Students watch as teacher fires sugar rocket into the air at the Wheeler Farm campus.

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.

The Wheeler School is an N-12, independent school founded in 1889 with two campuses, city and rural, in Providence, RI, and Seekonk, MA

We’re ending the day at Wheeler all the way back at the start…and in this case it was a very early start for our seniors.

“Senior Sunrise was an awesome experience for the whole Class of ‘27, and we all took the opportunity to reflect,” says Raahil G. ’27, who is co-president of Wheeler’s senior class alongside Izzy B. ’27.

On the first late Upper School start of each school year, the senior class gathers at a local beach to welcome the day – and the beginning of their final year at Wheeler – together.

“It was amazing to see everyone come out this morning, and we had a gorgeous sunrise!” Izzy says.

“The whole grade took advantage of the photo opportunity, which was brilliant,” Raahil adds. “Izzy and I are really looking forward to planning tons of events this year to foster unity and nostalgia amongst the class like Senior Sunrise, and hopefully the sunset counterpart by the end of the year!”

“It feels surreal to finally be here as seniors, but it’s the perfect lead-in to our senior walkout [at Opening Assembly] tomorrow, where we’ll all be together as a class again,” Izzy says. “Raahil and I have a bunch of events planned throughout the year, and we are so excited to make it a memorable one!”
