Catlin Gabel School is an independent, coeducational day school dedicated to academic excellence, lifelong learning, multiculturalism, and customized attention to students' aptitudes, interests, and learning styles. Situated on a 54-acre wooded campus in Portland, Oregon, Catlin Gabel offers an enriched curriculum blending science, mathematics, humanities, the arts, athletics, and a strong sense of community for students in preschool through twelfth grade. The school is independently governed by a board of trustees as a nonprofit institution without religious affiliation.
Established in 1957 with roots in predecessor schools dating to 1859, Catlin Gabel School is guided by the philosophy of progressive education. All Catlin Gabel students are educated to engage in a world that is complex, swiftly changing, and culturally diverse. Academic emphasis is on creative and critical thinking rather than information processing. All students engage in community service every year; their growing awareness of their place in the world is fostered by cross-cultural exposure and opportunities for international learning. Catlin Gabel School graduates students who will be effective citizens in a global future.
Catlin Gabel's Upper School program fosters a lifelong love of learning and prepares students for productive experiences in college and beyond. The program introduces each student to a wide spectrum of scholastic endeavor while encouraging in-depth study in fields of major interest. The Upper School goal is the progressive mastery of the tools of inquiry and expression, understanding of fundamental mathematical and scientific ideas and techniques, active participation in the arts, and development of teamwork and physical coordination through athletics.
Understanding of the learning process has served to deepen the awareness of each pupil as the focus of consideration, be they gifted or in need of remedial assistance. Styles and speed of learning, background influences, and individual interests and needs are taken into account as teachers plan courses, counsel advisees, and work with students. This unwavering commitment, which is core to the school's mission, has created an educational environment that nurtures all students' creative gifts and growing intellects.

St. Andrew's Episcopal School

Ridgeland, MS 39157
(601) 853-6000
http://www.gosaints.org
St. Andrew's Episcopal School is an independent, co-educational, college preparatory day school with a diverse student body located in central Mississippi. Attracting students from urban and rural areas within an 80-mile radius of metropolitan Jackson, St. Andrew's on two campuses serves 1,160 students in pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade. The Lower School (PK-4) is in Jackson, the capital city, while the Middle (5-8) and Upper Schools (9-12) are located eight miles away on the 75-acre North Campus in Ridgeland, an adjacent suburb.
Founded in 1947, St. Andrew's opened its doors initially to 45 students in Grades 1-4. Adele Franks, the school's energetic, creative founding Headmistress, developed a challenging curriculum that included foreign languages, arts studies, and character-building programs designed to help children become more tolerant and understanding of themselves and others. From its earliest days, St. Andrew's emphasized the need to pay individual attention to each student in order to discover and develop his or her unique talents and gifts. In 1955, Mrs. Franks initiated St. Andrew's first scholarship program enabling exceptional students with limited financial resources to become St. Andrew's students.
Throughout its 58-year history, St. Andrew's has upheld a standard of academic excellence while creating a nurturing environment open to students of every ethnic and economic background. Today, in keeping with its history, St. Andrew's offers a rigorous academic curriculum, including more Advanced Placement courses than any other school in the state. Its academic programs are supported and enhanced by outstanding programs in the performing arts, visual arts, athletics, service learning, and peer leadership.
St. Andrew's continually seeks to enrich its community with students and faculty from a variety of cultural heritages and to enhance its offerings and facilities so that it can remain true to its mission “to nurture a diverse community in the Episcopal tradition, encouraging spiritual growth, moral responsibility, and academic excellence.”

Trinity Preparatory School
5700 Trinity Prep Lane
Winter Park, FL 32792

http://www.trinityprep.org
Trinity Preparatory School is an independent Episcopal college preparatory school for grades 6-12 whose mission is “to develop students who are able to excel in college and beyond, contribute to their communities, lead in a changing society, and grow spiritually.” In support of our mission, we are committed to these core values: educational excellence, both academic and extra-curricular; character development; the Trinity family; and spiritual growth.
In 1968, The Rev. Canon A. Rees Hay, with the assistance and commitment of local community leaders, opened the doors of the school on our 100-acre campus to 173 students and a small group of dedicated teachers. Trinity Prep has never compromised its commitment to a rigorous curriculum, a highly qualified and caring faculty, a low student-teacher ratio, a strong athletic program, and an exceptional college guidance program. Trinity believes in presenting students with the widest possible range of opportunities for growth in academic as well as in extra-curricular areas. The close personal relationships developed in the classrooms, on the playing fields, and in advisory sessions enable the faculty to foster student growth in integrity, tolerance, curiosity, and judgment.
Trinity Prep believes that to meet the challenges of the future the students of today must be committed to excellence in academics, in quality of character, and in leadership. This can only be accomplished in an environment where opportunities for achievement can be broadly and safely explored. Our faculty, counselors, coaches, and advisors challenge our students to do their best, encouraging them to pursue meaningful activities and valuable community service. Our 800 students come from the entire Orlando area, some driving more than one hour each way, to pursue our college preparatory program.

University School of Nashville
2000 Edgehill Avenue
Nashville, TN 37212
(615) 321-8000
http://www.usn.org
University School of Nashville is an independent, non-sectarian, co-educational day school of 1,000 students in grades kindergarten through 12.
With a goal of fostering a love of learning while building a foundation for college study, the school adheres to an academically rigorous liberal arts program. Learning here remains student-centered, active, and in-depth, with a commitment to progressive ideals. Student responsibility and initiative are encouraged both within and beyond the classroom.
An urban location, bounded by Vanderbilt University, is one of the school's defining characteristics. Its 1925 Demonstration School building has been renovated and complemented in recent years with a newly completed library and adjacent visual arts wing. In addition, a cross-town 80-acre River Campus provides playing fields, a track, and a wetlands site for science research.
USN families represent a breadth of experience, united in their wish for young people to learn from one another as they come to know themselves. Schoolwide, 24% are students of color, and 16% of all USN students have at least one parent born outside the U.S., with 34 different countries represented. USN also includes families representing many different faith traditions. Our students live in eight counties in the metropolitan Nashville area.
The school's history and mission are rooted in a 19th century initiative for educating teachers, supporting innovation, and demonstrating proven teaching methods. In 1915, the George Peabody College of Education opened Peabody Demonstration School, USN's predecessor, which earned a national reputation for its curriculum and faculty. In 1974, a few years before its ultimate merger with Vanderbilt University, Peabody College announced plans to close the Demonstration School. Immediately thereafter, a group of parents, alumni, students and teachers joined forces to reconstitute and re-charter the school as University School of Nashville, an independent institution dedicated to carrying the legacy of PDS forward.
