We recognize as our core values:

the Life of the Mind, Mature Behavior, Mutual Respect, a Secure and Healthful Environment, and a Balance between Individual Achievement and a Caring Community.

These core values guide our decision-making and govern the implementation of our curriculum and programs across all divisions of Horace Mann School.

Over the past five years, the School has recorded a 97% annual retention rate for students and a 92% retention rate for all employees.

The Upper Division at Horace Mann School provides a demanding academic experience for more than 700 highly motivated, hard-working students.

Combining rigorous courses in STEM fields with ambitious courses in the Humanities and Arts, the Upper Division curriculum allows students to build essential critical thinking skills, to delve deep into their areas of interest, and to become independent thinkers.

Students and faculty take pleasure in intellectual pursuit and the understanding of their connections to the world around them.
