Connecting With Area Schools--Annie Wright Schools

It seems that many Heads of School in our region are interested in getting out to meet each other and tour other schools this year. On Wednesday, November 30th, I met with Christian Sullivan, the Headmaster of Annie Wright Schools in Tacoma. We toured the school and discussed governance models, board work, faculty committees, and fundraising. Annie Wright Schools, which has a co-ed Prek-8 school and a girls-only upper school, has just introduced a five-day boarding option in an effort to attract more regional students to round out their mix of international students who board seven days a week. The school hosts a Scholar Search event in January to acquaint prospective high school students with the school.

Our next school visitors are faculty from Hamlin Robinson School, who will take part in an Educator's Tour, a special event hosted by Vivian Syme. My next meeting with Seattle Waldorf School's Director of Administration Tracy Bennett is Monday, December 5th. On Monday, December 12th, I will attend a meeting of regional Waldorf school administrators hosted by Seattle Waldorf School.
