It’s been busy and exciting at Torit! We hosted another well-attended Admission Open House on Tuesday afternoon. On Thursday, the Torit Foundation, which raises funds for scholarships, hosted their first Lunch & Learn with experts from Welch & Forbes on “Financing Education,” focusing on 529 savings plans. The video can be found below or on the Torit Parent Page. That evening, many of you joined me for a State of the School address. Likewise, that video can also be found below or on the Parent Page.

As I mentioned in the talk, we are exploring several university partnerships. We hosted a visitor from the Harvard Graduate School of Education’s field placement office, bringing us one step closer to having grad students on site with us. We also welcomed three students from Simmons University’s Library Science program, who are helping us reimagine the library and bring Torit students into it on a more regular basis. And we expect to host researchers from MIT in the coming weeks as they collect data from Torit students on language development.

Our elementary students begin skating lessons at the Frog Pond rink this coming week with professional coaches from the Skating Academy!

Summer Session is filling quickly and we encourage you to sign up before spaces are all filled.

Finally, thanks to everyone who has returned enrollment agreements. We’re thrilled to have you back next year. The deadline for returning the agreement is February 1. As you can see from my State of the School talk, there is a great deal of momentum at Torit and positive energy. This is the place to be. Please help spread the word!

Onward,

David Liebmann

Head of School
