The Wheeler School is a coed independent day school located on the East Side of Providence, Rhode Island, United States. The school serves students from the nursery level through twelfth-grade. Wheeler was founded in 1889 by Mary Colman Wheeler, an American Impressionist artist and educator born in Concord, Massachusetts.
