Commitment The connection that our faculty and staff forge with students is fundamental to BB&N’s success.

Job #1 for me is to support that connection.

Cutting Edge

3 Goal of the Report

BB&N’s academic program is absolutely our calling card.

Where can we best adapt pedagogy & curriculum to remain cutting-edge in the educational landscape?

Inclusion The school should be proud of its longstanding commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Further work, however, still awaits in this realm.

Balance

10 Sense of Community

How much is too much?

It’s essential for a high-performing academic school like BB&N to figure out that balance for our students.

12 A Semester of Honor, Scholarship, and Kindness

uKnighted!

Equitable for All Socioeconomic inequality is a challenge noted by many. How do we make the BB&N experience equitable for all who attend?

“uKnighted” is not just a word on a T-shirt. It’s a desire shared by all our constituents for a more cohesive, schoolwide community.

Transformative

BB&N transforms lives; our alumni/ae speak powerfully to this impactful legacy.

When I began at BB&N this summer, I knew the first few months would be crucial ones for me to learn as much as possible about the strengths, the stories, the history, the traditions, and the people of BB&N, as well as the exciting opportunities waiting for this amazing school.

For the first four months, I engaged in an extensive, far-ranging entry tour. It included three dozen “Listening Tour” meetings with groups and individuals, attended by more than 400 members of our community, and a survey with more than 1,200 participants. This process, supplemented by the scores of interactions I’ve enjoyed each day on our campuses since the start of school, has provided me with an incredibly helpful array of perspectives on how our constituents— students, faculty and staff, alumni/ae, parents, grandparents, and trustees—think and feel about this school we all share in common.

On November 8th, I shared my Entry Process results with the BB&N community in a presentation held at the Upper School Theater (this presentation can be viewed at www.bbns.org/entry-report).

I’m so appreciative of the warm welcome extended to me and my family these past several months from all members of the BB&N community. This is a remarkable place and it’s frankly impossible not to be inspired by the shared dedication and investment of this community as we work together to support and advance the school’s number-one strength: our incredible students.

Thank you all, and Go Knights!

Dr. Jennifer Price Head of School December 2018

GOAL OF REPORT The goal of this report is to summarize my entry findings in a manner that begins to chart the course for Buckingham Browne & Nichols School for the next several years.

The introduction of a new head offers a natural opportunity for our school to explore the most basic, and essential, of questions: So, how are we doing?

Perhaps my favorite question during my entry tour was: Give me one piece of advice as I start my tenure as head of school. Interestingly, the top three responses to that question (see page 23) mirror exactly what my Entry Tour was designed to accomplish:

1

BE PRESENT

2

LISTEN

3

COMMUNICATE

By understanding how the members of our community feel about the BB&N that our students experience every day, we are able to effectively outline the strengths and challenges facing the school.

This in turn establishes the crucial foundation to help guide our community over the next nine months as we collaboratively develop a comprehensive, thoughtful, and methodical plan to shape the next generation of educational excellence at BB&N.

PROCESS

PARENT MEETINGS

BB&N is a sprawling, dynamic school, with four distinct campuses spread across historic Cambridge, 1,015 students who live in 85 different towns and cities, 275 faculty and staff members, and 6,700 alumni/ae who are making their mark on the world at large. Although the merged BB&N is a relatively young 44 years old, the school’s forebears, Browne & Nichols School and Buckingham School, combine to give our present-day school a proud, 220-year legacy.

Which is all to say, BB&N can be a complicated place to get to know. Upon my arrival at the school on July 1, 2018, I was determined to navigate that process in a thoughtful, comprehensive, and consistent manner. I also wanted to use my entry tour as a means to generate practical, actionable data about BB&N’s strengths and its opportunities for growth.

In mid-June, I sent an online survey to 6,700 members of our community (students from Grades 5-12, parents, faculty/staff, and alumni/ae).

Of that group, 1,295 community members logged on to the survey (percentages denote share of that particular constituent group):

82%

50%

34%

7%

In addition to my formal entry process, I have spent the last six months immersed in the life of BB&N. I have been a consistent presence on all of our campuses, on our athletic sidelines, at our plays and concerts, and at our parent and community events. I have also dug into the finances and operations of our school and learned about the history of our combined schools.

Beyond the charts and graphs that I will be presenting in this report, I have learned so much about this community by listening to the stories of our students, faculty, staff, parents, grandparents, and alumni/ae. Many of these stories have showcased the best of BB&N and some have highlighted areas where we can clearly do better moving forward.

