Our Three Signature Programs

Designed for students entering grades 7–12, our programs combine engaging, in-depth academic study with meaningful opportunities for personal growth and exploration. Beyond the classroom, students enjoy hallmark summer enrichment experiences such as field days, movie nights, and cookouts with friends on campus, along with off-campus adventures like whitewater rafting and exploring New England.

  • “We saw NMH Summer as a chance to allow our daughter to experience the kind of environment where she could truly thrive. It exceeded our hopes. In her Model UN class, she felt engaged, inspired, and intellectually challenged in a way she had only dreamed of, especially given her interest in global issues and civic engagement. “

  • “My experience in the AI Pioneers program was both challenging, inspiring and fun. I learned about different AI models and how they can be applied to real-world problems. Working on a hands-on project helped me understand and the small group discussions made it easier to ask questions and learn from others.”

    - Student Attendee

  • “I wanted to thank you for making my summer such a memorable experience. I especially want to thank all of my teachers for your guidance and encouragement. I really enjoyed our classes, weekend trips, and the time I spent with my classmates.

    “One important thing I learned this summer was to be brave enough to speak up and not be afraid of making mistakes. I realized that making mistakes is part of learning, and each mistake can help me do better next time. This experience helped me become more confident when speaking English and talking with other people. I also really enjoyed my art classes and having the opportunity to draw, try different materials, and create my own artwork.

    “Thank you again for all your support and for making my summer at NMH so special. I will always remember this experience and hope to stay connected in the future.” 

    — English-Language Immersion student

  • “Thank you for the beautifully organized NMH Summer experience, the support and education of my son. Your system and structure supported my son, who admitted that it was challenging and at the same time it was very interesting!

    “For a year, I tried to convince him of the need to study at a private American school, and all this time he resisted. NMH Summer has changed everything! I do not know how you managed it, but you are definitely doing everything right. Thanks again!”

    — Parent

  • “Thank you very much for making these two weeks a great experience for my son. He was a little anxious to attend NMH Summer and study math. You encouraged him, gave him support, and made him feel accepted. Because of the way you approached him, he enjoyed your class and learned more than I would have expected. His experience in his math class was great just because of you. Thank you for your professionalism and for being such a great teacher!”
