Independent School

With so much disruption in education these past few years and increased attention from parents on kids’ schooling, there have been a lot of questions about what’s going on in schools. This collective and renewed focus on education has brought renewed focus to an important question: What is the purpose of school? In the Fall 2023 issue of Independent School magazine, we seek to explore the purpose of education and independent schools. 
 

Boards of trustees are the backbone of our schools, and they need to be high-functioning for schools to thrive and succeed. But with so much change and having operated in crisis mode for the past few years, it’s prime time for a reset and to take a fresh look at what good governance looks like today. In the Summer 2023 issue, we explore the state of governance and what’s ahead.

In every issue, we strive to cultivate conversation and community. After a few years of tumult and burnout, we’re doubling down on that in the Spring 2023 issue. This issue aspires to offer a reflective pause and inspiration, bringing together a wide variety of voices and perspectives on what it means to be a community and the importance of it.
