A small boarding and day school outside of Boston, Dana Hall is a prestigious all-girls school located in Wellesley, MA. A large population of the school consists of day students, which is different from its roots as an all-boarding school. While Dana Hall can be a tough environment for those who aren't ready to live by themselves or be exposed to the behavior of old and new money wealthy (and less wealthy, albeit a smaller population of this catagory exists) girls that are pushed academically and socially - it often results in mature young women who learn a lot about the world through their time at the school. Being a boarder is definitly harder than being a day student but at the same time friendships are made in either situation that will last a lifetime. The traditions are the most meaningful and memorable experiences most girls will have while at Dana Hall and the students often fight against the administration to keep them in existance.
Dana Hall was traditionally started as a prep school for Wellesley College and ties with the university are now unofficial but still exist on lesser terms. The school was founded in 1881 and continues to foster life-long bonds and memories in its successful students.
