Birchwood School of Hawken was founded in 1984 by a group of parents and educators who were determined to give their children, as well as members of the community, an unparalleled education that offered exceptional academic programming with an emphasis on achievement ethics, hard work, and character.
The school has remained true to its mission: to provide an educational setting where challenging academics build solid work habits, an achievement culture nurtures healthy attitudes, and a caring environment forges social responsibility.
