The Williston Northampton School inspires students to live with purpose, passion, and integrity. Now in its 176th year, Williston is shaped by its location in the Pioneer Valley of Western Massachusetts, an area defined by its natural beauty, prestigious colleges and universities, and rich intellectual and cultural history. We benefit from academic and cultural collaboration with the nearby Five Colleges to offer a holistic, rigorous education that integrates academics, athletics, and community life to promote high achievement for all our students according to their individual strengths, interests, and goals. In all grades, students work with committed and enthusiastic faculty to hone skills in conducting research, thinking critically, and becoming leaders. The 125-acre Williston campus, less than three hours from New York City and two hours from Boston, is located in the eclectic arts town of Easthampton. ENROLLMENT
