Dear High School families,

We hope that you were able to enjoy important moments with family and friends over the last few weeks. It's important for our boys to take this time to rest and relax so that they can properly recharge. But, we also want the boys to set goals so that they can be prepared for the upcoming school year and continue to grow and explore their passions. Summer “down time” can feel even more rewarding when it is balanced by meaningful accomplishments. 

So, while we have no interest in moving summer along any more quickly than it is already moving, we also recognize the need to continue with planning and preparation (please forgive this injection of reality!).  
 
After receiving the list of your son’s academic courses through our June mailing, we wanted to pass along further information that you will need to help him continue to get ready for school! Those updates can be found below this letter.

We are excited to begin  and  continue our important work with you and your family. As always, please do not hesitate to be in touch with any concerns or questions. If you would like a refresher on how questions should be directed within our team, you can watch a replay of our June Orientation  here .   
 
Take good care, be safe, and stay healthy!  
 
All the best, 
 

Mr. Andrew O'Brien 
Principal/Assistant Head of School
