NMH is a member of the Eight Schools Association, a group of elite high schools established in 1973 and comprising Phillips Academy (known as Andover), Phillips Exeter Academy (known as Exeter), Choate Rosemary Hall (known as Choate), Deerfield Academy, Hotchkiss School, Lawrenceville School, and St. Paul’s School.

Dormitories: Faculty members and their families live with students in 13 dorms.

The boys’ dorms and the girls’ dorms at Northfield Mount Hermon offer a wide variety of living spaces.
If you like lots of people around all the time, we have a house that accommodates 150 students. If you like living on a smaller scale, there’s a house for just 14. Day students are assigned to a dorm so they can keep their belongings in a locker and spend the night on weekends.
The dorms have great amenities, too. One has giant bedrooms, another, a garden lounge. Some have terraces or a TV room, a snack bar or a full kitchen. They all have public computers and a printer, and of course students can access the Internet and the NMH network from their rooms.
