  • An Open Letter on Behalf of Independent Schools of New England
    An Open Letter on Behalf of Independent Schools of New England, We, the heads of independent schools, comprising 176 schools in the New England region, stand in solidarity with our students and with the families of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. The heart of our nation has been broken yet again by another mass shooting at an American school. We offer our deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of those who died and are grieving for the loss of life that occurred. We join with our colleagues in public, private, charter, independent, and faith-based schools demanding meaningful action to keep our students safe from gun violence on campuses and beyond. Many of our students, graduates, and families have joined the effort to ensure that this issue stays at the forefront of the national dialogue. We are all inspired by the students who have raised their voices to demand change. As school leaders we give our voices to this call for action. We come together out of compassion, responsibility, and our commitment to educate our children free of fear and violence. As school leaders, we pledge to do all in our power to keep our students safe. We call upon all elected representatives - each member of Congress, the President, and all others in positions of power at the governmental and private-sector level – to take action in making schools less vulnerable to violence, including sensible regulation of fi rearms. We are adding our voices to this dialogue as a demonstration to our students of our own commitment to doing better, to making their world safer.

    PARENT HANDBOOK 2019-2020 2020-2021 107 Marlborough Street Boston, Massachusetts 02116 tel 617-266-8427 fax 617-266-3453 [email protected] www.learningproject.org Disclaimer The Learning Project Parent Handbook is published and distributed to members of the Learning Project community for the purpose of providing information on aspects of student and school life so that students may gain as much as possible from their experience with us. Students, parents, faculty, and staff should all read and be familiar with the contents of the Handbook, so that each member of the community knows and understands our community expectations. While policies in this Handbook will generally apply, the School may take actions that it determines to be in the best interests of the School, its faculty, and its students. This Handbook does not limit the authority of the School to alter, interpret, and implement its rules, policies, and procedures, before, during, and after the school year. This Handbook is for informational purposes only. It is not intended to create, nor does it create, a contract in any way between The Learning Project and any parent, guardian, or student affiliated with or attending the School. Learning Project may, in its sole discretion, add, revise, and/or delete School policies before, during, and after the school year. A Word About the Word “Parent” Many of our communications over the year, like this one, use the word “parent” as shorthand to describe a person who is involved in a special way in the lives of our school children. The huge variety of important adult relationships and family structures that exist in our society, and which we intend to recognize and honor in our school, are not easily captured in a single word.

  • Brookwood School Manchester-By-The-Sea, Ma Head Of
    BROOKWOOD SCHOOL MANCHESTER-BY-THE-SEA, MA HEAD OF SCHOOL START DATE: JULY 1, 2021 WWW.BROOKWOOD.EDU Mission Brookwood is a warm, child-centered community of exuberant learners with an extraordinary commitment to both the development of the mind and the development of the self. Through a purposeful balance of challenge, encouragement, and opportunity for appropriate risk-taking, the school fosters lifelong habits of inquiry, critical thinking, creativity and scholarship, just as it instills a healthy sense of self, a flexible mindset and a deep respect for the dignity of others. Ultimately, Brookwood strives to graduate academically accomplished individuals of conscience, character, compassion and cultural competence. OVERVIEW Brookwood School, founded in 1956, is an Early Childhood through Grade 8, coeducational, independent school located on a beautiful 30-acre campus in Manchester-by-the-Sea, Massachusetts, on the rocky coast north of Boston. Led by an exceptional faculty, the school offers a student-centered, academically engaging and varied program that nurtures and challenges students to reach their fullest potential. Brookwood understands that preparing students for the world in which we live today is a task entirely unlike that which educators faced even a decade ago. Along with the acquisition of knowledge, students need analytical and social-emotional skills in order to deconstruct the complexity of their lives and the evolving culture. To this end, the school supports learning in four dimensions: skill mastery and deep knowledge; kindness, caring, and empathy; leadership and change-making; and creativity. This balanced, personalized approach, along with the belief that a community is strongest when comprised of individuals with diverse backgrounds, experiences, and points of view, prepares students for success in high school and beyond.