The data gathered from my formal entry process, coupled with my observations over the last six months, provide the basis for this report. Together they begin to tell the story of where we have been as an institution and provide a blueprint for where we hope to go from here.

Throughout the summer and early fall, I also attended 35 separate small-group meetings with parents, alumni/ae, and faculty/staff.

• 12 parent-hosted meetings around Greater Boston (204 attendees) • 11 alumni/ae meetings in Boston, NYC, Washington, DC, Los Angeles, and San Francisco (70 attendees) • 12 on-campus meetings with faculty and staff (147 attendees) At these meetings, I asked the attendees the same questions included in the survey, in order to generate consistent data from our constituents.

When the entry tour concluded, we coded each response to generate quantitative metrics that will inform the strategic planning work that awaits us. In the charts that follow, it’s important to note that a single response from a constituent could have addressed more than one issue, and only the most common responses are reported.

FINDINGS — STRENGTHS My entry survey and meetings were framed by two “big-picture” questions designed to uncover both the school’s strengths and the areas for improvement:

What are the best aspects of BB&N that I should make every effort to preserve?

What does BB&N most need to work on?

These two “macro level” questions were followed by several more granular questions that allowed me to drill deeper into the findings.

I will start by addressing the “Strengths” findings for BB&N, which are ample (see righthand page).

The variety of ways in which BB&N impacts and transforms students’ lives is impressively broad. Quite understandably, the school’s stellar academic reputation is reflected prominently in the two highest responses on this chart: Academic Program and Faculty-Student Connection. Just as noteworthy are the next three highest responses, which demonstrate our community’s appreciation for the significant commitment and progress the school has made over the past two decades in respect to its core values of inclusion and kindness.

Athletics and Arts both have a long history at our school of being touchstone experiences for so many students. And Bivouac is perhaps the most distinctive BB&N experience, and one which resonates very meaningfully for so many participants.

STRENGTHS — ACADEMICS

STRENGTHS — DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION

The academic experience is, of course, the crown jewel of BB&N. The biggest factor by far in that extraordinary experience, according to our constituents, is the close connection that is uniformly fostered between our faculty/staff and our students.

BB&N has a long history of being committed to a diverse community and to ensuring that all kids can bring their whole selves to our school. At one of my entry meetings, an alumnus noted that BB&N’s values are exemplified by its ampersand: a symbol of connection, of each individual adding genuine, immeasurable value to the whole.

“BB&N is a school where the hard worker is smart, and a smart person is ‘cool.’ We are a community of motivated people who want to do well.”

“The faculty are friendly, caring, and devoted.

This image of the typical BB&N teacher—someone who goes above and beyond and connects with their students on a personal level—is definitely worth preserving.”

“I felt known and cared for by all of my teachers, something I value to this day. I’m still very close with my past teachers and advisors.”

“Having a school filled with people of varying backgrounds, opinions, and perspectives helps, not hinders, learning.”

STRENGTHS — SENSE OF COMMUNITY Despite the challenges inherent in building a strong sense of community—due to being an independent day school with three separate campuses—our school’s constituents indicate that having a robust community does mean a great deal to them. Currently at BB&N, it seems that sense of community is occurring successfully at the intra-campus levels, though not as much at the “cross-campus, all school” level.

“BB&N makes inclusion and acceptance of differences an absolute must. Our children learn not to view things as ‘differences’ but instead embrace them.”

“In terms of working with children, we try our best to be intentional about building community and helping the children learn that they are part of a larger whole.”

“I loved Biv and served as a Junior Guide. I think it’s a fantastic way to start off high school.”

A SEMESTER OF HONOR, SCHOLARSHIP, AND KINDNESS Surveys and small-group entry meetings notwithstanding, I learned the most about BB&N this fall through my daily travels from campus to campus.

In the classrooms, labs, and studios; on the stage, courts, and fields—that’s where the magic of our school happens every day. Shown here are just a few snapshots of the many magic moments I was lucky to see this fall.

4 Dr. Price hosted the annual, always spirited Golden Alumni/ae Luncheon (alums who have graduated 50+ years ago) at her house in October.

6 The girls soccer team (Victoria Huang ’21 shown here) and boys football team enjoyed postseason success this fall—the girls were New England Class A Semifinalists and the boys claimed both the ISL and New England Class A Championships.

