At a school that deeply values iteration, process, and human-centered design, we enter this year eager to partner with our Founding Class students and families. We intend for students to play a central role in developing and upholding community agreements for how we behave and treat each other, and we’ve designed our schedule and calendar to allow that to happen. As we build the Mastery School of Hawken, we recognize this once in a generation opportunity to rethink high school from the ground up. In every aspect of the school, it is our intent to keep only the practices that are truly conducive to individual growth for each young person, and rethink the rest. With a keen awareness of the history of schools and their challenges in serving students well, we are deeply committed to building an inclusive culture where every student is known, heard, and valued and has the support to grow. In order for that growth to occur for each young person in a healthy way, schools and families need to work in partnership with mutual respect and understanding. We look forward to building and partnering with you throughout this first year. Julia Griffin Director of the Mastery School of Hawken 3 How We’ll Work Together Best Hawken School follows the National Association of Independent Schools' Principles of Good Practices as stated below. These guidelines and more can also be found at nais.org. Parents and independent schools work ​ ​ together to create and sustain effective partnerships. The following principles of good practice describe the respective roles and responsibilities of both partners. Parents Working with Schools 1. Parents recognize that effective partnerships are characterized by clearly defined responsibilities, a shared commitment to collaboration, open lines of communication, mutual respect, and a common vision of the goals to be reached 2. In selecting an independent school, parents seek an optimal match for the needs of the student, their own expectations, and the philosophy and programs of the school. 3. Parents are familiar with and support the school's policies and procedures. 4. Parents provide a home environment that supports the development of positive learning attitudes and habits. 5. Parents involve themselves in the life of the school. 6. Parents seek and value the school's perspective on the student. 7. When concerns arise, parents seek information directly from the school, consulting with those best able to address the concerns. 8. Parents share with the school any religious, cultural, medical, or personal information that the school may need to serve the student best. Schools Working with Parents 1.

    Early Childhood Preschool | Prekindergarten | Kindergarten Forward-focused preparation for the real world through the development of character and intellect 1 character I like Hawken School because it’s a happy place, and the teachers and kids are all nice. All the teachers and kids respect one another. Kindergarten Student 2 “The main purpose for which the school exists is the development of character.” James A. Hawken, Founder At Hawken, we not only teach children to be great students, we encourage them to be great people. Our Early Childhood program allows students to experience the joys of childhood while developing the foundational knowledge and habits of mind to support lifelong learning. We believe that laying the groundwork for your child to live a happy, meaningful life requires not just mastery of skills but character traits like curiosity, honesty, initiative, and resilience. That’s why our century-old motto of “Fair Play” permeates all that we do. It helps guide the thinking, speaking, and actions of every member of our community and creates responsible, empathetic citizens. “Instilling in students the skills they need to become successful adults is a top priority at Hawken. But we believe that who students become is just as important as what they become. We intentionally create our innovative programming and our community culture of inclusiveness in ways that inspire our students to go out and be good people who do good things in the world.” D.
