You’re One of a Kind.
So Are We.
School One is a progressive, private high school in Rhode Island where students from many different backgrounds come together in a supportive community. Since 1973, School One students have pursued meaningful questions through interdisciplinary coursework and sophisticated arts instruction. Never “one-size-fits-all,” School One’s approach builds on each student’s strengths and interests. Our graduates go on to top-ranked colleges, art schools, and most importantly, go on to lead lives of caring and compassion.
“School One is a rare blend of rigorous, non-competitive, and supportive. Our small classes are similar to college seminars — filled with student voices, debate, and meaningful questions about the world.”
School One's flexible environment is well suited to accommodate International students and students with mild to moderate special education needs.
School One does not and shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, gender expression, age, national origin, disability, marital status, sexual orientation, or military status.
UPCOMING EVENTS
School One Artist Talks Series
Join us at School One Wednesday, February 12, 2025, 4:00 - 5:00 p.m., will be Monica Shinn, a local painter and former School One teacher.
Since moving to Providence in 1996, Monica Shinn has worked as a writer, a painter, a carpenter, a metalsmith, a welder, and an electrician. Having a technician’s knowledge and a fine art training informs both her design work and her painting. Monica’s paintings describe her neighborhood, bits and pieces of daily life in Providence and other places. She composes as a colorist, pushing depth and dimension with the force of color rather than traditional time perspective. Her drawings tend more toward reality than realism, and her spare works on paper are often achingly stark and true. Monica’s images explore the loneliness and awkwardness of humans being together.
