On Campus & Torreys on the Road

What is special about a school like LJCDS is its robust alumni network. One of the school’s top priorities is fostering lifelong engagement with alumni. Every year, LJCDS welcomes alumni back on campus for the annual Alumni Weekend, reunions and alumni games. In fall 2022, LJCDS went on the road and hosted regional events in New York, Seattle and Boston. These gatherings united Torreys of all ages, creating wonderful networking and mentoring opportunities.

I

Contributing doesn’t just mean financially, but with time and love. Being a part of this has introduced me to so many people from different walks of life.

I hope to teach them to be brave, to be upstanders, to agree and disagree, to collaborate, to be caring and empathetic. It doesn’t matter how old they are. They’re capable of so many things as our future leaders. I just want my students to know that they can do big things to make the world a better place.

If you do everything perfectly, that doesn’t necessarily mean our music will turn out perfectly. We need to work with everyone else to make sure that all the parts fit together. Everyone is part of the group; everyone matters.

We are a school where teachers have a love for children and learning, and a commitment to evolving their pedagogy. They are selfless, tireless and committed. Our teachers motivate one another and their students to grow personally and as teammates. Each year in their classes, they scout individual strengths and areas of growth, so in turn each child can have a sense of agency and personal investment.

Our seniors can now successfully embrace moments of uncertainty. They look around until they are inspired by something they observe. During that time, they teach themselves new skills, find workarounds for many problems, debug and problem-solve as they go.
