Students and Families,
Welcome to the 2024-25 school year! With the school year beginning on Monday, August 19, we have some important announcements and exciting events leading up to the first day, which you can learn more about below. We also want to shoutout our fantastic new faculty members, a brilliant group of educators with a wide range of skills both inside and out the classroom. If you missed it last week, you can read their bios here.
As we countdown the final days of summer, our Associate Head of School Dr. Roy Danovitch has a brief welcome video for you below. We're looking forward to seeing you soon!

Dear Freshman and Transfer Students,
We are so excited to welcome you to New Student Orientation on Friday, August 16, from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM. You’ll get the chance to meet our faculty, review your schedules, bond with the Seniors, and learn more about our program: academics, student life, athletics, technology, experiential travel, clubs, and more. Most of all, you’ll get to connect with classmates, ask questions, and get ready to start the year off right.
All you need to bring is your computer. Also – lunch is served at 12 PM, as we know you’ll be hungry.
