Winter Internship Expands All Horizons

Winter Internship was a great success! Over 200 students interned at approximately 140 different locations locally while another 30 students (about 15% of interns) completed internships out-of-town, with the farthest intern in Mauritius! Thirteen students participated in the Winter Dramatic Production, and trips abroad totaled 85 students—18 to France, 37 to Spain and 30 locally with the community service group. Meanwhile, the 6th grade had a unique internship experience with one week of arts learning at school, and a second week of culinary instruction with Gil at school and also at Hill's Kitchen.

The teachers also stayed very busy during the internship weeks, holding parent/teacher conferences, visiting students in their local internships, and engaging in a number of professional development activities. The highlights included a viewing and discussion of the award winning documentary about educationRace To Nowhere and a visit and workshop by Rick Lavoie, an internationally recognized expert on learning differences. Dr Lavoie spoke with the faculty for four hours about strategies that work for students with all kinds of different learning styles, and he left us with great ideas to broaden our teaching repertoires.
 
Truly, Winter Internship is a learning experience for everyone at Field, teaching us in difference ways that extend our classrooms all over the city and all over the world, bringing us back together more able to pursue Self-Discovery, Skills of Mind, and Generosity of Heart!

Be Yourself at The Field School

Self-Discovery.  It's the first word in our mission statement, and its pursuit is innate to everyday life at Field.  Students are encouraged to think and learn about themselves, and to grow as individuals over the course of their time here.  They can be studious, athletic, shy, boisterous, latino, focused, whimsical, black, white or anytihng else they want—so long as they are who they truly are.

Field is a place where you can be yourself.
