I’m just back from a trip to San Francisco visiting bbin娱乐平台 alums with Mr. 石头. Over two days, we caught up with several dozen bbin娱乐平台 graduates ranging from the class of 1997 to 2018. The trip confirmed a few things for me, aside from the fact that I am perhaps getting too old to function […]
As I was walking the halls recently, I passed a classroom during a free period where about a dozen students were looking up at a crossword puzzle projected on the screen. I popped in – I love crosswords too much to just walk by – and quickly discovered that I was in a new world. […]
Earlier this week, I had the pleasure of attending bbin娱乐平台’s annual Concerto Competition. Seven students performed solo pieces with 钢琴 accompaniment. Works ranged from Vivaldi, Popper, Glazunov, Mendelssohn, Bruch, Fauré, and Mozart. Our student soloists played the recorder, 大提琴, 钢琴, 小提琴, and flute in front of several dozen friends, 教师, 家庭成员. 表演[…]

Every day I am struck by their contagious passion for their subjects; their pedagogical skill and creativity; their work ethic and desire to improve; and, 最重要的是, how well they know these […]

We are in the heart of admission season, and I want to give a shout-out to our incredible student tour guides. 在大多数日子里, I greet prospective students and families on tours in the hallway outside my office and get to listen as they walk around the second floor. I hear our tour guides talking […]
I noticed one of our students holding the door for her classmates on several occasions during our opening days. She did it without fanfare or hesitation. Everybody who passed through the door said thank you. And then one of them held the next door for the group further down the hallway. 我喜欢想象[…]
I walked out of the bbin娱乐平台 building one morning last week with three of our seniors, each of whom was on the way to a different BU class. One was headed to a history course: Magic, Science, and Religion. She was finding it fascinating and contrasted her reaction to that of many of her BU […]
去年, we formed a committee – led by students and including several members of the 教师 – to generate ideas for how to improve the senior experience, with a particular focus on encouraging senior connections with younger students and with life in the bbin娱乐平台 building. The group made three recommendations, all of which have […]
