The Hudson School is a private, nonsectarian, coeducational day school located in Hoboken, in Hudson County, New Jersey, United States, serving students in fifth through twelfth grade. The school has been accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Secondary Schools since 1991.[2]
As of the 2009-10 school year, the school had an enrollment of 195 students and 36.3 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 5.4.[1]
The Hudson School was founded in the fall of 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[3], who are admitted because "they demonstrate a love of learning and don't mind a bit of hard work." In 1991, a high school was opened.
The Hudson School is a member of the New Jersey Association of Independent Schools.[4]
Some of the basic courses offered are algebra, geometry, pre-algebra, environmental science, chemistry, physics, Latin, Spanish, French, Japanese, German, English, physical education, American history, geography, art, ethics, renaissance history, ethics and aesthetics.

"“The year, I left high school my insane British friend Quentin, he is both insane and British and he’s been working in a union organization and very real radical causes from a very young age,” he remembers, “The year I left he started a true reporting paper within my high school, the Hudson School, and it did actually go up against the blonde leader of the more popular school paper.”"
