During a recent Preview Day presentation, Headmaster Bill Taylor encouraged visiting families to take a \u201cdeep\u201d look at the schools they would be visiting. \u201cOne should look for the \u201csoul\u201d of a school,\u201d said Taylor. He explained that many schools have outstanding facilities and ambitious curriculums and are situated in beautiful environments, but the \u201csoul\u201d of a school is what cannot be seen on the surface. \u201cThe soul of a school is revealed in its community \u2014 it is what allows students and faculty to develop their self-awareness, it is a community that encourages stepping out of one\u2019s comfort zone to build self-reliance, it is a community that is supportive and caring \u2014 one that builds meaningful relationships with one another,\u201d said Taylor. These are the qualities of a school, which determines its depth as an institution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs time goes by, I increasingly appreciate what an influence Trinity-Pawling had on my development as a person\u201d \u2014 this is a phrase we hear often as our alumni share stories of their time at Trinity-Pawling \u2014 it is one of many examples of the “depth” of the Trinity-Pawling experience. \u201cMany of the seeds being sown at Trinity-Pawling are not intended to germinate until after boys graduate, when they have the maturity to fully appreciate what the experience has fully meant to them,\u201d explained Taylor. \u201cThese seeds grow deeply inside the experience of our students and provide a lifetime of reflection and guidance.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe irony is, we think we don\u2019t need structure when we are teenagers, but that is what we crave most. It is the single greatest gift that Trinity-Pawling gives us forever,” stated alumna Allison Whipple Rockefeller \u201976, who attended Trinity-Pawling during its brief period as a co-ed school. “It is the foundation of the life I live today, one of discipline and expectation for myself.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
