在我写这份年度报告的时候, my third as the Chair of the 校董会, I reflect on the many challenges of the past year for the school, 对家庭来说, 为了全世界. 推荐几个靠谱的买球网站 has navigated the Covid pandemic with skill, 努力工作, 创造力和, 结果是, 我们发现学校很健康, 充满活力的, and growing state at the start of the 2021-2022 school year. 校园看起来很美, the students are enthusiastic and engaged, and the staff and 教师 are embracing the opportunities of face-to-face teaching once again. This provides a wonderful backdrop to my comments.
The 推荐几个靠谱的买球网站 教师 and staff, 在校长汤姆的领导下, rose splendidly to the challenges presented by the pandemic. Teaching both remotely and with variable in-person attendance throughout the 2020-21 school year, Solebury continued to provide not only a first-rate education but also a myriad of opportunities for the students to meet, 交互, 创作艺术和音乐, 开发技能, 祝你有一个丰富而有回报的一年. The college placements this year reflect this achievement, with our students gaining more acceptances than ever at competitive schools.
This has culminated in the best new enrollment ever for the school. 目前, we have 242 students enrolled in our four years of high school, and we are well on the path to our strategic goal of growing our boarding community, with nearly 100 boarding students enrolled for this year. 我们的战略计划, 董事会于2016年批准, has seven goals including growing our enrollment to 300 by 2030. Given the challenges of discontinuing our Middle School program three years ago, and reduced international applications for the 2021-22 school year as we emerge from the pandemic, our achievements are rather impressive.
推荐几个靠谱的买球网站 is entering a new phase in its long and storied life, and I am really excited to be part of this next chapter. As you will see detailed in this report, the support we receive from our engaged community is impressive and I thank all of you for your efforts on Solebury’s behalf.
As always, I must recognize my fellow Board members for their commitment to the school. 过去的一年, 特别是, has seen a heavy workload on many of our committees involved in the planning and execution of the first stage of our master plan. The years ahead are bright ones for Solebury.
我以个人的观点来结束我的演讲, in August we celebrated the start of another chapter for my Solebury alumni son, 克里斯11, who married his wonderful life partner, 杰斯, in a beautiful outdoor ceremony in Maine. I am always interested in receiving your comments and ideas, so please feel free to contact me at ewavle@studioarchetipo.com.
