A Note From the Head of School:
A Joyful Night of Discovery
(Excerpt from the speech given last night)
It takes parents, teachers, and students to come together to optimize a student’s growth, nurture their spirit and embrace their talents. The mission of our school is to help your child optimize their potential in a dynamic learning environment.
Mark Johns stated,” Reach as high as you can and then reach a little higher. There you will find magic and possibility.” We have 26 years of experience that clearly demonstrates that when children are given the tools they need to best access their learning, they can meet and exceed our expectations. Doors begin to open for the next chapters in their lives.
Our theme this year is Radcliffe Radiance. One of my goals is to change people’s mindsets about non-traditional learners. There is no question that our children will help us change the world. If we have another pandemic in our lifetime, these are the thinkers who will get us through it. They see details that most of us miss, they have vivid and creative imaginations, and they think outside the box. Radcliffe students easily pick up skills in technology and design. Our approach teaches them to be goal setters. Finally, just as important, they are some of the kindest, most compassionate children you could ever hope to meet.
Our students are exceptional. When given the tools they need to grow, they radiate joy, confidence, and competence that are not only of great benefit to themselves, the people who love them, but the greater community.
At Radcliffe, we go the extra step, we teach kids not only how to overcome challenges, but to use their gifts to be more and do more. Our goal as parents and educators is then helping the child harness those strengths so your child has the confidence to stretch a little higher, push themselves by taking risks, and appreciate the learning process just as much as the outcome. We polish the gems that they are, allowing each child to shine in their own way.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend,
Head of School
