Upper School In the Know
- Upper School
We are grateful to all of our parents and students who joined us for Student-Led Conferences on Friday. These conversations are an important part of our school culture, giving students the chance to reflect on their progress, share their goals, and take ownership of their learning. It was inspiring to see our students leading these conversations with confidence and pride, and we appreciate the thoughtful questions and encouragement from families and advisors.
Your partnership makes a tremendous difference as we work together to support each child’s growth in character, intellect, and spirit. Thank you for celebrating the hard work and accomplishments of our students. We look forward to seeing how students build on these reflections in the months ahead.

Starting this week, Advisory will move to 11:00am on Tuesdays, and we are adding a 35-minute Tutorial block on Tuesday afternoons for students and teachers to connect. This adjustment comes directly from teacher and student feedback and is designed to provide more intentional time for support and growth.
