Head of School Opportunity Shrewsbury Montessori School Shrewsbury, Massachusetts Head of School Opportunity Shrewsbury Montessori School Shrewsbury, Massachusetts Since 1972, Shrewsbury Montessori School has provided students with a high-quality education based on the teachings of Dr. Maria Montessori, the founder of the Montessori philosophy of education, who understood that all children are born with unique strengths and challenges, and learn best when their education is individualized and fosters their intrinsic desire to learn. Shrewsbury Montessori School (SMS) offers nearly 170 children from age three through grade six a multifaceted education that fosters academic excellence, self-reliance, and independence. The program is overseen by a caring and dedicated faculty with an average tenure of more than 10 years. Situated on three campuses, Worcester, Auburn and the main campus in Shrewsbury, SMS takes full advantage of its spectacular setting. In keeping with the Montessori commitment to experiential learning, the SMS experience also includes myriad opportunities to engage with the local and global communities through travel, service learning, and mentorship/internship programs. In the past five years, SMS opened the third campus in Worcester, purchased a new property in Shrewsbury, participated in a research program with the Boston College Language Learning Lab, partnered with a new Montessori school in Shanghai, China, and established an annual trip to the Island School for sixth-year students. The school has also secured dual accreditation from the Association of Independent Schools in New England and the American Montessori Society, and the Board adopted a comprehensive strategic plan that will guide the school through 2021. For a position to begin in July 2020, SMS is seeking a dynamic, forward-thinking educator with a genuine love of children and a commitment to the Montessori philosophy. An intimate school with a clear mission and a strong academic program, SMS is a fantastic place for a hands-on leader with the energy, creativity, and compassion to help the school continue its growth and development.

The seasoned and dedicated faculty oversee a remarkably varied educational program solidly grounded in Montessori principles and enriched by frequent forays into the world beyond the school. Since the school’s beginnings, a supportive and engaged parent community has contributed mightily to SMS’s success. The school recently established a volunteer structure with teams dedicated to supporting various administrative and academic areas of the school, including, fundraising, family education, staff appreciation, gardening, admissions, and classroom support. SMS students are curious, engaged, lifelong learners who are increasingly self-aware and confident in their ability to meet life’s challenges as they move through the program. Not surprisingly, these poised young people are welcomed at all of the area’s secondary schools, including both public schools and independent schools such as Bancroft School, Fay School, Worcester Academy, Commonwealth School, and the Advanced Math and Science Academy Charter School. 3 FACULTY, ADMINISTRATION, AND THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES The passionate and experienced SMS faculty lies at the heart of the school’s success. With an average tenure of more than 10 years, they are afforded a great deal of autonomy and report high levels of job satisfaction. Each of the Children’s House classrooms in Auburn and Worcester is led by a team of two – a teacher and an assistant teacher. On the Shrewsbury campus, six faculty teach in the Children’s House, four in the Lower Elementary program, and four in the Upper Elementary Program. The school’s co- curricular faculty include a librarian, a content support teacher, and dedicated faculty in the areas of art, technology, French and Latin, and music. All classroom teachers in the Children’s House and Elementary programs hold Montessori credentials. The administrative team at SMS comprises the Director of Admissions, Director of Finance, Director of Advancement, Marketing/Communication Coordinator, and the Head of School. In addition, there are two part-time nurses and a receptionist. The 14-member Board of Trustees is an energetic and supportive group, made up of current parents, alumni parents, and those that love our school. HISTORY, LOCATION, AND FACILITIES Shrewsbury Montessori School was founded in 1972 by Mrs. Nancy Corkum, who opened the school with five children in Dudley, Massachusetts. The school expanded to Auburn in 1976 with the purchase of a log cabin classroom and then to Shrewsbury by renting space in Mt. Olivet Church. The main campus building was bought in 1986. Over the years, the school has added multiple classrooms, an all-purpose room, and a media center/library. The school opened its Worcester campus in 2017. A proprietary institution for nearly three decades, SMS was led by Mrs. Corkum until her retirement in 2004, at which time a group of parents converted the school to a non-profit, 501(c)(3) corporation. SMS was accredited by the Association of Independent Schools of New England in 2013, and in 2015 the school received its American Montessori Society accreditation. In September 2019, SMS purchased the Mt. Olivet Church property. The school plans to renovate the property to create classrooms that will accommodate approximately 70 students. With a population of more than 180,000 residents – and growing – Worcester is a dynamic, livable city in a beautiful setting. Nicknamed The Heart of the Commonwealth, the city is less than an hour’s drive from Boston, Springfield, and Providence, Rhode Island. Worcester is the second most populous city in New England, and home to many colleges and universities, including, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Clark University, Becker College, Assumption College, Worcester State University, and College of the Holy Cross. The University of Massachusetts Memorial Health Care system and the UMass Medical School have helped anchor a nascent biotech

  • Massachusetts Grade 7 Immunization Survey Results 2013-2014
    Massachusetts Grade 7 Immunization Survey Results 2013‐2014 The Massachusetts Department of Public Health Immunization Program is pleased to make available the 2013‐2014 Massachusetts grade 7 immunization survey results by school. Please be aware that the data are limited in a number of ways, including those listed below. Data release standards do not allow for data to be shared for schools with fewer than 30 reported students in grade 7. Schools that reported fewer than 30 students in grade 7 are indicated (†). Not all schools return their survey. Schools without data due to non‐response are indicated (*). Data were collected in the fall, but immunization data are often updated throughout the year and rates (during the same school year) may be higher than reported due to additional children receiving immunizations or bringing records to school. Also, the student body is dynamic and as students arrive and leave school, the immunization rates are impacted. Children are allowed a medical or religious exemption to one or more vaccines. Children without the required number of doses of vaccine do not necessarily have an exemption on file. Children without a record of vaccination, but with serologic proof of immunity to certain diseases (measles, mumps, rubella, hepatitis b and varicella), meet school entry requirements, but may not be counted as vaccinated. All data are self‐reported by the schools and discrepancies may exist. The Immunization Program continues to work with schools to resolve discrepancies and update immunization data,

  • 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.

CHALLENGE CULTIVATE MINDS CHARACTER NURTURE SHAPE THE GROWTH FUTURE ENCOURAGE INSPIRE EXPLORATION LEADERSHIP STRENGTHEN SPARK COMMUNITIES CREATIVITY The 2012–13 year was memorable not only because NAIS named a new president, John Chubb, but because it launched Inspiration Lab, an online showcase for creativity at independent schools. Every day, independent schools pioneer new approaches to teaching and learning, delivering engaging educational experiences to their students and serving as labs of innovation for all schools. Throughout this annual report, we mention some of these stories, but you can find many more at www.inspirationlab.org. We hope you will continue to contribute your own stories. John Chubb has traveled across the nation to introduce himself and learn firsthand member interests and concerns. In a presidential transition, an organization has the opportunity to stretch and renew itself, reinforcing its identity and reenergizing for the future. Thanks to the input of our members, the support of our volunteers and funders, and the vision of a new president, NAIS stands ready to continue its mission of strengthening the independent school community and communicating its value to the public.
