}}Rocky Hill School is an independent, coeducational, college preparatory day school located on 84 acres along the Potowomut River and Narragansett Bay in East Greenwich, Rhode Island. It educates in grades nursery through grade 12.[1]

History

The school was founded in 1934 by Dorothy Marshall as a local preschool.[2] Three years later, the first official schoolhouse was constructed to serve preschool through third grade. Nathan Hale, a descendant of the Revolutionary war hero of the same name, purchased the school in 1941.[3] and changed the school's name to Rocky Hill Country Day School[4] Four years after, the school’s first ninth grade class graduated. In 1945, Rocky Hill Country Day School moved 245 students to the former Hopelands country estate,[5] which was later acquired by the school and incorporated as a non-profit.

Uniforms and yearbooks were instilled as well as the development of Rocky Hill School’s Alma mater after Robert C. Smith became the headmaster in 1962. Five years later, the first 12th grade class graduated.

In 2001, the first laptop classroom was implemented in Rocky Hill School and a student laptop program was later implemented in 2004.[6]

Educational Model

This is a coeducational school that comprises three divisions

  • Lower School: Serving nursery- grade 5
  • Middle School: Serving grade 6 - grade 8
  • Upper School: Serving grade 9- grade 12

The Rocky Hill School Model encourages all students to articulate and champion their own ideas to strive towards intellectual independence and a lifetime of learning.[7] Through integrating technology in the classroom, outside learning[8] and the implementation of the Harkness methodology (Grades 6-12) where students and teachers sit at a round table encouraging discussions and involvement.[9][10]
