    Celebrating the 2023-2024 School Year!

    06/05/2023

    As the school year draws to a close, I want to send a big thank you to our community for a fantastic year. Together, we have shared so many special moments, watched our students take giant leaps forward, and accomplished many new milestones.

    The Gift of Presence

    02/09/2022

    When I was a child my mother used to take me into the forest to look for edible wild mushrooms. She had learned which mushrooms were safe to eat from her older sisters and brothers—and who knows where they learned it!

    Onward and Upward!

    01/10/2022

    My favorite professor at Assumption College, Thomas Puchalsky, taught American and European Literature. The most engaging and inspiring teacher I’ve ever had, on weekends he’d host soirees where we cooked collective meals, read poetry in a variety of languages, and listened to opera.

    Ending a Unique Year

    06/11/2021

    As we approach our promotion and graduation ceremonies, we look back on an extraordinarily difficult and challenging year. Because of the pandemic, we could not give each other hugs, sit and chat on the deck in front of the school, or do many of the community activities we normally plan each year.

    Adjusting To COVID-19

    09/15/2020

    Well, it has been a summer like no other. Vacation plans have had to be modified or canceled altogether. We’ve had to live with completely altered schedules and in anxiety for our families’ health and well-being.

    One Global Family

    03/09/2020

    What a difference a month makes. The whole world is reacting to a pandemic of a previously unknown virus. It’s an emergency on a global scale, dominating every news cycle.

    Education Needs a Radical Change

    02/01/2020

    After watching a film about the life of Jane Goodall, and then reading a recent interview with her, I was struck by her stark observations regarding the state of our planet.

    Building Bridges

    01/21/2020

    As I think about the complex and swiftly changing world our students are coming of age in, I see that one of the biggest challenges they will face is the level of polarization in our society.

Family is not measured by the number of chairs around the dining table, but by the names we give to those who care for us. It’s not the food we eat, the clothes we wear, the shows we watch or the games we play.

Family is our love and mutual respect for each other. Forging a community that extends to the home of every student. We find family by coming together in shared moments. Offering celebration in triumph, compassion in sadness, guidance and wisdom for every semester.

We believe family is central to everything we do because humanity is at its best when we work together.

Welcome to Oneness-Family School.
