| an education in craftsmanship letter from the president

Friends and Alumni:

I am pleased to report North Bennet Street School enjoyed another successful year. In interesting ways, the school’s success comes despite of and because the year was characterized by the uncertainty and stress of a prolonged financial recession and high unemployment.

The lingering economic downturn has caused the re-examination of many aspects of the American economy and culture, including its system of higher education. From academic studies to op-ed articles in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal, a growing chorus is questioning the value of a traditional undergraduate degree both in terms of its promise of employment and its cost. That debate was the subject of this year’s commencement address at Old North Church, when Robert B. Schwartz, Academic Dean of the Harvard Graduate School of Education, addressed what he considers the mistaken assumption that a four-year college degree is the only path to financial success and a middle-class life. He noted that, in the future, one-third of jobs will require training not found in a traditional undergraduate program. The type of training needed for these future jobs is found in the programs offered at North Bennet Street School and the underlying need is reflected in the school’s long-standing mission.

North Bennet Street School is not immune to the problems facing higher education. Our graduates leave with levels of debt that are far beyond previous generations, and that is especially troubling given the modest incomes most graduates will earn while beginning their careers. But, in many ways, the school is well-positioned to be an educational leader in the coming years. We provide professional training in careers that cannot be outsourced. Our graduates produce and repair useful, durable objects that give meaning to the lives of the makers as well as to consumers. Two of our programs, carpentry and locksmithing, are especially suited to individuals seeking re-training by providing a path to a productive livelihood in just nine months.

On a deeper level, the school is well-positioned because its core values have renewed meaning in the wake of the collapse of trusted institutions and the disillusionment of many white-collar workers. These core values are prominent in the messaging found on the school’s new website, which launched this year, and in this Annual Report — Advancing Craft Traditions, Inspiring Community, Master Faculty, Collaborative Culture, Commitment to Excellence, Meaningful Careers. They represent both the 130-year legacy of North Bennet Street School and its future. m

Thanks to all of you.

Advancing Craft Traditions The North Bennet Street School’s reputation as a center of craftsmanship makes it an international resource for amateurs, professionals and institutions that seek connection to the craft-centered environment and expertise at the school. Programs that bring professionals to the school to teach workshops, lecture and demonstrate in the full-time program are complemented by programs that send NBSS graduates and faculty into the community to lecture, teach and collaborate with other educational institutions. These ongoing programs and events reach adults and children of all ages.

Students from thirty states and three countries, and ranging in age from 17 to 62, participated in programs during fiscal year 2011. Workshop instructors included full-time faculty members, alumni and master craftsmen including Dominic Riley, a bookbinder, teacher and filmmaker from England; Jeff Fleisher, a woodcarver from Virginia; Alan Meltzer, a local master goldsmith and CAD-savvy designer; and Steve Smithers, a silversmith who uses original methods to create and restore classic silver objects. Likewise, NBSS faculty exhibit, teach and lecture widely at national conferences and related schools. Highlights of NBSS faculty activity are found on page 9. Bringing experts to the school and supporting faculty and graduates in the larger community nourishes and perpetuates the culture of traditional craftsmanship.

Inspiring Community

The North Bennet Street School community is diverse, creative, friendly and talented. Students are recent high-school graduates, college transfer students and mid-life career changers. Students come from Boston, from New England states, from across the country and from other nations. Alumni say the inspiring community and intensive, hands-on programs contribute to their confidence and success. They value the school’s prestigious reputation, dedicated master instructors and collaborative,

professional network. Alumni remain involved with NBSS as guest

lecturers, instructors, mentors, employers and donors. ccccccccccccccccccccc

“Locksmithing was a career change for me. I was working in the construction trades and looking for something new in the service industry. The school environment is upbeat and everyone is very supportive — both during school and when it came time to look for a job.”

“The challenge was believing I could really do this. I am also the only woman in the preservation carpentry class and I wondered if I would feel intimidated, but, after the first day of class, I was comfortable and confident. The best part is the people — the other students and the instructors. The projects we work on cover every part of the preservation carpentry trade. I’ve created great friends and the knowledge

and skills I’ve gained are priceless.”

