LETTER FROM THE INTERIM HEAD OF SCHOOL

Dear St. Martin’s Community, Challenges present important opportunities for learning and growth. In 2020 and 2021, COVID challenged parents to look past assumptions, habits, and routines. Meanwhile COVID challenged St. Martin’s to clarify and reaffirm the fundamental tenets of our educational program. A St. Martin’s, education is not merely academic content: the 3 R’s of the 19th century. Our 2021 world needs

MISSION STATEMENT We seek to inspire in our students a love of inquiry, a sustaining faith, and a generous spirit open to ideas, peoples of the world, and a call to service. At our Episcopal school, students discover who they are as learners, leaders, and friends. We create a welcoming community encouraging each individual to grow in confidence, compassion, and character, grounded in the knowledge that each is a child of God. INCLUSION STATEMENT St. Martin’s Episcopal School seeks to embrace and promote diversity among our students, faculty, administration and trustees. Our learning community recognizes and respects the diversity of our society; we provide our students with opportunities to gain exposure to a multicultural curriculum that celebrates individual differences. All qualified applicants are considered without regard to gender, race, religion, color, national or ethnic origin, and sexual orientation.

more: Respect, Responsibility, and Relationships with others-- none of which are available through distance learning in a virtual classroom. As COVID closed schools around the world, SMES was thoughtful and nimble finding a way to carry on. Through proactive precau- tions and excellent communication, our small community rallied to preserve the integrity of the SMES learning process, predicated on respectful interactions in a community of shared values. The outside community heard about what was possible in a small, independent school that could not be achieved in larger environments and joined us. In search of normalcy, parents discovered something extraordinary. A school can elevate perspectives and that children can be happier as a result. We are thankful for the support of all the parents, past-parents and friends that allowed St. Martin’s to reaffirm the centrality of interpersonal relations between caring, committed teachers and families in a school that appreciates everyone’s unique strengths. Although much has recently changed in the world and St. Martin’s, our school continues to inspire students to learn with Confidence, serve with Compassion, and lead with Character. Gratefully,
