The Holderness School is a private school, coeducational college-preparatory school in Plymouth, New Hampshire. The student body of about 270 is drawn from many U.S. states and from other countries. While Holderness operates primarily as a boarding school, it enrolls some day students. Founded in 1879 under the auspices of the Episcopalian Diocese of New Hampshire, the school retains some links with the denomination, but now conducts ecumenical chapel services and welcomes applicants of all faiths. Special programs include Outback, a winter-camping expedition for juniors that includes a three-day solo tenting experience and journal-keeping. Seniors participate in college-style Senior Colloquium mini-courses on special topics, and undertake individual special projects either on or off-campus. Artward Bound offers freshman and new sophomores a 10-day, intensive period of working with supervising artists on individual projects. The school also sponsors group travel to disadvantaged neighborhoods in various cities for work in Habitat for Humanity programs. The school sits on high ground on the east side of the Pemigewasset River overlooking the town of Plymouth, N.H., population about 6,000, and home of Plymouth State University and Speare Memorial Hospital. Holderness is about 110 miles north of Boston. Access to Interstate 93 is within sight of the campus. Holderness School's 600 acres (2.4 km²) of land hosts academic buildings, a covered ice rink, eight playing fields, 10 tennis courts, and 10 kilometers of cross-country trails. In the past few years, the school has built a new library and health center, and installed wireless computer networking. Admission to Holderness School is competitive, and is based partly on results of the Secondary School Admissions Test. Financial aid is available. Head of School is R. Phillip Peck, M.Ed. ==References== Holderness School publications and website. ==External links== The school's Internet address is http://www.holderness.org. High schools in New Hampshire