FINDINGS — OPPORTUNITIES FOR GROWTH A structured entry process is useful because it helps shine a light on areas where our school can improve its offerings and focus. I find it revealing that three of the top four responses (see chart below) to this question—Diversity/Equity/Inclusion, Sense of Community, and Academic Program— parallel areas that are also identified as strengths for BB&N. This shows that while our school may be on the right path in these critical areas, important work still awaits us as we determine how best to refine and enhance our strategies and approach. The second highest response— Balance—reflects a national discourse in which schools are seeking to create a healthy middle ground between the demands of the school and social-emotional wellness for students.

Over the next four pages, I’ll dig deeper into some of these key findings regarding BB&N’s opportunities for growth.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR GROWTH — DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION

OPPORTUNITIES FOR GROWTH — BALANCE, HOMEWORK, AND STRESS

Our constituents noted diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) issues as both a strength and an opportunity for growth. One area identified consistently was the need to better address socioeconomic status. I met an alumnus this summer who expressed it well: “Leaving BB&N,” he said, “I felt so strongly prepared to talk about issues of race, ethnicity, and sexual orientation. But I felt very unprepared to talk about issues of class.” This is clearly an area for us to address at BB&N—not only in the way socioeconomic status informs the composition of our community, but also in the way we educate our students around this important topic.

The challenge for BB&N here is finding that elusive sweet spot between academic excellence, for which the school is so well known, and the social/emotional well-being of our students. These need not be mutually exclusive goals: both are vitally important, and both can happen. If we were to implement no new initiative at BB&N over the next decade except for creating a more balanced environment for all our students to thrive in, then we would count ourselves wildly successful.

“Make sure that our students on financial aid feel fully part of the community and are not marginalized in small ways that will feel big to them.”

“It is a burden for financial aid families to keep up with additional expenses at the school. I hope the school will keep offering support.”

“I want my daughter to know multiple other kids of gay families, not just one or two every other year. I would like my daughter to have a classroom where there are as many students of color as there are white students.”

“The amount of homework needs to be reduced because it can be overwhelming. It makes it really difficult for students to keep up with everything and become more well-rounded.”

“We need to look holistically at the schedule and determine whether what we ask our students to do is reasonable. Further, we need to do a better job of providing them with tools to manage stress, anxiety, and expectations.”

OPPORTUNITIES FOR GROWTH — SENSE OF COMMUNITY

OPPORTUNITIES FOR GROWTH — ACADEMIC PROGRAM

The dominant theme emerging here is the desire for a greater sense of all-school togetherness, for more unity among our campuses. Our “uKnighted” theme, unveiled at the start of the year with a T-shirt giveaway to all students, faculty, and staff, has been met with great enthusiasm.

And we have focused on improving all-school unity among our faculty and staff at our opening meeting, our October professional day, and our continuing commitment to encourage teachers of the same disciplines across all three campuses to meet with each other throughout the year.

When I asked the question, “In what area should BB&N strive to be seen as a national leader?” the runaway winner was Academics. A robust, expansive, broad-minded academic experience that pushes students to the depth and distance of their abilities is the long-standing calling card of our school. The exciting opportunity before us is to think critically about specific areas where we want to adapt pedagogy and curriculum to remain on the forefront of the educational landscape. This will help us better prepare our students to thrive and lead in our ever-changing world.

“School spirit seems lower at BB&N than other independent schools I have seen. The physical break between the US, MS, and LS seems part of this—with little sense of ‘all school’ unity.”

“We need to keep building bridges across all our campuses to ensure that we are one school with common purposes and goals.”

“BB&N attracts naturally competitive students, but I wish the community were more collaborative than competitive.”

“Building the next generation of leaders will require a balance in academics, compassion, listening, community engagement, and willingness to protest and stand up for beliefs.”

“I hope that we’ll be seen as a leader in educating robust, broad-minded, well-rounded, grounded, resilient, self-sufficient students excelling in academics and one or two other areas.”

“BB&N at its best is a school that provides a healthy balance of strong academics and emotional health.”

Communication

Advice for Me

“More teacher-to-parent communication would be great. Not sure if the reports we receive from our student always reflect the thoughts of the teachers.”

“BB&N has been careful to communicate with alumni/ae concerning its problematic issues from the past. I have never felt closer to the school. I hope the school will also create this feeling around more positive topics.”

“Be clear in communication; invite community members to have a voice. It will help build us up as one community with allies across all campuses.”

“Have a presence on the campuses and make yourself seen. Be engaged and involved every day. Take care of this school, please. It is truly amazing.”

“Remember how many diamonds in the rough are out there with limited access to resources. Give them a chance through financial aid and you’ve changed their whole family’s trajectory for generations to come.”

“The students of BB&N are proud of their school; they are passionate and compassionate; they are full of energy and an incredible resource to tap into.”
