Special Screening of Alumnus' Film in Columbus |
“Stargazer” – a film written and produced by Rob Ackerman ’76 – will make its Ohio debut at noon on Sunday, April 30, at the Drexel Theatre in Bexley. The movie tells the story of Cecilia Payne, a forgotten genius of science, and has already won multiple awards including Best Feature at the Berkeley Springs Film Festival. According to Rob (far left in photo): “My Academy classmate Henry Hauser ’76 and his kids Willy ’11 and Sally were essential to the production. And our lead Matt Bogart is a fellow Buckeye who graduated from Cincinnati Conservatory and went on to become a Broadway star in Jersey Boys.” To learn more, click here.

Over 200 Academy students and families in grades 4-8 attended Math Night in our dining hall in celebration of Pi Day on March 14. Organized by Math Department Chair Katie Castle and Upper School Math Curriculum Coordinator Emily Dennett, Ph.D., students made their way around to interactive stations where they explored with math art, played problem-solving games and even enjoyed a slice of pie (view photos). And that morning, students were featured on 10TV.

Our annual Wax Museum reached its 25th year last month as third-graders portrayed historical figures for families and other students of all ages. The project begins with students choosing a biography from the library and then writing an essay about that person. Then they create a poster with highlights from that famous person’s life. It all culminates in third-graders dressing and acting as that person, coming to life when someone presses a “button” on their poster (watch video recap).
