Wheelock College

Our Mission

To improve the lives of children and families.

Our Vision

As a private college with a public mission, Wheelock strives to be the premier college educating people to create a safe, caring, and just world for children and families. As we have since 1888, we contribute to the vitality of families, communities, and societies by:

Educating students who are well prepared academically and as practitioners with real-world experience—ready to be leaders and advocates, confident in their abilities, and sought after in a wide range of careers;

Advocating for programs, policies, and laws that enhance the quality of life for children and families.
