Learning beyond the classroom...from Stamford to Harvard! 🏫

This summer, Stamford G5 students Channing and Justin joined the ATWIN X-STEAM program in Boston, MA — an immersive experience designed to spark curiosity and real-world thinking.

They learned alongside Harvard professors, explored innovation at companies like Google and Novartis, and engaged with challenges in healthcare and technology.

Experiences like these reflect Stamford’s commitment to opening doors for our students, connecting them with global opportunities that nurture inquiry, creativity, and the mindset of future innovators and leaders. 💡

Guys & Dolls – three incredible nights of success!

A massive thank you to our arts team for bringing 1930s New York to life in such a vibrant and immersive way. The Black Box Theater created an intimate setting that made every moment feel engaging and up close.

From the performers on stage and the student band to the crew working behind the scenes. We are so proud of everything they have accomplished and grateful for the support from our school community. Congratulations to everyone involved in making Guys & Dolls such a memorable experience!
