At ISW, the love and learning continue! Small independent schools work because we are built on innovation, flexibility, and an extraordinary faculty work ethic. Those qualities are part of our DNA, so it’s no surprise that in adversity, ISW continues to offer excellence in academics while maintaining the loving environment for which we are known.
Our building may be closed for the year (which breaks our hearts!), but from day one of the closure, our faculty members have been working closely with families to ensure our students didn’t miss a beat. Classes are meeting via Google Meet; videos have been created and shared; teachers are finding excellent resources and crafting innovative new lessons; students are submitting outstanding work. Even in the midst of this unprecedented episode, ISW is dedicated to ensuring that our small classes get the attention they need and deserve.
ISW’s main focus is, as always, our students. We are well aware that all young people have significant emotional as well as academic needs in this trying time, and we are finding many ways to reach out to our students. We are here for them and for their families–from texts to phone calls, from virtual field trips to ISW Spirit Days, from movies to silly challenges! Over the coming weeks, we will be sharing pieces of our collective journey into uncharted territory. Stay tuned!
