Founded in 1901 by two visionary women, Holton-Arms embraces a commitment to diversity, inclusion, and equity, while tending to the health and well-being of its community members. The school offers a globally focused curriculum designed to meet the needs of its learners and the world they will engage with as leaders of tomorrow.
Mrs. Holton's founding vision continues to inspire the school's aspirations: "My high hope is that those who enter through the 'Open Door' of Holton-Arms remember they felt, in the friendliness of a home, the urge to learn and the joy of overcoming obstacles as the way to happiness and the fullest life."
Holton students are scholars, artists, and athletes who find their voices, take risks, learn from mistakes, pursue leadership opportunities, and form lifelong friendships. The school motto,
Inveniam viam aut faciam (I will find a way or make one), exemplifies the spirit of agency and empowerment that defines our community.
We seek candidates from diverse backgrounds and experiences who share our passion for helping girls thrive. Together, we cultivate the leaders of tomorrow, prepared to make a meaningful impact in their communities and the world.
