Teaching Excellence Initiative
Makes a Difference by Bekah Wright
When Kevin Yi ’24 was ready to enter high school, he knew exactly where he wanted to attend: Choate. “Kevin has grown more mature, open-minded, and responsible since being at Choate,” his mother Jennifer Ho P ’24, ’25 observes. Head of School Alex D. Curtis isn’t surprised. “Teaching is at the heart of Choate. Boarding school faculty are so incredibly important,” he says. “They’re committed to the craft. For them, teaching is a calling, a way of life.” Through Choate Rosemary Hall’s Teaching Excellence Initiative, Choate, in turn, is expressing its commitment to these dedicated individuals by increasing salaries. Curtis says, “Teaching is transformative, and Choate is committed to maintaining the excellence that has been the School’s hallmark.”
