Hartsbrook: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow

The growth of The Hartsbrook School has been rapid. From the purchase of the Ben Smith Tavern in 1984 to the design and building of Piening Hall in 1989, and to the construction of the new Elementary School, the tradition of extraordinarily generous contributions from parents, alumni and friends has supported us in our vision to “unite and expand the campus.”

What began 22 years ago in the basement of a home in Amherst, Massachusetts has now grown to two sites in Hadley; the Ben Smith, located at 94 Bay Road, home for early childhood through second grade, and the Hartsbrook School campus located at 193 Bay Road, serving grades three through high school.

Today, The Hartsbrook School looks toward the future with pride in its many accomplishments. We will continue to offer a unique learning experience to residents of the Pioneer Valley that integrates the disciplines of movement, fine arts, and practical arts into the study of humanities, science, math, and technology. And we will continue to need your help.
