Fall Trip Recap: 10th Grade Trip to Camp Collins
The annual 10th grade fall trip to Camp Collins was all about connection, challenge, and stepping outside of your comfort zone. From ropes courses and zip lining to hiking, river walks, beach games, and plenty of cabin hangouts, students stretched themselves, made new friends, and built community from day one of the 2026-27 school year.

"After our really long, tiring days, we would just hang out, play games with each other, and we really got to know new people," said Stella Z. '29. "We made a lot of new friends on the trip."

Ring. The. Bell.
Chimes from our school's Belltower rang out 157 times this morning, and the 2026-27 school year is officially underway! At our annual Opening Belltower Ceremony, we welcomed 144 new students and 25 new faculty and staff members, and celebrated 157 years of community. Featuring words from Chaplains Mel Robinson and Jeremy Innis, Head of School The Rev. Michael Spencer, Board President Paul Ehrlich, and Student Body President MacLean P. '27, the ceremony concluded with our fifth graders taking turns ringing the bell, a favorite OES tradition.

"So this year, let’s bravely take chances, build relationships, and push our own boundaries," MacLean said. "Let's have fun. Let’s enjoy this year and the years to come to the fullest."

Here’s to a year of learning, growing, taking chances, showing up for one another, and using our power for good. Welcome back to school, Aardvarks!

13 countries. Countless stories. One OES community.

Last night, our boarding students came together for a block party to kick off the new school year, featuring delicious boba drinks, a video game truck with tons of games, yard games, and reconnection with friends. As campus leaders, mentors, and scholars, these students bring the world to OES. Welcome home, Aardvarks!

Summer at OES 2026 may have come to a close last week, but the memories made will last a lifetime. As camper Emilia K. '35 put it, "I like OES summer camp because you get to explore and have fun and go on field trips." This summer, our campers climbed, explored, created, competed, performed, made new friends, and discovered new ways to challenge themselves. From the ropes course to the theater stage to adventures across the region, campers made the most of every day.

"Huge thanks to our incredible summer crew," Interim Director of Summer Programs Jessica Zodrow said. "Together, we kept our campers safe, happy, and full of fun while bringing the true spirit of 'Camp OES' to life. It’s rare to have a team work so smoothly and effortlessly together, and it was an absolute joy working alongside them."

From international dorm student to pioneering entrepreneur, alumna Yunha Kim ’07 was asked by the Class of 2026 to deliver their commencement address in June. Drawing on her experiences navigating a new language, building community in the dorms, and finding her path beyond OES, Yunha encouraged the grads to pay attention to their "inner weather" and remember that their worth extends far beyond their achievements. Today, Yunha is the founder and chairwoman of Sleep Reset and previously founded the mindfulness platform Simple Habit, and her journey reflects the lasting impact of an OES education.
