The School returned to normal operations in 2023 following several years of modified services during COVID. All students and staff resumed in-person learning full-time on campus. We were able to return to our mission-driven experiential educational programming, including our beginning of year all-school 3 day overnight campout, and our regular field trips throughout the year, as well as our end of year trips. Our entire high school class was able to travel to Brazil for two weeks as part of our international travel program. We rebuilt our community involvement, bringing back events such as art shows, ecstatic dance, theater productions, and community meals. We increased parent volunteerism after several years of not having parents in the building at all because of COVID. We utilized much-needed State, Local, and Federal Recovery Funds to support student and staff emotional and physical wellness programs. We also provided a 3 day retreat in the fall of 2023 for staff at an off campus location for professional development and planning in preparation for the 23-24 school year as we knew it would require a lot of extra support returning to school after such a long period of disruption from the COVID years. By the end of the school year, staff, students, and families reported feeling much stronger and more in sync with traditional school and were well prepared to meet the challenges the year brought. The transition to in-person learning was deemed a success.
