When it reaches Manaus, the black waters of the Rio Negro converge with the brown muddy waters of the Amazon and begin their long journey to the Atlantic. Interestingly, the rivers don’t immediately integrate; rather, they travel side by side, almost as two distinct rivers, for nearly six miles (it’s actually quite striking!) before they truly blend and become one. The feature article in this issue of Shady Side Academy Magazine celebrates another kind of convergence: the merger of Fox Chapel Country Day School and Shady Side Academy. This was not a new idea. In fact, at different points over the past 30 years, a small number of people in both school communities always believed that joining forces was a good idea. So why now? One important reason is that the schools have evolved in a way that has brought us closer together. It’s not so much the black waters of the Rio Negro versus the muddy brown waters of the Amazon, but two schools that are now much more similar than they were in terms of the feel of each place and the overall program. There are, of course, differences between the schools, and our goal is to honor and respect the unique characteristics of each. The reasons that parents chose Country Day School or the Junior School will still exist. For the near future, the two schools will flow on a parallel course with small and rather organic mixing. One of the great benefits of the merger to both schools is that both faculties will be meeting together and sharing ideas and best practices. Ultimately, this will make both programs stronger, but any changes will be evolutionary and incremental. The best part of all of this is that prospective parents now have two excellent elementary school choices under the Shady Side Academy umbrella: the Country Day School in Fox Chapel and the Junior School in Point Breeze. With an increased geographic reach into the North Hills as a result of the merger, we expect Country Day to see incremental gains in enrollment. With the favorable demographics of neighborhoods in the East End, we expect the same at the Junior School. Our goal is to provide a consistent stream of well-prepared students from both campuses to our Middle School, adding to the overall strength of the Academy. It’s a great strategic decision for Shady Side. Sincerely, Tom Cangiano Academy President 2 / WINTER 2016–2017 / SHADY SIDE ACADEMY Read more about the merger on page 28. aroundNEWS AND NOTES theacademy Shady Side Academy Announces EQT Scholars Program In the fall, Shady Side Academy and the EQT Foundation announced than $300,000.
