About Nightingale

Founded by two bold, visionary entrepreneurs in the same year that women won the right to vote, the Nightingale-Bamford School has helped generations of girls to become strong, independent, confident women. We offer a rigorous, college-preparatory education from Kindergarten through grade 12 in a caring and attentive school community.




Nightingale is always with our family and with our daughter. I have seen it as she paged through her college catalogue cackling with excitement at the offerings, as she spoke of the questions she'd asked in class, and in the decisions she has made about the balance of her academic program. I see the mark of this wonderful school in her curiosity, her competence, and her confidence.
