After class

As a seven-day boarding school, Dana Hall is an active, encouraging community – a place to find friendships and explore new interests. Girls from varied backgrounds find commonalities during walks into Wellesley for shopping and treats, trips to Boston for concerts or sporting events, on-campus dances or movies, service activities, or just downtime after class.

Pulled out of my shell 

Coming into Dana, I had never played sports and I was in only one or two clubs. Now I play two sports and I'm in six clubs!  At Dana, I took art classes, and started fencing and playing lacrosse. My fellow students really motivated me and pulled me out of my shell.

A growing group

When I arrived as a freshman, Kesher, the Jewish student youth group, was only four girls. But I have watched it grow to over 25!  It means a lot to me to see the group evolve and have a prominent place in the community. Kesher has allowed me to find my identity by being with other Jewish students.
