THE HEADMASTER'S BLOG

What began as a blog for Camp and School parents is now a site to share important information with staff and trustees. The parent blog has migrated to our website.

NCS: A Life Skill

Winter weather has returned, and all the students are looking forward to skiing at Whiteface tomorrow.

Enclosed below is a picture of Todd teaching an important practical skill – CPR – to the students in Balcony House. All of our classes seek to apply the academic concepts taught to real life. In a related fashion counselors Betsy Thomas-Train and Lauren McGovern work with all students to teach a variety of social-emotional skills which will be of practical use throughout a student’s life. Today, we also had consultant Randolph Carter up from Washington DC working with faculty on facilitating conversations about diversity; a key skill for the 21st century. (A note of thanks, the CPR mannequins were donated by past NCS parent Jan Johnson.)

Bouldering in the Desert

Hello from Hock!

This is my tenth year as the head of the institution. Selden and I met on campus and were married on the lake hill in 1984. Both our children - Jon and Lucy - have gone to, or are presently attending North Country School and Camp Treetops. In this blog I will try to show your children at work and play. I will also share some of the resources that our staff are discussing today. Of course, the definitive word on the subject is best found on our website ... the blog is just to whet your appetite.
