School Sports vs. Sports School
As the winter athletic season comes to a close and the spring season is set to begin, I’ve been thinking a lot about sports and how proud I am of our athletic culture. bbin娱乐平台 is not a “sports school” according to the conventional meaning of that phrase in New England independent schools. This is not a place students and families choose because our teams will face elite competition and be visited by scouts. We offer a limited menu of two or three interscholastic sports per season, competing against similar-sized schools in the sports our kids are most excited about. As our long-serving athletic director, Mr. Stone, likes to quip, our football team remains undefeated since the school’s founding – because we have never had one. And I wouldn’t change a thing. What we have is precious and increasingly unusual. There is a vibrant and healthy sports culture characterized by joining. Students... More
Celebrating our Cultures – Together
This morning, we were all greeted in the lobby by students in the Middle Eastern and North African Student Association, who had brought dates, figs, and other treats for the community in celebration and anticipation of Ramadan, which begins next Friday. Last week, students from the Black Student Union hosted a fun, cookout-themed evening event, which was open to the whole community and featured personal testimonials by students and some excellent food. In the same week, the Jewish Students Organization organized a beautiful Tu Bishvat seder – an important moment for sharing and connection. All of this was fresh off some lovely and well attended cultural events through the fall and early winter: a Lunar New Year celebration sponsored by the East Asian Students Association, where the gym was filled with a delicious buffet, games, and good cheer; a school-wide breakfast hosted by the Latin American Student Association; a garba...

What You Do, Not Where You Go
I was talking with a bbin娱乐平台 alumnus who is now well established in his career in the world of finance. We spent some time talking about hiring and the market for talent. At one point, he shared that his firm used to hire almost exclusively from the most highly selective colleges and universities in the country through on-campus recruiting programs. His firm stopped that practice recently. When I asked why, he explained that in part it was because they had been missing out on so many really strong applicants at the top of their classes at colleges outside that rarified set of schools, and that some of those applicants have turned out to be the rising stars at the firm. A look at the wide range of colleges that America’s top CEOs attended seems to confirm our alum’s observation. Of course the country’s most selective institutions have a lot to offer... More

Last fall, siblings Mira Chu-Shore '25 and Tai Chu-Shore '26 presented at the annual Biomedical Engineering Society conference in Baltimore, MD, as part of the conference's two-hour poster session for high school students.
