7th Grade Biology: Smartphone Microscopes

What happens to children and schools when war becomes normal or accepted? A teacher reflects on bombed universities, silence in American schools, the Vietnam era, and why teaching may be humanity’s oldest pacifist tradition.

Congratulations to all of the students who received awards at our Academic and Core Values Awards Assembly on May 12! The awards honored their academic excellence and embodiment of the school's Core Values.

Our talented senior class members completed their Senior Graduation Defense presentations, where they petitioned for distinction in a given area. We are so impressed by our seniors’ embodiment of our core values, their talent, their gratitude, and their ability to articulate what legacy they are leaving The Grauer School.

Congratulations to all of our Grauer High School and Middle School Archery Team members who competed at the OAS National competition this year. It was a fantastic event, and our archers showed up in both style and form, and shot very well collectively as a team. 

Well-known actor Luke Wilson visited our campus and talked with the High School Theatre Department students. He answered questions from the students about what it is really like to be a working actor, and gave advice on the acting, writing, and directing world.

What if curriculum began not with standards, but with the land under our feet? Here is a short and fruitful meditation on forgetting, fire and flood, and the deeper work of teaching.
