Welcome to our Hamden Hall Community. We use the word “community” quite a bit on campus because of the unwavering support provided to our students by our past and present families, our alumni, and our faculty and staff.

I have the distinct pleasure of a dual vantage point: I am both a Hamden Hall parent and educator, and I see firsthand the results of The Hamden Hall Experience. Our students excel because of the opportunities they are afforded and the guidance they are provided by our esteemed faculty. We set high standards and our students respond with unflappable poise and resilience.

Yet just as important as our rigorous curriculum, Signature Programs, and myriad extracurricular activities is the foundation of social responsibility, respect, and global citizenship that is fostered in our students during their time under the pines. We care about the kinds of people our students become after they graduate.

Bob and Janet Izzo have three children, all of whom are "lifers": Mike, who graduated from Hamden Hall in 2012 and the University of Notre Dame in 2016; Allison, who graduated in 2014 and from Wake Forest in 2018; and Christopher, who graduated in 2018 and obtained his master's degree at Boston College.

Hamden Hall Country Day School, an independent, college preparatory, coeducational PreSchool through Grade 12 day school, fosters the individual growth of every student. We challenge students to develop a strong sense of personal integrity, social responsibility, and a global perspective, while preparing them for demanding academic programs at the collegiate level.
