The Hudson School in Hoboken graduated its twentieth twelfth-grade class on Sunday, June 15. Our thirty-sixth eighth grade also celebrated their transition to high school with a special moving up ceremony. Both events were held in the Community Church of Hoboken. College-bound seniors were accepted to more than forty-five colleges and universities in the United States and abroad, including Bard College, Boston University, Case Western reserve University, New York University, George Washington University, Oberlin, Parsons School of Design, Pomona College, and Vassar College.
This year’s graduating class of nineteen students has received over $1,826,000 in Merit Scholarships. (This does not include financial aid.)
The Hudson School, a small, independent school for grades 5-12 accredited by Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, was founded in 1978 by Suellen Newman. A community of scholars, it offers academically motivated and creative children a rigorous and broad college preparatory curriculum with strong emphasis on foreign language, the arts and community service.
The school’s need-blind admissions policy assures that its doors remain open to the families of every qualified child regardless of the family’s ability to pay.
