    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.

AUHSD | 2021-2022 Health and Safety Plan AUHSD GOVERNING BOARD Christopher Severson, President Message from the Superintendent Kristin Connelly, Clerk Christopher Grove Bob Hockett Nancy Kendzierski August 2021 Student Member: Dear Acalanes Union High School Community, Isabelle Bennette We have all felt the prolonged hardship of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our experiences differ, but your sacrifices for community, family and personal safety and wellbeing have undoubtedly been significant. We know that the disruption to regular on-campus instructional and extracurricular programs last year has brought additional challenges to many. And we know that students benefit from in-person learning, and safely returning to in-person instruction must be a priority. The foundational principle to our 2021-2022 planning has been to provide access to safe and full in- person instruction to all students. Throughout our planning process, we have been following the requirements and considering the recommendations and general guidance of the California Department of Public Health, reviewing the general advisory guidance of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, and following the local orders of Contra Costa Health Services.

    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.

  • 2012 ED Green Ribbon School: the Athenian School, Danville, California
    25 February 2012 To: Ron Reynolds, California Association of Private School Organizations (CAPSO), and Kathleen Moore, California Department of Education From: Paul Chapman for the CAPSO-GRS Selection Committee Re: Nomination of the California Green Ribbon School (GRS) Private School for 2012 I am writing to tell you that the Selection Committee designated by CAPSO recommends that the Athenian School in Danville, CA be presented by the California Department of Education to the U.S. Department of Education as the private school nominee as part of the pilot Green Ribbon School (GRS) program. This memo explains our process and rationale for the recommendation. The selection team included: Paul Chapman, former Head of School of Head-Royce School and currently Executive Director of Inverness Associates; Peter Esty, former Head of School of San Francisco University High School, Branson School and the Marin School; Deborah Moore, Executive Director of the Green Schools Initiative; and Pauline Souza, LEED-accredited Architect, Partner and Director of Sustainability at WRNS Studio, and Northern California Chair of the US Green Building Council’s Green Schools Committee. Deborah Moore and Paul Chapman participated in the stakeholders meeting to develop the CA application and the subsequent webinar, and Paul Chapman attended the training for GRS at CDE on February 23. Subsequently, the Selection Committee met at length on February 23 and 24, in person and by conference call, to consider the eight private school applicants. The SC reviewed the criteria, assigned two members to evaluate each of the applications, recorded the data, assessed variances in member ratings, and prepared a final average score for each school.

  • December 2012 Leder
    Herlufsholm Skole · december 2012 Leder Med de tre nye undervisningslokaler til Fysikum, der er ved at blive bygget og som står færdige til indvielse her i foråret kommer Herlufsholm Skole til at stå meget stærkt med hensyn til sciencefag. Halvejsresultatet kan ses på forsiden af dette blad. Og der er dermed også taget hul på den sidste fase af den ret store udbygningsplan som vi tog de første skridt til i begyndelsen af dette århundrede med udarbejdelsen af en helhedsplan, opførelsen af den flotte Sportshal Trollehallen, omlægningen af skolens kloaker og ledninger, den nye kostafdeling; Bodilgården og på det miljømæssige område med etableringen af det store flis fyr (bkv-anlæg), som snart er fuldstændig klar til at blive indfaset. Vores store satsning med et nyt skolehus på Røde Plads har vi imidlertid måtte skrin- lægge (planerne blev åbenbaret i sidste nummer af Kontakt) pga. manglende ekstern finansiering. Men som med Danmarks nederlag i 1864, hvor et af bon mot’erne blev udtrykt af Enrico Dalgas, der på Det danske Hedeselskabs vegne udtrykte ”Hvad ud af tabes, skal indad vindes” er vi også begyndt at tænke sådan. Skolens ledelse har forelagt en ombygningsplan af Helenhallen til undervisningslokaler, indretning af læringscentre, studiemiljøer og ikke mindst et stort studietorv, en agora for eleverne. Helenhallen vil fortsat med den plan der foreligger (etablering af vinger) kunne anvendes til koncerter, teater og rum til fester og eksamen. Med en plan samles en meget stor del af gymnasiets undervisning omkring Agoraen, og hele denne konstruktion er væsentlig billigere både i opførelse og i drift end et nybyggeri.
