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.

Last Wednesday, Wheeler families and friends gathered at Wheeler Farm for our Back to School Bash! 💜💛 There was plenty to enjoy, from the food and pool to the games and mobile photo booth, but the best part was having so many members of our community together to celebrate the start of a new school year. 💕Thanks to everyone who was able to join us! Here’s a look back at a fun evening at the farm. 🌳🌅

We are pleased to announce that Wheeler students Augie B. ’27, Arjun D. ’27, Sky L. ’27, Adarsh P. ’27, Zahra T. ’27, Nathan W. ’27, Yolanda Y. ’27, and Cynthia Z. ’27 have been named semifinalists in the 72nd annual National Merit Scholarship Program!
Over 1.2 million (then) juniors across the United States entered the 2027 scholarship program by taking the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. The nationwide pool of semifinalists, representing less than one percent of U.S. high school seniors, includes the highest-scoring entrants in each state.
To become a finalist, each semifinalist must now submit a detailed scholarship application that includes information about their academic record, participation in school and community activities, demonstrated leadership abilities, employment, and honors and awards received. The 2027 National Merit Scholarship winners will be announced beginning in the spring.
Good luck to all of our Wheeler students who continue in the selection process, and congratulations again on being named semifinalists!

We are thrilled for Wheeler alumna and composer Sara Barone ’13, who won her first Emmy Award this weekend! Sara was honored alongside colleague Sean Callery for their episode score from the Netflix limited series “The Beast in Me.” 📽️
As Sara told us in our recent story on her professional journey, “My time at Wheeler played an important role in shaping me as a young musician and composer.” We’re incredibly proud that the artistic foundation she developed here, in part, helped lead her on the path to a rewarding career and Emmy accolades.
🎉 Congratulations, @sarabaronemusic ! ✨
