welcome to upper school

It is a great opportunity to lead the new Upper School at Redwood Day. Every member of this community will be equally valued for their strengths and willingness to take risks. Each faculty member will have the charge of creating a vibrant and engaging academic community that will empower students to discover meaningful connections between themselves and the world in which they live. Redwood Day Upper School will prepare students for life and college, in that order.

Our academic program is full of creativity, intellectual rigor and meaningful service learning. Our advanced curriculum will ensure that students will meet or exceed college eligibility requirements. All students will emerge as thoughtful scholars with a rich understanding of society and their ability to make a positive impact.

Every member of the Upper School will have the opportunity to have their talents on display through polished works of writing, discoveries in math and science, theatrical productions, musical performances, art gallery showings, interscholastic competitions, and leadership positions. All students will be known and their strengths acknowledged.

Each student will have the distinct responsibility to establish traditions, create clubs, and contribute to the formation of student life in the Upper School. Student government, honor council, affinity groups, year book, and newspaper are examples of some possibilities that await the creativity and resourcefulness of upper school students.

All members of the RDS Upper School will be called upon to share strengths, support themselves and others, communicate successfully within a diverse community, lead by example, have a sense of humor and, ultimately, develop a strong sense of self.

See you soon!

Upper School Director
