ABOUT HORACE MANN SCHOOL
Horace Mann School is a coeducational, college-preparatory, independent day school for students from Nursery through grade 12. The School seeks to stretch the imagination, intellect, and insight of its students while developing the moral characteristics that impart identity and purpose. We recognize as our core values: the Life of the Mind, Mature Behavior, Mutual Respect, a Secure and Healthful Environment, and a Balance between Individual Achievement and a Caring Community.
These core values guide our decision-making and govern the implementation of our curriculum and programs across all divisions of Horace Mann School.
In addition to its campuses in Manhattan and the Bronx, NY, the School also owns and maintains the John Dorr Nature Laboratory, a comprehensive outdoor education facility on 320 largely wooded acres in Washington, CT.
One of the nation’s 10 largest independent day schools, as of September 2025, the School enrolls 1,823 students from 149 zip codes, primarily representing Manhattan, the Bronx, New Jersey, Westchester, and Connecticut.
For 2025–26, 87% of students N–12 reported optional race and/or ethnicity information. Of that group, 60% identify as students of color, 38% identify as White non-Hispanic/Latine, and 2% identify as international.
Just over 49% of our students identify as girls, 50% identify as boys, and a third group expresses a different gender identity. Approximately 17% of our current students receive Financial Aid to attend Horace Mann School.
Thirty-seven percent of School administrators, teachers, and staff members identified as a race other than white and/or as Hispanic/Latine.
Over the past five years, the School has recorded a 97% annual student retention rate and a 92% annual employee retention rate.
