Head of School Bart Bronk

Welcome Home to The Hun School!

As you explore The Hun School, I hope you gain a sense not only of the programs and people that make Hun special, but also a strong sense of the philosophy and shared purpose that motivates our work. At Hun, this belief system, indeed our Mission, lives in everything that we do and informs every choice we make.

We believe that not only can academic excellence and joy coexist, but that in fact they must. We know that students who find joy and vigor in their intellectual experience ask bigger questions, dig deeper for novel answers, and find intrinsic motivation in learning about topics that matters to them, and matter in the greater world.

We believe that mentorship matters. We know students do incredible things when they feel seen and known by caring faculty members who want nothing less than for students to become the very best version of themselves. It’s the promise on which John Gale Hun founded his tutoring school more than a century ago, and one that lives on vibrantly in our warm community of connections.

We believe in balance. We know that within each student is a scholar, an athlete, an artist, an activist, an entrepreneur, and so much more. We intentionally give students the space — and support — to nurture these myriad talents and interests in our programs. At Hun, you will have all of the encouragement and tools needed to pursue your passions with purpose, stretch beyond your comfort zone, and grow with confidence in every direction that calls you.

We believe character counts. We know Hun’s indelible sense of community is built on a bedrock of kindness, empathy, and honor. Our vibrant cultural programming celebrates the many identities that make up our diverse community and allows students to bring their full selves to campus. Hun Raiders cheer for each other and support each other in every endeavor.

And fundamentally, we believe in every Hun Raider’s promise and potential to change the world. We know they can, because for more than 110 years, Hun alums have done just that.

We hope to see you on campus soon.
