To all our special guests, faculty, staff, administration, parents, friends, and family members, whether here or online watching live – we thank you for your pride and presence as we celebrate this, our 28th commencement exercises in honor of the class of 2021. Our special gratitude to our Board of Trustee members here tonight, particularly […]
Holy Mystery… You have so many names. The Torah calls you Creator,the Quran calls you Peace,the Gita calls you Destroyer,the Dharma calls you Truth,and the First Epistle of John calls you perhaps the most beautiful name of all: Love. You are the strange love uniting all things. The love that drew elements together after that […]
Wanted to capture this on my leadership journey site and as a way of refreshing the content here. I’ve been working hard on the school site and my community feed at Zimplicity to provide everyone with the information they need during our fight with the current pandemic. Statistics relative to our work and the FAQ […]
Upgrading things takes a bit, but worth the energy and attention. Now have all the usual tools back in place with latest versions. phpmyadmin, limesurvey, dotproject (love that old program), amongst others, supporting the overall site. Fresh look. Stable under the hood. Brilliant!
TechTied has always been a good friend to me, but has fallen into disuse in recent years as time didn’t allow me to move it to a new platform and therefore consolidate my hosting on a single platform after others failed me. With some help from the crew at GoDaddy, it is now updated and […]
The more I’m reading recently about Trump, the more I’m wondering about how the general public is being manipulated in ways that are far more profound than any we have seen throughout history. Psychology has always informed the practices of advertising and marketing over the years and many early manipulative methods of subliminal messaging were […]
Found this recently on Quora – worth a read. I think there may be other factors as well, but these three seem to be manageable with some persistence. Read Bassel Khaled‘s answer to Why do we feel tired after we sleep for a really long time, instead of waking up fresh? on Quora
It seems just a few short days ago, I was preparing and presenting a speech for our graduates about tolerance and trust. I encouraged them that there are things that will happen in life to shake our safety and security when others act on fear and anger. And, on the weekend, we faced the latest […]
Summer is almost here!! I’m looking forward to seeing as many of you as possible at Closing Ceremony next week as we bid farewell to another school year. It’s hard to believe that, for me, it has been 5 years already — an anniversary of sorts. It is quite amazing to look back on all […]
Welcome, June! Now that we have completed both graduations, Moscow and St. Petersburg, we find ourselves in the midst of final demonstrations of learning that will play out in the remaining days. I value tremendously the remaining plays and programs as they present their “best stuff” to parent audiences. And we have done well to […]
End-of-Year Events May has almost ended and the final activities of the year are before us. Please pay close attention to the calendar as there are concerts, drama productions, moving-up ceremonies, and other end-of-year events scheduled in the next month. For those in attendance at graduation last Saturday, we hope you enjoyed the pomp and […]
To all of our special guests, faculty, administration, parents, friends, and family members – we thank you for your pride and presence as we celebrate this, our 22nd commencement exercises for the class of 2016. To all of our representatives from the supporting embassies including both honored guests and, especially, those who serve as members of our School […]
As we head into graduation on the weekend, let me offer my sincere congratulations to all the students and families that will be involved with us on Saturday. The act of Commencement is a pivotal moment in a student’s life ushering them into long considered career pathways. While some are still narrowing their path toward […]
Belated wishes for happy May Holidays!! I hope all enjoyed the weekend and for those that connected to the festivities here in Moscow, I hope you were engaged in the cultural experience that is a big part of Russia and particularly, Moscow. We also completed some important work last week during our annual meetings revolving […]
Ode to Our Mothers We are coming up on one of the most important holidays of the year in my estimation. In many countries, this Sunday brings us the holiday ‘Mother’s Day’ and our annual opportunity to demonstrate our love and appreciation. It goes without great articulation that the love of a mother is our […]
Significant Waypoints There are particular junctures in life that encourage emotional punctuation to assure that these moments don’t pass us by without appropriate recognition. Our seniors this week have reached that moment where their knowledge and associated work of two years has come to a culmination and we move them into independent study mode to […]
Welcome back after a nice Spring getaway. Whether you were just “getting away” to the parks in Moscow or traveling more broadly, I hope this energized you for weeks of packed activity that are now on the horizon. I’m looking forward to seeing you at various junctures between now and closing ceremony. You got a […]
https://youtu.be/gA3GlS6JopM Nicely done! While this was completed and shared before our trip, it deserves some additional play time, now that we know the initiates captured here are really working!
As I look around our neighborhood, there are increasing signs of Spring on the horizon. With that comes a new burst of energy that matches the sunrise each morning. We have a quickened pace, and all eyes are on the prize that is dangling ahead of us, whether it be graduation, transition, or just completing […]
