ Pink Out, as Varsity Girls Soccer took the pitch against Beaver Country Day, and Varsity Boys Soccer matched up against Marianapolis Prep.
We’ll be back at the farm on Saturday for the second day of Homecoming, featuring the Middle School Soccer Tournament and the Fun Run in the morning, followed by Fall Fest activities, Community Pickleball, and Varsity Girls Field Hockey in the afternoon. The weekend comes to a close “Under the Sea” tomorrow evening at the Upper School’s Homecoming Dance, and while students are dancing the night away, their parents will be enjoying time together at the Upper School Parent and Guardian Social. 💜💛

It is great to have Wheeler alumni from across the years back on campus today for Homecoming Weekend! 💜💛
After the morning’s career roundtables, the day continued with a lunch with Head of School Mark J. Anderson P’27, a campus tour, a pop-up performance by the @18Wheelers, a closer look at the life and art of Mary C. Wheeler, and an Alumni of Color Meet Up hosted by our Office of Equity, Community & Belonging.
It was a chance for our alumni to reconnect with familiar faces, revisit favorite places, and spend time together here at Wheeler. 💜

This morning, Wheeler alumni returned to school to share their professional perspectives with our juniors and seniors. The Alumni Career Roundtables, which paired alums with members of the Class of 2027 and 2028, helped kick off Homecoming Weekend. 💜💛
From marketing, public relations, art, law, and real estate to politics, entertainment and music, higher education and nonprofit, investment management, entrepreneurship, medicine, and journalism, students learned about a variety of career paths and heard firsthand what life after Wheeler can look like.
We are grateful to our alumni for returning to our Providence campus, sharing a bit of their journeys, and helping our juniors and seniors imagine the possibilities ahead. 🎓✨

Who’s ready for Friday Night Lights? 🎊Lower and Middle School students got creative with purple-and-gold shakers, posters, and signs to cheer on our @WheelerWarriors.
Come out to the Farm this afternoon to cheer on our teams! Girls Varsity Soccer plays at 4:30pm, followed by Boys Varsity Soccer at 6:30pm. ⚽
A big thank-you to the Wheeler Family Association for helping get students ready for Homecoming Weekend!
Go, Warriors! 💜⚡💛⚡ #WheelerSpirit #WheelerHomecoming #GoWarriors #WheelerWarriors
