Miss Hall's School

Miss Hall's School, founded in 1898, was one of the first all-girls boarding schools in New England. Today it enrolls between 101 and 200 students in grades 9 through 12 on a campus in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, in the heart of the Berkshires. The school has no religious affiliation and draws students from across the country and abroad.

The academic program pairs a college-prep curriculum with two signature leadership programs. Horizons places students in weekly work alongside community partners, and the Girls' Leadership Project builds skills across all four years. Language offerings include Mandarin, French, Spanish, Latin, and English as an Alternative Language, reflecting the school's international enrollment.

Because the student body is small, teaching culture at Miss Hall's is hands-on. Classes are small, advising loads are personal, and most faculty take on a second role — mentoring a Horizons placement, coaching a sport, or serving in the residential program. Boarding faculty often live on campus and eat meals with students during term, so the day blends teaching, advising, and dorm life.

Compensation is competitive with peer independent schools, and residential roles typically include housing and term-time meals. Pittsfield's cost of living runs well below eastern Massachusetts, which stretches a salary further while keeping Boston, Albany, and Berkshires arts venues in easy reach.

With 2023 net assets above $42 million and revenue near $23 million, the school stands on stable ground. Hiring spans classroom teachers in the humanities, sciences, languages, and arts, plus residential, coaching, admission, and advancement staff.
