What does The Mead School mean to you?

Being at Mead provided an incredible opportunity for personal development and freedom. Mead allowed me to explore the things that interested and excited me as a child, and this opportunity offered tremendous personal growth. Mead's holistic and child-centered approach to learning fostered in me independence, and creativity. Today I am motivated and excited to learn across disciplines because of the open-minded, engaged, and interdisciplinary learning environment that exists at Mead.

What does The Mead School mean to you?

It is unbelievable that it has been almost a decade since I left Mead. However, the Mead School still means a tremendous amount to me. Mead showed me how to have a voice and be confident enough to use it. I learned that it was okay (and a good thing) to stand up for what I believed and, perhaps more importantly, how to do that.

What aspects of Mead (passions etc.) do you carry with you today?

While my academic interests have shifted from humanities to science, aspects of Mead that I carry with me today are seen in my every day behavior. Mead has given me confidence to be an individual and has also given me a broader perspective in social dynamics.

During Mead, I had several "processes" with my teachers. The skills that I learned in these discussions have helped me tremendously, both in my academic world and in my social world, as it taught me how to express myself while still taking into consideration other people's views.

I was also always encouraged by my teachers to explore different areas. Whether it was a new musical instrument, a different acting role, or a new kind of book, I was always trying new things. This learning curiosity that I developed at Mead has carried on with me to this day, as I still like the challenge of going out of my comfort zone to learn new things.

What does The Mead School mean to you?

Mead was so much more to me than just a school. It was a home away from home for 14 years. When I hear “The Mead School” I think of a place that pushes you to see the very best in yourself. It’s not so much the school itself, I guess, it's more the people in it that make it what it is. Teachers connect with you in a genuine and authentic way.
