This is Nightingale.

At Nightingale, a girl can be whoever she wants to be.

As Nightingale enters its second century, we invite you to walk through our history and learn about our values. Together, as we build a more inclusive Nightingale for our second century, we are committed to a more equitable community where all students are celebrated and valued.

Limitless Learning

A Nightingale education begins a remarkable journey as students’ lives become filled with genuine relationships, a supportive community, and a unique sense of belonging. From Lower School, where students learn to think independently, to the self-discovery of Middle School, to the global citizenry of Upper School, we seek to educate both mind and heart.

Space to Soar

Following the launch of Nightingale's first-ever athletics strategic plan, Nightingale is proud to unveil plans to construct a groundbreaking athletics facility located just minutes from its East 92nd Street Schoolhouse. The state-of-the-art center will redefine girls' athletics in New York City, creating an enviroment where students build confidence, resilience, and leadership skills that will serve them throughout their lives. The facility broke ground in October 2025, and is slated to open in fall of 2027.

Admissions

Within our blue doors, you will find a diverse and inclusive learning community. Every student, whenever she arrives at Nightingale, will have numerous opportunities to find her voice, supported by her community of peers, staff, faculty, and administration. We look forward to learning about your family and helping you understand the limitless possibilities of a Nightingale education.
