Beyond the Classroom
Pillar 2Beyond the Classroom
As a student-centered school, Shore continually refines offerings and teaching approaches to strengthen and expand experiences that foster a vibrant, inclusive, and connected community through leadership opportunities and student-driven initiatives. To teach the ‘whole child’ means honoring their intellectual, emotional, and social needs, as well as providing opportunities to pursue passions and explore their capacity to lead in different settings. By leveraging our expansive campus and our distinct home on the North Shore, we will deepen our commitment to experiential, place-based learning and grow our commitment to creating curious students who are aware of the complexities and opportunities of the world.

Overnight trips, like going to Washington, D.C. and Camp Mataponi, where we got to know each other better and worked as a team, helped me feel more confident and able to bring ideas forward.
