Several members of our faculty and staff participated in last week's AISNE Academic Leadership Symposium, a two-day conference held at Natick's Verve Hotel! We were thrilled to hold a site visit on campus during the conference, during which we welcomed academic leaders from various independent schools to Walnut Hill. Our guests enjoyed lunch in the Hughes Dining Hall, a tour of campus, and a Q&A session. We were happy to have them on the Hill! 💜

We are so excited to be returning to the Calderwood Pavilion at the BCA this fall with ! Don't miss Peter and the Starcatcher, November 6-8 🌟 🎭

This Tony-winning play upends the century-old story of how a miserable orphan comes to be The Boy Who Would Not Grow Up (a.k.a. Peter Pan). From marauding pirates and jungle tyrants to unwilling comrades and unlikely heroes, this theatrical adaptation of Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson's best-selling novels explores the depths of greed and despair… and the bonds of friendship, duty and love.
