    THE ATHENIAN SCHOOL Dean of Experiential Education

    THE ATHENIAN SCHOOL Dean of Experiential Education SUMMARY Location | Danville, CA Post Date | January 7, 2021 Application Deadline | February 5, 2021 at 5:00pm PST Semifinal Round | Week of February 16 Final Round | Week of March 1 Decision Announced | March 19, 2021 Start Date | July 1, 2021 Reports To | Assistant Head of School The Athenian School | Dean of Experiential Education SUMMARY Internationalism. Democracy. Environmentalism. Adventure. Leadership. Service. These are the pillars of Round Square, an international network of 200+ schools in 50+ countries that The Athenian School co-founded. Athenian, a grades 6-12 day and boarding independent school located on 75 acres near the rolling East Bay hills of the San Francisco Bay Area, has been living out its mission of experiential learning as a Round Square school since 1966. These six core values are also the pillars of a new role at Athenian: dean of experiential education. The “Pillar Dean,” as this role is affectionately known at Athenian, will be charged with coordinating several all-school experiential learning programs, but more importantly with bringing those experiential principles of learning-by-doing to the core curriculum. Thus, the dean of experiential education will serve as a critical bridge and mentor to middle and upper school faculty. The Pillar Dean, a 12-month role that reports to the assistant head of school / middle school head, starts July 1, 2021. THREE STRATEGIC PRIORITIES AT ATHENIAN 1. PROGRAM Athenian will lead the school world in creating the next generation of rigorous, project- based, experiential, and interdisciplinary curricula to deliver the knowledge and skills that students need to both succeed in an information economy and make a meaningful contribution in the world.

  • A Closer Look at Appleby College

    A Closer Look at Appleby College

    A Closer Look at Appleby College PLANT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE Appleby College opened in 1911, thanks to the vision and generosity of our Founders Sir Edmund Walker and his son-in-law John Guest. Sir Edmund was a leading Canadian businessman and philanthropist who was passionate about education. Today’s Appleby College was shaped by his commitment to having a school that could make a great impact on society through its students. It was through his philanthropy that the initial 32-acre farm was purchased and the original School House (now Colley House) was built. The school has never stopped evolving. Since the gift of the original farm we have added a chapel, classrooms, boarding houses, and sports facilities. The land area of the campus has expanded through a number of acquisitions and in 1973 we were given land in Temagami. The Appleby College you see today is a testament to the generosity of our Founders, and to the generosity of generations of parents and alumni. A Closer Look at Appleby College We find many of our alumni, families and friends have questions about the structure and finances of Appleby College. This document seeks to answer some of these questions: WHO OWNS APPLEBY COLLEGE? Appleby College is not owned by any individual or entity. Appleby was incorporated in 1911 as a not-for-profit organization by an Act of the Province of Ontario and is a registered charitable organization. Appleby is governed by a volunteer Board composed of alumni, current and past parents and business and community leaders. Our Governors ensure that Appleby remains focused on its mission.

    Head of House – Senior Boys Boarding

    Position Description Head of House – Senior Boys Boarding The School The Armidale School (TAS) is an Anglican co-educational boarding and day school with a Junior School (Transition to Year 5), Middle School (Years 6-8) and Senior School (Years 9-12). The School has an enrolment of around 650 students, including over 250 boarders. TAS values and actively pursues individual academic performance and effort, but a TAS education is a comprehensive one, presenting every student with the experiences that create character and resilience, promote creativity, initiative and leadership and prepare them for life. We are proud of our history and traditions and membership of the AAGPS, yet at the same time we are liberal and progressive. TAS staff are intrinsically involved in all aspects of the co-curricular program, allowing them to build greater understanding and rapport with each student. Boarding at TAS Throughout the history of the School, boarding has been central to the identity and success of the School as a whole and this remains the case today. Our 250 boarders comprise approximately half the secondary school population and many elements of school life are organised to support our boarding community. Boarders reside in 6 separate boarding houses, all on campus and a short walk to teaching areas. Boy boarders in Years 6, 7 and 8 are accommodated in the Middle School House, White. In Year 9, boarders move into one of the three senior houses, Abbott, Croft and Tyrrell. The Residence for the Head of House is provided on or nearby the campus. Girl boarders reside in two separate houses, one for Middle School girls and the other for senior girls (Yrs 9-12).

    Outcomes Following Global Connections V

    Outcomes following Global Connections V Garth Grierson, Principal of Maru-a-Pula in Botswana advises: "It is likely that Maru-a-Pula will be able to offer a scholarship to Hotchkiss through Skip Mattoon, have links for Mawana for Aiglon College in Switzerland and L'Ermitage in France. L'Ermitage might also be able to link up with MaP French Dept. for enrichment and development." Fr. Edmund Mallya of Loyola High School in Tanzania advises that as a result of GC V, they have begun an environmental group at Loyola. Paul Geise of Pine Point (CT, USA) will be sending the middle school director to Starehe to begin the process of building a student leadership model such as theirs at Pine Point. O. Hoagland Keep of Eaglebrook School (MA, USA) is to conduct an all-school lecture on Starehe, host school for GC V, during the 2001-2002 school year. O. Hoagland Keep of Eaglebrook School (MA, USA) will sponsor a student to Maseno School in Maseno, Kenya, for the 2002-2003 school year and is challenging his Student Council to do the same. Alan Patterson, Mowbray College, Australia, has commenced a staff-to-staff communication with Paul Otula at Maseno School, Kenya. Robert LennoX, Headmaster of Warwick Academy, Bermuda, presented to his staff about the lessons of Starehe, helping to turn the traditional academic school into a more "participative, inviting one." He addressed an assembly of his students on 10 September, 2001 about the experiences of the Seminar at Starehe Boys' Centre and School. Mr. LennoX and his wife (Warwick Academy, Bermuda) shall assist the young man from Starehe Boys' Centre and School, Kenya, who became their school guide and are persuading Warwick Academy's 'Leo' club to do the same.
