The Hudson School in Hoboken, Hudson County, United States | School

Welcome to The Hudson School, Hoboken, United States. The Hudson School, Hoboken provides intellectually inquisitive students in grades 5-12 with a rigorous and relevant college-preparatory education that inspires independent thinking and intellectual risk-taking with the goal of developing compassionate, responsible, principled citizens who are socially conscious and committed to lifelong learning and service. The School fosters an eclectic and supportive environment that challenges students and faculty to develop their passions and talents through a stimulating, balanced and creative interdisciplinary curriculum.
In the fall of 1978, Suellen Newman, with the financial assistance of the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation, founded The Hudson School as an alternative to the available educational institutions in the local area. Now in its twenty-fourth year, the School has steadfastly held to its mission of encouraging "courage, compassion and commitment" in its students, who are admitted because they demonstrate that they love to learn and don't mind a bit of hard work.
The Hudson School has a formidable record of attracting a diverse, gifted student body and helping each student reach his or her potential. Its graduates have moved on to great success at many of the finest high Schools and universities in the country. The School assumes that all of its students will be attending college. In fact, each graduating class of the high School has had an almost perfect college acceptance rate and the students have received an astonishing volume of financial aid awards.
By keeping tuition and fees relatively low, and budgeting a significant amount of money for scholarship aid, the School has been able to attract students across the entire socio-economic spectrum. Unlike many private Schools, The Hudson School does not simply have a few, token, minority students. Almost two-thirds of the students have at least one parent that is not of Western European descent. A recent poll revealed that the students go home to households speaking nineteen different languages.
