Coming to Boston for PoCC/SDLC is historically significant as NAIS originated at offices near Faneuil Hall on Tremont Street. The rich density of inde- pendent schools in and around Boston, many with historic commitments to and success in building and sustaining inclu- sive school communities, makes bringing the conferences to South Boston ideal, particularly as this part of the city under- goes revitalization while PoCC has undergone a redesign. The new approach to PoCC is actually a return to its original purpose, providing people of color in our schools a sanctuary and a “voice,” a means for support and networking, and a chance to celebrate their roles in independent schools.

  • Private Schools
    ADVERTISEMENT private schools Finding the Perfect Fit iven the scores of private school options available in the greater Washington area, it’s little wonder that the G prospect of choosing the right institution for your child can seem daunting. Still, while it is hardly as simple as A-B-C, most of the area’s top experts in the private school arena seem to agree on strategies for parents suff ering from the paradox of choice. ADVERTISEMENT private schools The decision of where a child goes to school is one of most important ones a parent must make. So, the experts advise parents to take their time, research comprehensively, and visit as many schools as possible. But before hitting the books, so to speak, the fi rst thing to do is to study your child. Knowing what motivates him, knowing her learning style, understanding his personality type — all will help in the eff ort to find the perfect match. Ron Goldblatt, executive director of the Association of Independent Maryland & D.C. Schools (AIMS), suggests taking an inventory of your child. “If they are younger, can they sit still? Do they need higher levels of supervision? How confi dent are they? What is their temperament? Is behavior altered through adherence to rules or by having meaningful conversation?” The second part of the analysis is deciding which traits you want to nurture in your child. If community service is important, look for a school that requires volunteer work. If a child is highly creative, look for a program that teaches outside the box.
