In September 2023, an announcement was made that The Hudson School and the Mustard Seed School, with 93 students in grades PreK-8, would merge for the 2024–25 school year under the name of The Hudson School. The combined school would become the only independent PreK-12 school in Hudson County. As part of the plan, the Mustard Seed School building would serve the joint school's PreK-8 students while the existing facility of The Hudson School would serve grades 9-12. For the 2023–24 school year, the Hudson School Middle School moved into the fourth floor of Mustard Seed School. [7] [8]

As of the 2021–22 school year, the school had an enrollment of 187 students and 43.1 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 4.3:1. The school's student body was 51.9% (97) White, 16.6% (31) Asian, 13.4% (25) two or more races, 10.2% (19) Black and 8.0% (15) Hispanic. [1]

History

The Hudson School was founded in fall 1978 by Suellen Newman, with the financial assistance of the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation, as an alternative to the available educational institutions in the local area. The school seeks to foster the Three C's ("courage, compassion and commitment") in its students, [9] who are admitted because "they demonstrate a love of learning and don't mind a bit of hard work." In 1992, a high school was opened, since there were few high schools in the area with strong humanities and arts programs that admitted girls. [10] The school moved to its current location in 2002.

Rankings

In 2025, The Hudson School was ranked 1st in Hudson County and 31st in the state on the list of the best private high schools in New Jersey by Niche, with an academic score of A+. [11]

Academics

Some of the courses offered include pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, precalculus, environmental science, chemistry, physics, English, physical education, American history, geography, art, renaissance history, ethics and aesthetics. Languages offered are Spanish, French, Japanese, Mandarin, Russian, American Sign Language, Latin, and Greek.
