— WELCOME TO THE HOWARD GARDNER SCHOOL
A Place Where Every Student Thrives
The Howard Gardner School is a small, college-preparatory high school that values curiosity, creativity, and community. We believe that learning should be engaging, purposeful, and connected to the real world. Our students grow into independent thinkers who understand themselves, care about others, and make a positive impact wherever they go.
Learning Beyond the Classroom
Education at HGS doesn’t stop at the desk — it extends into the real world. From service projects and field studies to internships and community work, students gain meaningful experiences that connect what they learn to how they live. We encourage exploration, curiosity, and discovery so that learning feels alive, relevant, and exciting every day.
— EXPLORING OUR ENVIRONMENT
Journeys That Spark Curiosity
At The Howard Gardner School, we believe that nature is one of the best teachers. Stepping outside the classroom and into the world around us opens the door to discovery, creativity, and personal growth. Our students learn by doing—whether they’re hiking local trails, exploring museums, or studying ecosystems firsthand.
Experience is a powerful teacher, and each trip helps students see connections between what they learn and the world they live in. By venturing beyond our campus, they gain a deeper understanding of their environment, their community, and themselves.
