Head of school

Paul A. Burke

Head of School

Mr. Paul Burke was unanimously named the seventh head of school at Nightingale and took on the role in July 2012. He believes that a school where everyone is known encourages students to take intellectual risks and establish their own voices.

Curriculum & special classes

A Nightingale education begins a remarkable journey from Lower School, where students learn to think independently, to the self-discovery of Middle School, to the global citizenry of Upper School. The curriculum includes requirements in English, History, Mathematics, Arts, Physical Education, Science, Health and Wellness, and World Languages.

Financial aid

Nightingale provides need-based financial aid to meet the difference between what a family can afford and the cost of tuition, using the Clarity application. For the 2025–2026 academic year, Nightingale awarded over $7 million in financial aid towards tuition to 18% of the student body, with an average award of approximately $55,000 per student.
