Island School in Hanover, NH

On Monday, The Island School travelled to Hanover, New Hampshire to visit with alumni and interested families. The Lubrano family (Amelia, Summer 2014) hosted a wonderful evening for alumni and interested students to gather and share stories. Amelia (Su’14) was joined by Sam Hastings (F’12) and Elsa Davis (F’13) to answer questions and describe their experience at The Island School. We would like to extend a huge thank you to Allegra and Steve Lubrano for welcoming The Island School family into their home!

Amelia (Su'14), Elsa (F'13) and Sam (F'12) are doing a great job serving as admissions ambassadors at Hanover High School!

Taking the Princeton, NJ Admissions Reception Outdoors!

On Sunday night, nearly 50 interested students and families gathered at the home of Pat Wynne and Lou Valente (Jake S’10 and Cole S’14) in Princeton, New Jersey. Although our conversations were around warm and sunny Eleuthera, we took advantage of a beautiful, brisk, fall night and gathered outside to hear from Chris Maxey and Peter Zdrojewski. Cole Valente and Mackenzie Howe (both from Spring 2014) also shared their own experiences about The Island School.

Our all-star alumni, Jensen Meeker (Su’14), Kaven Marte (Su’14), and Evan Wood (S’11) answered questions and shared memories from their individual experiences at The Island School. There was lots of excitement among the interested students, especially the ones who are the first students to apply to IS from their high school.

Alumni Share Experiences at Connecticut Admissions Reception

The Island School would like to extend a huge thank you to the Davis family in New Canaan, CT for hosting nearly 40 people in their home on Tuesday night for an admissions reception. Sarabeth Davis (S’14) and Colin Hughes (F’13) answered numerous questions from perspective students and parents. Stories of solo experiences and making jewelry from lionfish spines carried us through the night and we are excited to see the interest coming from Connecticut. Our next reception will be in New York on Wednesday, October 15th. Email taylorhoffman@islandschool.org to RSVP.
