In a responsive classroom, the
exercise of naming hopes and
dreams is critical to feeling
personally connected to and
engaged in learning.
HOPES AND DREAMS
Lower school students took the school's 2018-19
theme of action to heart and defined things they hoped
to accomplish over the course of the school year.
We value the potential that
Latin will provide our children
with the determination,
resilience and curiosity to
be successful in the world."

When students are conscious and proactive
about learning, it provokes a more personal
response to engaging with the material.
SEEING STARS
The upper school Advanced Acting Company class performed the
play "Silent Sky" by Lauren Gunderson during the 2018-19 school
year. This true story of 19th-century astronomer Henrietta Leavitt,
whose quest to measure the distance of stars begins at Harvard
Observatory and ends up changing our understanding of
the universe.
Advanced Acting Company is made up of juniors and seniors
who have taken classes in the upper school acting curriculum.
The course culminates in a production fully produced and
managed by students. With the rehearsal process embedded
into class time throughout the semester, it allows the cast and
crew to delve deeper into the play, spending more time on script
and character analysis, ensemble building and dramaturgy,
while also providing students opportunities to oversee
behind-the-scenes work like costume and makeup design.
