The Nightingale-Bamford School

The Nightingale-Bamford School Being a Nightingale girl means that—no matter what you want to say to the world—you have the kno Our commitment to the success of every girl is absolute.

The mission of the Nightingale-Bamford School is to educate the minds and the hearts of its students in a challenging, vibrant community that prizes academic excellence. Founded in 1920, Nightingale is an independent K-12 girls' school that provides a classical curriculum to motivated students of varied backgrounds, interests, and talents. What they share is a demanding academic environment in which their teachers inspire them to love learning and to embrace curiosity, creativity, and hard work. Providing structure and a strong foundation from the start, the curriculum allows for increasing independence as students move through the Lower, Middle, and Upper Schools. In each division, small classes permit teachers to find their students' strengths and insist on their best efforts. At the same time, we believe that success comes in many forms. Through the arts and athletics, ample leadership opportunities, extracurricular activities, and community service, Nightingale students are encouraged to discover and to demonstrate that the mind and heart are equally important, and that one is empty without the other.

“I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of any thing than of a book! — When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.” ― Jane Austen

We hope everyone in the Nightingale community enjoyed browsing the incredible selection our Library Department curated for this year’s Book Fair. It was a wonderful two days of celebrating all that is special about reading and books.

Thank you to our parent volunteers and everyone at Nightingale who helped to make this literary extravaganza possible!

Class VII journeyed to Washington, D.C. last week for a jam-packed three day class trip. Complementing their study of Democracy, Civics, and Advocacy: U.S. History and Government to 1800, their itinerary included the Museum of African American History and Culture, the American History Museum, the Capitol, the Holocaust Museum, the National Archives (where they took a tour with Nightingale alumna Marin Nass '13 and viewed the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights), Arlington National Cemetery, and multiple memorials. Class VII students and teachers alike are looking forward to incorporating their experiences in our nation's capital into future history classes and discussions throughout the year.

After learning from various types of maps, globes, and atlases, Class III closed out their Geography Unit by becoming cartographers! “The Neighborhood Walk” introduced students to the process of charting a path and orienting themselves on paper. They practiced creating images in a bird's eye view and attending to cardinal directions as they navigated the streets around the school and in their own home neighborhoods for homework. In class, students will create a larger map of their own neighborhoods complete with a compass rose, street names, and a map key to show landmarks and other information.

Whether it be music, food, history, changemakers, or family traditions, we're looking forward to continuing the celebration and expanding our appreciation and knowledge of Latine and Hispanic heritage and culture throughout the year.

In Computer Science, Class V students performed a “computer dissection” to further understand what makes something a computer, how information is processed internally, and how the different parts work together. They also learned that machine code, aka binary, is a two digit system made up of 0 and 1 and how computers can express letters in binary. To deepen their understanding, they wrote the initials of their first and last name in binary and then made bracelets representing the letters and the code. Thank you to Ms. Tobajas for sharing this content!