The training provides a solid foundation and allows each student to work in greater depth in the areas that are most pertinent to their interests. The networking is great and the reputation of the school is synonymous with excellent craftsmanship.”

2011 distinguished alumni award Barbara Adams Hebard, BB ’90

After graduating from NBSS in 1990, Barbara was a book conservator at the Boston Athenaeum for 18 years. She worked on books once owned by luminaries including George Washington and John Quincy Adams as well as hundreds of 18th- and 19th-century imprints and manuscripts. In 2009, she became the conservator of the John J. Burns Library at Boston College.

Barbara regularly displays her work at shows, lectures and writes for publications. She has served as an exhibition curator and volunteers her time in many ways in the bookbinding community including as an active member of the NBSS community. Barbara maintains a contact list of bookbinding graduates and each year she stops by the classroom to make new entries in her work-bench genealogy — a document that traces the occupants of every workbench in bookbinding and serves as a wonderful reminder of the rich legacy of bookbinding graduates.

Master Faculty North Bennet Street School instructors are among the most respected men and women in their fields. Many are NBSS graduates and have taught for more than 10 years. Faculty members often teach master classes at national conferences and are contributing authors to national publications. In addition to teaching, faculty members continue to practice their crafts, work on commissions, exhibit, and sell their work. Graduates of NBSS often become master teachers at other institutions.

Collaborative Culture At North Bennet Street School, students regularly consult each other and work together. The diverse backgrounds and experiences of students and faculty members engender a rich dialogue. Learning from peers happens consistently and spontaneously, with everyone contributing something unique. Similarly, the school itself is a regular collaborator with educational and cultural institutions in Boston and beyond. Programs are enriched and experience is gained through these evolving relationships.

i n v a l u a b l e e x p e r i e n c e North Bennet Street School students often spend the summer

as interns in libraries and museums, at historic sites and at music

festivals. These internships with collaborative organizations provide invaluable experience that enhances students’ education and ccccccccccccccccccccc contributes to their ability to secure jobs after school.

treasurer’s report

a u g u s t 1, 2010 – j u l y 31, 2011

On behalf of the Finance Committee of the Board of Directors, I am pleased to present the Treasurer’s Report for fiscal year 2011.

The school had a solid year with revenues of $4,619,874 and expenses of $3,967,009. In comparison to fiscal year 2010, revenues increased by 7.98% while expenses rose by 6.21%. As a result of strong revenue and careful control of expenses, the school added $652,866 to its net assets, bringing the total to $6,298,022.

Students are benefiting from an increase in the number and size of scholarships offered by the school. The budget for school-funded financial assistance grew by more than 20%. This increase comes at an opportune time to aid students who are experiencing the pressure of the sluggish economic recovery.

Grant revenue, both restricted and unrestricted, exceeded expectations by 94% and 103% respectively with total grant revenue exceeding $500,000. This increase reflects the school’s progress in setting the stage for a capital campaign.

The Board wishes to acknowledge Daniel S. Cheever’s service as past Treasurer. In addition to his tenure as Treasurer, his experience as head of a major educational institution in Boston, Simmons College, added a great wealth of knowledge and experience to the Board.

The Board again expresses its admiration for the school’s administration and faculty in helping to maintain the school’s financial stability in a very difficult economic environment.m

Sincerely,

peter h. talbot treasurer

In Boston’s North End North Bennet Street School has been a center for activity in the North End for well over one hundred years. The school enjoys a positive reputation in the neighborhood built on its long-standing commitment to serving the families of the North End and supporting local businesses. Students live and work in the neighborhood and remark that the school’s location is one reason why they choose to study here.

a neighborhood c o n n e c t i o n NBSS has established a successful partnership with the nearby John Eliot School — a public K-8 school. The schools share a long history of collaboration and first worked together in the late 19th century. The current collaboration began when the schools jointly developed a pilot middle-school woodworking program in 2009 and recently expanded to include temporary space at NBSS for a John Eliot School art room, office and social studies classroom.

"The woodworking program at North Bennet Street School has made a huge impression on our students, many of whom have never had an opportunity to work with their hands. Woodworking enriches their learning in all areas and exposes them to new ways of thinking about their future. The connection with such a unique education resource is wonderful and the fact that it is right in the neighborhood is an added bonus"
