  • December, 2017 Dear Marvelwood Families, Marvelwood Is a Member
    December, 2017 Dear Marvelwood Families, Marvelwood is a member of Round Square, a worldwide network of 168 schools in 40 countries, all of ​ ​ ​ whom share a holistic approach to learning, built around six IDEALS (internationalism, democracy, environmentalism, adventure, leadership and service). Each year, Round Square schools send a team of delegates to an international conference. In 2016, four Marvelwood students- Guy Kennedy ‘18, Zohra Moradi ‘18, Sky Trapella ‘18 and Victoria Sanchez ‘18- attended the 2016 conference at Aiglon College in Switzerland. The theme of the conference, The Journey That Makes Us, highlighted the IDEALS through ​ ​ guest speakers, group discussions, cultural visits, community service and adventure activities. In 2017, two ​ student delegates- Belle Cameron ‘18 and Alex Sanchez ‘19- represented Marvelwood at the conference in South Africa, where the theme was Unite to Ignite the Fire Within. Both conferences were incredible ​ ​ experiences for our delegates, who represented our school with pride, maturity, and curiosity. The 2018 conference is being hosted by three Round Square schools in Canada: Lower Canada College, Appleby College, and Ashbury College. We have been assigned to Ashbury College in Ottawa. The ​ ​ tentative dates for the trip are September 26-October 3. The the all-inclusive cost will be approximately ​ $1,900 per student; some scholarship is available. Interested students will be asked to fill out an application and sit for an interview in January. Students who applied last year need only sit for an interview. Please let me know if you would like your child to apply. Any student who will be age 16-19 in 2018 is eligible.
