Professional Development
is Strong
Last year’s healthy increase to profes- sional development will continue in the coming year. Faculty have asked for opportunities to keep abreast of current research in education as well as in their subject fields. Our faculty already brings a high level of expertise to teach- ing. Seventy percent hold advanced degrees, five hold doctorates, many share special knowledge in co-curricu- lar activities, many coach sports, and all demonstrate unparalleled commit- ment to their teaching.
Special Improvements To
Facilities
New structural engineering put a firmer (temporal) founda- tion under the Priory Chapel. Three new classrooms with adjacent landscaping will soon be beside Red Square. The Assembly Hall is now wired for theater lighting and has new blinds and drapes. Renovations are complete at the Monastery and the headmaster’s house; the boys gym renovations are under way. Major and critical plumbing repairs are complete. Other improvements include lots of recycling containers, classroom and residence hall furniture, and paint everywhere, says Jan Hepper, facilities manager
