A leader isn't the loudest girl in the room, but the one whose strength of intellect, identity, integrity, and imagination breaks down its very walls.

The mission of the Nightingale-Bamford School is to educate the minds and the hearts of its students in a challenging, vibrant community that prizes academic excellence.

Founded in 1920, Nightingale is an independent K-12 girls' school that provides an unmatched liberal arts education adapted to the modern world. We welcome motivated students of varied background, interests, and talents—and cultivate in each a capacity to understand and act on issues of global significance.
