  Northfield Mount Hermon : A Brief History of NMH
Northfield Mount Hermon School began as two schools: the Northfield Seminary for Young Ladies, which opened in 1879, and the Mount Hermon School for Boys, which opened in 1881.
In 1971, the schools became a single coeducational institution with one faculty, one administration, and two coed campuses.
In January 2004, the board of trustees voted to operate the school on one campus, the Mount Hermon campus in Gill, Massachusetts, in September 2005.

 Northfield Mount Hermon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The school was originally founded by famed Protestant evangelist Dwight Lyman Moody (DLM) as two separate institutions: The Northfield Seminary for Young Ladies in 1879, and Mount Hermon School for Boys in 1881.
The school operated on two campuses up until the end of the 2004-2005 school year, but consolidated all students and classes onto its Mount Hermon Campus when the school's trustees decided that students would best benefit educationally and socially in a smaller, more close-knit community.
In 2004, the trustees of Northfield Mount Hermon School decided to close the Northfield campus and to consolidate the school as of September 2005 with a smaller coeducational student body on the Mount Hermon campus.
