Northfield Mount Hermon (NMH) belongs to the Eight Schools Association — the historic league that includes Phillips Academy Andover and Phillips Exeter. Set on one of the largest school campuses in America in Massachusetts' Connecticut River Valley, NMH educates 630 students from around 60 countries. Its philosophy of "education for the head, heart, and hands" pairs intense academics with real breadth: 67 sports teams, 60 arts performances a year, and a distinctive postgraduate (PG) year that lets students add a year of American schooling before university. Alumni include actresses Uma Thurman and Laura Linney.
Why Atlas recommends it
Elite-league academics with a genuinely international, down-to-earth community — a strong fit for capable students who would find the most cut-throat schools limiting. The PG year is a unique tool for European students: an extra year to raise academic credentials, master the U.S. system, and enter university admissions from a far stronger position — especially valuable for athletes targeting U.S. college recruitment.
University outcomes
NMH sends graduates to the Ivy League and other leading universities every year — recent multi-year matriculation lists include Harvard, Yale, Brown, Columbia, and Cornell.
Sports & activities
20 interscholastic sports across 67 teams — from ice hockey and crew to alpine skiing — with a strong record of placing athletes into university programs. For student athletes, NMH offers next-level coaching, facilities, and direct visibility to U.S. college recruiters.
Scholarships
For the most gifted students, Atlas negotiates individual scholarships of up to 100% of tuition — with a scholarship, a year here can cost less than a private school in your home country.
