The Nightingale-Bamford School

The mission of the Nightingale-Bamford School is to educate the minds and hearts of its students in a challenging, vibrant community that prizes academic excellence. At Nightingale, we provide a classical curriculum to motivated students of varied interests and talents. What our students share is a demanding academic environment in which their teachers inspire them to love learning and to embrace curiosity, creativity and hard work. Our commitment to the success of every girl is absolute, and we believe that success comes in many forms. The Admissions Office team welcomes the opportunity to speak with families who wish to learn more about Nightingale. We seek to enroll students who are bright, motivated, and curious and show strong academic and personal promise.
