What it Means to Be at Sage

Just as education means different things to different people, each person experiences The Sage School in his or her own way. However, when you listen to the comments of current students, parents, teachers, and alumni, you’ll hear some common themes about what The Sage School has meant for them.

"Many gifted students look for concrete answers. It’s wonderful to teach these students creative work – it helps them discover there isn’t always a right or wrong answer, not everything is black or white, and it’s okay to express yourself in new and different ways."

- Ms. Bazinet
Performing Arts Teacher

"The intent of the Sage after school program is to give students choices. The program allows Sage to offer a robust education for the mind and body. The Arts and Athletics Program allows students to expand their knowledge and experience in both fields. The biggest advantage is that students can participate in both sections."

- Mr. Bourn
Athletic Director and Physical Education Teacher

"Sage is like a second home. You get to know the families on a more personal level than in most school communities. It’s great to see my former students develop as they move on to different levels and I’ve enjoyed teaching the younger siblings of those who have already passed through my classroom."

- Ms. Krikelis
Humanities Department Chair/Pre-Prime Division Teacher

"My National Endowment for Humanities grant gave me the opportunity to study African American history in Washington, DC and will directly impact my curriculum planning and teaching."

- Ms. Cordes-Vaughan
Middle School Team Leader/Humanities Teacher
