LETTER FROM THE HEADMASTER
Dear Flint Hill School Family, Last year was an adventure that none of us could’ve imagined. We had to balance the dynamics of having students on campus all year long and, at the same time, allowing students to attend virtually if the family chose that option. In the end, we are proud that Flint Hill was the only JK-12 school in Northern Virginia to open on campus at the beginning of the 2020–21 school year. The thing that has always stood out about Flint Hill is that everything we do is intentional, deliberate, strategic and, now more than ever, safe. The protocols we put in place: monitoring the health of our students, faculty and staff daily; keeping adequate distances; maintaining small class sizes; wiping down furniture hourly — made sure we did our best to keep everyone safe and healthy. Our guiding goal was to continue to learn together. So much took place last year that challenged everyone’s sense of well-being, both emotionally and physically. Despite these challenges, our students had the grit, resilience and determination to engage in ways that we found truly remarkable. Our outstanding faculty also rose to the occasion in ways that were not just impressive but also awe-inspiring. They make me proud every day and continue to be our students’ strongest advocates. We awarded the entire faculty and staff the 2020–21 Driving Spirit Award as a fitting tribute to their commitment and sense of passion. 2
