As an alum of NMH from the olden days (back when girls attended Northfield and the boys MH), I wouldn't trade my experience there for the world. I made awesome friends there who have been a wonderful part of my life for over 40 years. DL Moody, who started the schools back in 1879, provided amazing values and expectations. The work program, the Socratic teaching method, debating with teachers encouraged as long as you could "back it up" with evidence, ideas, thoughts, suggestions, learning with both your head and your heart. Northfield was much harder academically than Tufts where I got my BA, and though Tufts was a great experience, Northfield gave me the basics and an amazingly solid foundation that has stood the test of time. I was lucky to go there.
