AT HAMMOND, WE ARE THINKING AHEAD — ON THE STAGE AND IN THE STUDIO.

AT HAMMOND, EVEN OUR YOUNGEST STUDENTS SHINE—on the studio floor and the stage. From the earliest grades, art and music are part of everyday life. And while they may not know it yet, every paintbrush stroke and class production is preparing them for the big stage ahead.

AT HAMMOND, WE'RE THINKING AHEAD — ON THE FIELD.

WE TEACH STUDENTS TO COMPETE WELL - handle adversity, work together, and push towards greatness. We know athletics is about more than winning trophies, although we've earned enough to give us bragging rights.

In the lower school, it all starts with play. Recess and PE help build coordination, confidence, and teamwork. We’re laying the groundwork for sportsmanship and a love of the game.

In middle school, the game changes. Sixth grade offers the first real taste of practice, jerseys, and game day excitement!

A great lower school has the ability to nurture confident independence while cultivating a strong community.
It’s the people who make Hammond feel like home, and we love it that way.
