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.
