校长的欢迎

如果你正在读这封信, chances are you are a prospective parent wondering if 韦德娱乐app下载地址 might be a good fit for your son or daughter. In 2008, 当时我是索莱伯里校长的候选人, I was doing the same thing you're doing: gathering information and wondering about fit. 当我在2008年1月第一次参观学校时, I discovered a school so extraordinary that I left that first visit knowing that if they wanted me, 我想要它们.

Nestled on a rolling 140-acre campus in the Pennsylvania countryside, I found 235 students and their 教师 pursuing learning as an exciting, 师生共奋进. I soon discovered this unique approach to education was not happenstance but rather the cornerstone to Solebury's educational philosophy dating back to the vision of the four founders in 1925. 在第一次访问中, I learned that this carefully crafted student-teacher relationship undergirded virtually all that I saw and experienced as I came to know Solebury. 我找到了一件便服, 友好的气氛弥漫在索莱伯里社区, a school where teachers and students greet each other by their first names, a school with a sense of "we're in this together and learning can be fun and exciting."

Those initial, positive impressions of 韦德娱乐app下载地址, have only deepened over time. I've come to fully appreciate how carefully Solebury has aligned the essential ingredients around the delivery of education to our students and the creation of the optimal atmosphere for this learning. 索莱伯里刻意设计得很小. 我们的规模促进了学生之间的高质量交流, 老师和家长, and enables our teachers to really get to know their students as individuals. 在索利伯里，个人是受到重视的. 索利伯里的学生不属于那种模式, 而是穿着他们的衣服, 他们的爱好和激情, they are encour年龄d to express themselves and to strive for their personal excellence, 智力, 艺术上和运动上. The result is a magical learning environment characterized by a wonderful tension between creativity and diversity, balanced against an ethos of cooperative learning between students and teachers.

There is a great deal more that enhances and enriches the learning experience of the Solebury community. The physical setting of the campus is an ideal place to spark the imagination and stoke the creativity of all who stride the pathways among the trees or along Primrose Creek, or pause to appreciate the view as the evening fog gathers in the low areas in the fall. This beautiful campus is home to old buildings that date from the mid-18th century, 美国早期历史的日常提醒, 以及新建筑——阿贝科学中心, 沃尔特·兰姆霍尔, and the Athletic Center and Track and Field—state-of-the-art facilities that complement our teachers in offering students an exceptional educational experience. 其他最近完成的项目包括我们的新音乐中心, 婴儿床翻新, the Theater renovation and renovations on the Performing 艺术 Center. 学校的设施总体规划目前正在更新中, 随着项目的临近, 包括对表演艺术中心的持续翻新, 一个新的学生中心和一个新的女生宿舍.

索伯里学校教育的核心不是, 然而, our buildings or campus; it is the relationship between our 教师 and students as they eng年龄 learning, 这一点很难在一封信或网站上体现出来. So, I would encour年龄 you to do what I did a couple of years ago—come visit us and learn about 韦德娱乐app下载地址 first hand. 参观我们的校园，与我们的学生交谈，与我们的招生人员见面. 发现学习应该是什么样子. 发现韦德娱乐app下载地址学校独特的卓越.
