介绍:
What we’re trying to accomplish here is to be absolutely excellent in the classic ways of academics, of sports, of arts, of community engagement – all of those things – while also really focusing on the young person in their wholeness and to make sure that we encourage kids to have wellness as central to their experience.
To make sure they’re getting sleep, to make sure that they’re eating well, to make sure they’re exercising. All of those things I think go together with this idea of excellence. And I think that that combination of things is working really well right now.
We don’t post grade point averages. We try to take some very specific steps not to elevate competition in those ways. We do a lot of collaborative work in classes, we do a lot of collaborative work on teams, we do a lot of collaborative work outside – and we do, (in terms of our leadership positions for students, there are many positions where there’s actually co-presidents or there are co-leaders) to send a clear message to our kids – collaboration is a skill that you’re going to need to develop well in order to be able to move forward here with success.
Mental health here is one of the most important things on campus, because the only way for you to show your affection for someone to love someone else, to build connections and build bonds, is to firstly love yourself.
在这里我们要做到的是在学术，体育，艺术，社区参与这些经典的方面上要绝对优秀——所有这些事情——同时也关注年轻人的全面发展，并且我们会鼓励孩子们，确保无论他们做什么都要把健康作为核心。
确保他们能睡好，确保他们能吃得好，确保他们的锻炼。我认为所有这些都符合优秀的理念。我认为这种组合现在运行得很好。我们不公布成绩的平均积分点。我们会采取一些非常具体的措施，不去提升这些方面的竞争。我们在课堂上做很多协作工作，我们在团队中，在校外也做很多协作工作——（就我校学生们的领导职位而言，也是这样做的。有很多职位都是共同领导的，或者有共同领导人），以此向孩子们传达一个明确的信息——合作是一项你需要发展的技能，以便能够在这里取得成功。
在这心理健康是校园里最重要的事情之一，因为你要表达你对某人的爱意，要建立联系和纽带，唯一的方法就是先爱你自己。
