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
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! 🎊

Preparations for the new school year are already underway at Wheeler 🚌💫! Various groups of students are back on our Providence and Seekonk campuses for preseason fall sports practices, orientation experiences, and more.
Recently, Wheeler’s Office of Equity, Community, and Belonging welcomed incoming 9th-grade students of color for an orientation. Students connected through team activities, explored both campuses, met their peer supporters, and heard advice from older Wheeler students.
We’ll have more orientation coverage next Monday as we welcome all of our new and returning students back to campus. We can’t wait to see everyone💜💛!
