 I look back on my last posting and it is hard to believe that a month has passed. I have been busy negotiating for space, finishing up the term at the university where I teach, and interviewing faculty. Time flew!
As I have been talking with teachers, I have enjoyed very positive feedback on the goals of the school and its philosophy. A tough part is describing our students. For obvious reasons, this is important to prospective faculty. Although the school is geared to have the most supportive environment for learning for students, it is not a public school with a mandate to admit everybody and anybody. We are small and private. We will admit anybody whose values align with our honor code and who, in our professional opinion, can flourish in our school.

I shared what I was thinking about our prospective students last time. I recently came across this version of attempting to clarify if this school is right for a child and family. I think that I have been very consistent. Basically, if you agree with our teaching philosophy, our more rigorous curriculum, our Honor Code, and are willing to pay (with or without scholarships and discounts), as long as we have a seat, we are willing to try and help your child learn. We won't admit a child if we don't think we can help her or him. If it isn't working, we'll let you know as soon as possible. So check out my thought on our student body. From my earlier posts, you can see that we start this school in reaction to the restriction of learning, the clipping the wings of our children, in opposition to the standardization of learning found in other settings. We admit to our school, children who have the potential to become students who actively pursue learning, who can learn to fly and soar!
