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
The Isenberg Auditorium of the Gilder Center for the Arts on our Providence campus is now available to rent for events, and as one example, we are delighted to welcome Polish concert guitarist @kasiasmolarek_ to Wheeler as part of her United States tour.
The show will take place on June 3 at 7:30pm in Isenberg and promises to be “an evening of fire, passion, and extraordinary musicianship as Kasia fuses flamenco’s dramatic flair with vibrant Latin rhythms.”
🎟️ Concert tickets can be purchased via link in bio.

Good luck to our Chemistry students, and all of our Upper Schoolers, as they tackle final exams next week. You can do this – including making the mixture for our Purple and Gold mascots’ medicine! 🦁 🧪 🐮

We’ll have more on their return to Wheeler in an upcoming post, but this is the moment when members of the Purple & Gold Circle, who are alumnae who graduated from Wheeler 50+ years ago, literally crossed paths with some of our pre-k students at The Nest. #WheelerForever 💛 💜

The celebration also recognized Senior Family Gift co-chairs Amanda and Jeremy Isenberg P’24, P’26, P’29; Trina and Dave Kleinberg P’26; and Jane Linden P’24, P’26 for their meaningful impact.
Outgoing Wheeler Family Association co-presidents Stacy Hurley P’32 and Mariama Jallow P’31, P’35 were also honored for their incredible leadership over the past two years and for helping implement a new structure for the association.
“It was wonderful to celebrate our volunteers this morning and all the time, energy, creativity, and commitment they bring to their various leadership roles — from serving on the Family Association Leadership Committee, to participating in event committees, and being great ambassadors as Clothing Sale Captains and Day of Giving Spirit Captains,” says Family Engagement Coordinator Deana Tineo P’27, P’28, P’32. “Their work contributes to the life of our school and enhances community building.
