Hutchison School
Founded in 1902, Hutchison is an all-girls private, independent school in Memphis, Tenn.
Mission
Hutchison is dedicated to academic excellence and to the parallel development of mind, body, and spirit as it educates young women for success in college and for lives of integrity and responsible citizenship.
Additional Culture Details
Girls thrive at Hutchison because we understand how girls learn and what helps them succeed. In addition to academic, athletic, and character development—the mind, body, and spirit referenced in our mission statement—we encourage each girl to find her voice and take risks without fear of failure. Dedicated teachers leverage the proven advantages of an all-girl school. We know girls learn differently than boys, and we employ teaching strategies proven to work best for the ways girls think, learn, and interact.
Hutchison has a nurturing environment where girls feel secure with their connections to teachers and peers. These connections help them feel confident when asking for help, academic or otherwise, and in supporting and learning from one another. Our advisory groups, classroom activities, and retreats are ways that Hutchison provides the optimal settings for meaningful connections. Student surveys indicate that 98% of Hutchison girls feel they “belong” and that they have at least one adult at school with whom they can share their concerns.
