Read about Wheeler
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
It’s hard to believe that just one week ago, the Wheeler community came together for Opening Assembly with the Class of 2027! 💜💛
🎊From the procession to the Spirit Color Sorting ceremony, we asked a few of our seniors to share how the morning felt as they officially began their final year at Wheeler. Check it out! We can’t wait to celebrate the Class of 2027 throughout the year. 🎓 #classof2027

Upper School students had the chance to explore the many clubs available to them at Wheeler yesterday and get a feel for what each one is all about! Club leaders were on hand to answer questions, share more about their groups, and, in some cases, even give demonstrations. From Fitness and Nutrition to Game Design, Entomology, Mock Trial, French Language and Culture, Photography, Ping Pong, Radio, Economics, and Science Olympiad, there’s something for all kinds of interests.💡🔍
And there’s plenty more beyond the Upper School! Middle School students have a variety of clubs to choose from, while Lower and Middle School students can also take part in Aerie’s enrichment programming. Parents and guardians, keep an eye out for registration details in the coming weeks! 📨

Last Wednesday, Wheeler families and friends gathered at Wheeler Farm for our Back to School Bash! 💜💛 There was plenty to enjoy, from the food and pool to the games and mobile photo booth, but the best part was having so many members of our community together to celebrate the start of a new school year. 💕Thanks to everyone who was able to join us! Here’s a look back at a fun evening at the farm. 🌳🌅

We are pleased to announce that Wheeler students Augie B. ’27, Arjun D. ’27, Sky L. ’27, Adarsh P. ’27, Zahra T. ’27, Nathan W. ’27, Yolanda Y. ’27, and Cynthia Z. ’27 have been named semifinalists in the 72nd annual National Merit Scholarship Program!
Over 1.2 million (then) juniors across the United States entered the 2027 scholarship program by taking the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. The nationwide pool of semifinalists, representing less than one percent of U.S. high school seniors, includes the highest-scoring entrants in each state.
To become a finalist, each semifinalist must now submit a detailed scholarship application that includes information about their academic record, participation in school and community activities, demonstrated leadership abilities, employment, and honors and awards received. The 2027 National Merit Scholarship winners will be announced beginning in the spring.
Good luck to all of our Wheeler students who continue in the selection process, and congratulations again on being named semifinalists!
