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.

Educators' Open House
Thursday, January 30, 2025, 1:30 - 3:30 p.m.
Teachers, school administrators, high school placement counselors, consultants, and all education professionals who are interested in learning how we teach are invited to join in discussion and observation of what makes School One students excited to get to class. During this special Open House, educators will learn about the thoughtful arcs and approaches that School One teachers use to lead students though the term. After a session of front-loading curricular goals, visiting educators will have the choice to observe one of three classes:
- GREEK LITERATURE: an advanced English class
- FORENSICS: an entry level science class
- MASKS, MONSTERS, MASCOTS: a multilevel art class
