WELCOME

Welcome to the Spring/Summer 2020 issue of ACCENT. Inside this issue, we spotlight our amazing Awty Class of 2020. We also feature the school's incredible overnight transition to remote learning, success stories among both the faculty and the student body, and employee comings and goings.


FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL & PROVISEUR

 


SPOTLIGHT ON

awty's class of 2020

While none of us could have ever dreamed the Class of 2020 would end their high school careers quarantined, our senior/terminale students did so with sacrifice, courage, grace, remarkable resilience, and maturity. As they embark on their next journey, we would like to take this last opportunity to put the spotlight on the Class of 2020. Out of 142 graduates, 128 have shared what they will miss the most about Awty and their favorite Awty memory, as well as their plans after Awty. >>READ MORE

Awty graduates, you did it, and we are all so proud of you! Several members of your Awty family wanted to share some kind words, well wishes, and congratulatory messages with you. Click here to read those messages now.


BRAVO!

Even virtually, some of our students, teachers, alums, and families rose above the crowd! These members of the Awty Community deserve a standing ovation and a round of applause. >>READ MORE


VIRTUAL CAMPUS NEWS

During March 2020, virtual classrooms and home offices became our reality and the new normal. Awty students, teachers, staff members, and families rose to the challenge, never missed a beat, and switched to distance learning practically overnight. Students quickly adapted to the new environment, teachers and staff learned to work alongside new "colleagues and assistants", and our families took on dual roles as both parents and co-teachers. Together, we did it, and you all should be proud of a job well done! Let's take a look back at some of the big moments while quarantined. >>READ MORE


EMPLOYEE NEWS

Here, we provide a quick glance at our new full-time faculty, staff members, and administrators who have been hired since the end of February 2020, as well as a list of employees who are leaving Awty at the end of the school year to pursue new adventures. >>READ MORE
