Messages from Our Head of School

Well, we did it! Week One of the 2020-2021 school year is in the books, and I could not be more proud of our entire community. 

I wanted to speak to what we all have witnessed through news reports or perhaps in person in recent days. In fact, it has been a difficult several days inside of several challenging months for our nation and region.

It is with great sadness that I share this message with you this evening.  Earlier today, we learned of two losses within our TQS family.

We live in a high-anxiety age, where news outlets on all sides make money by whipping us into a frenzy and everyone on Instagram is both better looking and has a more interesting life than me. But here's the thing: despite it all, 2019 was a really positive year.

Recently, I have been reflecting on the idea of place -- what it means, how it shapes us, and how we shape it. 

Perhaps it’s because this is my fifth year serving as Head of School at The Quaker School at Horsham, which means it is also my fifth year living in the Delaware Valley -- a place that has definitely made an impact on my life and my family.

If it seems like every time you open an email from me, you get delivered big news ... well get used to it, because the next few weeks (months! years!) are going to be pretty epic.

Nicole has already taught many of your children, and if you have had the pleasure of working with her you know exactly why she was ultimately selected for the position by the search committee. 

We here at The Quaker School at Horsham have been building up to this new groundbreaking moment since our founding.
