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 CityOn the Farm
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.

Wheeler recently welcomed some special visitors from Violet’s Village to Wheeler Farm. Violet’s Village is a local nonprofit that provides a free camp experience, for up to 20 students, that focuses on African history and culture, storytelling, creative expression, gardening, and community service.
During their day with us, the Violet’s Village campers toured the farm campus, went swimming in our new pool center, and enjoyed lunch on the Columbine Hill House deck. They also heard from student panelists Jyvon P. ’28, Marco W. ’28, Gabby L. ’29, and Nyla P. ’35, who shared their experiences as members of the Wheeler community.
“It was especially meaningful to have a couple of older students speaking with their peers, while the younger campers also had the opportunity to see and hear from students they could more easily identify with,” says Raffini, who is the founder and artistic director of Violet’s Village. The team mixed it up and made it work perfectly. In the end, our campers all got to hear the answer to the question they were asking: ‘What’s it like to go to school here?’ Overall, it was a great experience!”
“Building connections with local nonprofits like Violet’s Village creates opportunities for valuable exchange and allows students from across our community to learn about Wheeler,” notes Head of School Mark Anderson P’27.
“Many of the experiences that Violet’s Village offers to its campers align closely with values we embrace at Wheeler,” adds Assistant Director of Equity, Community, and Belonging Charlene Williams P’28. “It was wonderful to be able to create this opportunity alongside colleagues from across the school.”

This summer, Wheeler welcomed 22 middle school students from The Grace School to our campuses as part of a new partnership focused on learning, leadership, cultural affirmation, and community.
“The opportunity to create an enriching summer experience where students could explore their identities, build community, and take an active role in their learning made for a natural partnership between Wheeler and The Grace School,” says Director of Equity, Community, and Belonging Princess Bomba P’16, P’18.
“The Grace School Summer at Wheeler was designed with students’ voices at the table, not simply for them,” says Gerina Auguste, director of this summer’s inaugural Grace School at Wheeler Program. “From the moment they arrived, students were encouraged to share their voices, build connections, and participate in activities centered around outdoor exploration and community.” You can read the full story on our website by following the link in our bio! ✨
