Members of the senior class '25, Mira Zhang and Amitees Fazeli, greet the kindergarten class with a friendly fist bump.

As we embark on another exciting school year, we’re thrilled to welcome our students, staff, and families back to campus! This year's festivities kicked off with our annual back-to-school picnic and handshake ceremony, fostering a sense of community as we embrace another year of learning and growth.

In his address to the school, Head of School Jim Foley shared an important message:

“We often think that school is all about the ‘stuff’ we learn, but it’s really about the people we learn with. It’s the process of learning together that makes school—and learning—so enjoyable.”



To relive the excitement of our first day, check out additional pictures HERE.
