Who We Are

We are a private nonprofit boarding school for middle school girls experiencing housing insecurity. Our boarding school provides an alternative housing model for homeless youth by bridging the gap between traditional educational and transitional housing.

We focus on the power of education to provide our students with a safe, structured, and caring environment where they can focus on their education while learning valuable life skills that they can utilize to break cycles of homelessness and poverty. Our mission is to deliver on the promise that every young person has the potential to change the world.

Integrity

We are honest in our dealings with everyone. We always try to do the right thing—even when that might be the more difficult path, and even when no one is looking. We have positive personal morals and principles which we follow at all times.

Self-Resilience

To cultivate self-advocacy and resilience so that we can make the most of our support networks. We grow holistically, including intellectually, socially, ethically, and spiritually, so that we can be prepared to contribute to the common good in the world beyond The Hull Academy.

Hope

We anchor our soul in the knowledge of a brighter future so that we may weather any storm. This knowledge will carry us in our darkest times and make us smile in our happiest days. It is what will keep us going no matter what. A feeling of trust, a desire to believe, a ground of peace. The compass we will always have when we feel lost. 

Mission Statement

To create a place of remarkable opportunity and transformation, where young girls can rely on consistent education and stability to uncover talents they never knew they possessed, emerging as confident, articulate advocates for themselves and others.

Academics

Mastery learning prepares our graduates to navigate an ever-evolving world with confidence. We develop our students’ initiative,
independence, and habits of mind to prepare them for their individual life paths.

AN INTERDISCIPLINARY EDUCATION

At the Hull Academy, our education goes beyond preparing students for college—it equips them with the skills needed to thrive in life. We foster awareness, understanding, and empower young women to create a global impact. Our graduates are ready to shape a dynamic and ever-changing world.
