Perspectives from Our School Leadership
Hear directly from our Director, Dr. Rand Harrington, as he shares the vision guiding our school and answers questions from our community.
Our director announces the next phase of our campus Master Plan, starting with a signature Health & Wellness Center. This project is driven by our strategic pillar of prioritizing well-being for our entire community.
Our director explains our second strategic pillar: Prioritizing Well-being and Belonging. He discusses how we build one community from 70 different countries by ensuring every child feels a sense of belonging and respect.
An explanation of our third strategic pillar: Inspired Campus Environment. Our director details how clean, safe, and sustainable learning spaces are critical to fulfilling our mission, including plans for a new Health and Wellness building.
Our director discusses the fourth pillar, Sustainable Financial Stewardship. As a not-for-profit, every decision is guided by our mission to advance student learning and ensure the long-term health of our school.
In another round of "Ask the Director," Dr. Harrington answers student questions about innovation in schools, why he became a director, and his favorite place on campus (the playground!).
Our director answers questions from students in our "Ask the Director" series. In this episode, he shares personal stories about his pets and offers advice on how to feel better when you're sad or worried.

- Inspired Campus Environment: We are upgrading facilities, such as our new Health and Wellness building, to provide clean, safe, and modern spaces for students to thrive.
- Sustainable Financial Stewardship: As a non-profit, we manage resources transparently to ensure long-term stability and invest in future growth.
