Students of Color: How to Get the Most Out of a Private School Experience
Wednesday, February 15, 2023
Offered 7:00 pm
Whether NMH is your number one choice or you are leaning to another school, we want to share with you important information to help you to select the right school for students of color.
The alumni of color panel can answer questions such as:
-
What programs should schools provide to support students of color — and why?
-
What advice can they give to students of color as they seek to take full advantage of private school opportunities?
-
How do parents maintain communication with the school so they know what is going on with their child?
-
What are the hurdles you might face as students of color in these schools?
-
How do you best navigate independent-school communities as students of color?
The discussion will also include an opportunity for you to ask your own questions. Sara Wilson NMH class of 2002 and director of accreditation at the Association of Independent Schools in New England, will moderate the panel. In her role with AISNE, she understands schools across New England and can offer her perspectives about NMH and private school environments.
