GRACE CHURCH SCHOOL New York, New York HEAD of SCHOOL Start Date: July 2022 Gcschool.Org GRACE CHURCH SCHOOL New York, New York HEAD OF SCHOOL Start Date: July 2022 gcschool.org Mission Statement Grace Church School aims to establish in its students firmly rooted confidence in themselves and their abilities. Because we believe that school experience sets the foundation for lifelong intellectual and social growth, we strive to develop in each student mental keenness, physical confidence, pleasure in learning, and the skills basic to understanding one’s self and the world. Our structured curriculum, enriched with broad opportunities for creative expression, assumes as fundamental the mastery of a specific range of academic skills, especially the ability to express one’s own ideas and to appraise those of others. Yet the educational goals of the school are broader than intellectual and social development. We nurture in our students a steady, affectionate trust in themselves and their world, made resilient by the interaction of different ethnic, religious, and socio-economic influences. We strive to help each student develop an active ethical consciousness, supported by close acquaintance with Judeo- Christian beliefs and enhanced by the beauty and faith inherent in Grace Church. We encourage a mutually supportive relationship between family and school. We aim to have students graduate from Grace Church School with a strong sense of self, able to think clearly, function well academically, and embrace coming challenges with confidence. OVERVIEW For over a century, Grace Church School has been enriching its students’ lives by weaving tenets of the Episcopal school tradition—social justice, community engagement, ethics, and personal integrity—into a rigorous, thoughtfully evolved curriculum. Families who join Grace do so because the school offers an outstanding academic experience within an inclusive, diverse, and accepting community. Grace, a coeducational independent school located on two campuses in downtown Manhattan, serves approximately 770 students across grades JK-12. It is a thriving and vibrant place where committed teachers and eager students are absorbed in the exciting process of learning and growing. The school is committed to excellence in academics, athletics, and the arts, and is a culturally inclusive and caring community. Grounded in tradition and open to innovation, Grace has a long history of incorporating best practices into its pedagogy and educational programs to create a dynamic and challenging experience for its students. Deeply embedded within the DNA of the school is a fundamental belief that all members of the Grace community participate toward the greater good. As one teacher said, “What I love most about this school is that every member of the community subscribes to the idea that we’re all important contributors. If you’re affiliated with Grace, you know that you’re cared for, and you care for others in return.” CARNEYSANDOE.COM 2 Fast Facts Founded: 1894 Current enrollment: 771 Students of color: 33% Students who receive financial aid: 28% Student-faculty ratio: 5:1 Total faculty: 142 Faculty of color: 30% Faculty with advanced degrees: 75% Endowment: $41M Long-time Head of School George P. Davison announced he will retire at the end of the 2021-22 school year. Mr. Davison will have served at Grace for 35 years, including 28 as Head of School. The school now seeks a new Head of School, effective July 2022. The next leader will serve as educational leader of the school, collaborating with the Board of Trustees, division heads, deans, team leaders, directors, and departments while working to embrace the next chapter in the school’s rich history. It will be important that the next leader fully embraces the school’s Episcopal tradition and mission, maintaining its reputation for excellence while leading the school into the future. SCHOOL HISTORY The school began in 1894 as New York City’s first choir boarding school with an enrollment of 16 boys. In the 1930s, the school opened its doors to neighborhood boys who were not choristers. And in 1947, Grace became coeducational, enrolling boys and girls representing various religious faiths, and becoming a member of the Guild of Independent Schools of New York City. The school began to expand its facilities in the 1970s to accommodate a growing student body, an expansion that has continued into the 21st century. In 2006, the school legally separated from Grace Church, purchasing the buildings that it occupies and executing a long-term ground lease with the Church. In September 2012, Grace’s High School Division opened its doors at 46 Cooper Square to the inaugural ninth grade class, graduating the first class of seniors in May 2016. CARNEYSANDOE.COM 3 SCHOOL VALUES Since its founding, Grace Church School has integrated an ethical sensibility into its academic program by addressing the moral, personal, and spiritual development of students alongside their intellectual growth. The qualities that make Grace Church School special are evident in every classroom and activity: students take pleasure in learning, and there is a seriousness of purpose combined with an abiding respect for others. The Episcopal school tradition recognizes the unique, intrinsic worth of every person. In this spirit, Grace welcomes families of all religions or no religion at all. Grace seeks out a rich diversity of students, families, faculty, and staff, and strives to instill in its students a deep respect for differences in race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, socioeconomic status, ethnicity, and culture. In practice, the school’s Episcopal identity is expressed in four key areas of school life: 1) equity, inclusion, and social justice; 2) service learning; 3) chapel and the school Chaplain; and 4) religion and ethics. The school believes that antiracism, equity, and belonging are not only the hallmarks of a just society, but also virtues essential to an ethical education. To this end, Grace is intentionally inclusive. A reverence for the dignity of each individual informs all aspects of school life. The school’s efforts in these areas are supported by a variety of groups, including the Institutional Culture Committee (which provides oversight at the Board level), the Office of Community Engagement (Dean of Equity and Inclusion, Deans of Student Life and Community Life, and Divisional Faculty Liaisons), and the Diversity Council (parents, faculty, staff, administrators, and trustees). The school’s programs include alliance and affinity groups, Safe Space Advocates specially trained to support students, extensive professional development for faculty, special events, a book club, discussion groups for parents, and additional resources. CARNEYSANDOE.COM 4 ACADEMICS Grace has a long tradition of high academic expectations. The curriculum is designed to impart consistent values across the divisions while providing developmentally appropriate opportunities and subject matter to each student. The school seeks traditional outcomes while encouraging teachers to use innovative practices to best serve each student. The Pedagogy of Joy—a commitment to each student that they feel safe, connected, have a sense of fulfillment, and that they develop a positive self-concept—is the driving spirit of teaching at Grace. Students at Grace develop an active ethical consciousness, which pushes their learning from the classroom to the school community and beyond. Early Childhood The educational experience in Junior Kindergarten, Kindergarten, and Grade 1 fosters the foundation of ethics and goodness. Grace’s goal is to instill a joy of learning and an appreciation for the ideas and feelings of others. The classrooms offer a safe, language-rich environment where children learn through play and experience. Creativity is nurtured, friendships are strengthened, new learning opportunities are explored, and individual—as well as group—accomplishments are celebrated. Lower School In Grades 2 through 4, students begin to develop a true love of learning as they assume more responsibility and become engaged and independent thinkers. Grace offers a rich elementary school experience with a wide-ranging approach to academics. Cognizant of the many learning styles students bring to the classroom, lessons intertwine a variety of multi-sensory teaching approaches to foster thinking and learning in varied ways. Children are encouraged to take risks as they learn and progress, thus reinforcing the value of mistakes in enriching the learning process.

This thesis examines the development from the novel perspective of medievalism—the study of the Middle Ages as an imaginative construct in western society after their actual demise. It offers a selection of the best known neo-Gothic artifacts in the city, describes the technological innovations which distinguish them from the medievalist architecture of the nineteenth century, and shows the motivation for their creation. The significance of the California Arts and Crafts movement is explained, and profiles are offered of the two leading medievalist architects of the period, Bernard Maybeck and Julia Morgan.
