A new school year has arrived at Wheeler! We’re starting things off at The Nest, where our youngest students arrived with big smiles (and maybe a bit of nervousness, too). Thankfully, the raindrops didn’t arrive until after the last drop off…but of course, at The Nest, weather is part of the learning experience!
“What a great way to start the year at a nature-based preschool than a rainy day,” shared Director of The Nest at Wheeler Michelle Dolan. “It’s a chance to get outside, maybe jump into some puddles, make memories, and experience some joy.”
Here’s to a joyful start to the school year for everyone at Wheeler, from The Nest through 12th grade!

Today was all about getting to know one another, listening, engaging, inquiring, and understanding what it will mean to learn together and support one another in Upper School this school year!
New Upper School students began Orientation Day by connecting with their advisors and peer support groups, while returning 10th- and 12th-graders reunited with their advisors. Then, everyone gathered in Isenberg Auditorium, where they heard from faculty members and student leaders, and learned about upcoming programs and club opportunities.
Our seniors also gathered in Wheeler Hall to hear updates from the College Counseling team and other important information as they begin their final year at Wheeler.
It was a full day of reconnecting, getting oriented, and looking ahead — and a wonderful way to begin the school year together! 💜💛
