Each day, a student’s and family’s experience at an independent school is made possible by tuition AND a school’s annual fund.

Reflections on The NAIS People of Color Conference
At Shorecrest, we care very much about the safety of our students. This includes not only physical safety, but emotional and psychological safety, especially when it comes to allowing students to show up as their “full selves.” I also believe this should be a privilege afforded to staff and faculty. One of the ways that I am reminded of who I am is by reaching out to build community - whether it be with service partners, parents or other educators.
