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.

This summer, Wheeler welcomed 22 middle school students from The Grace School to our campuses as part of a new partnership focused on learning, leadership, cultural affirmation, and community.
“The opportunity to create an enriching summer experience where students could explore their identities, build community, and take an active role in their learning made for a natural partnership between Wheeler and The Grace School,” says Director of Equity, Community, and Belonging Princess Bomba P’16, P’18.
“The Grace School Summer at Wheeler was designed with students’ voices at the table, not simply for them,” says Gerina Auguste, director of this summer’s inaugural Grace School at Wheeler Program. “From the moment they arrived, students were encouraged to share their voices, build connections, and participate in activities centered around outdoor exploration and community.” You can read the full story on our website by following the link in our bio! ✨

As you may remember from a previous post, the 18 Wheelers a cappella group performed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art last spring, surrounded not only by world-renowned artwork, but also by Wheeler alumni, parents, grandparents, and friends.
Now, you can relive this memorable experience through the lens of our talented student filmmakers 📽️. This video features the performance and reflections from the 18 Wheelers and was produced by Communications and Performing Arts Teacher Jesse Yip ’08 and his Video Broadcasting II students Lizzie C. ’28, Adit M. ’28, and Taka U. ’28. It also marked Wheeler Broadcasting`s first field trip to film and document their classmates` experiences.
"It was a fantastic collaboration between the two classes!" says Director of Vocal Music Emily Serotta P’38, P’41. "The Met invited us back next year, and we can`t wait!"
We`re excited to build on collaborations like this and look forward to sharing more student-produced stories throughout the new school year. ✨
