Sycamore was great prep for high school, with time for deep dives into topics at Sycamore, especially in Middle School. Sycamore gave the girls a well-rounded education.

Looking back at the years the family spent at Sycamore, Bob says some of their best memories of his daughters attending Sycamore were built around the special programs and traditions. “The show and tell for Priya in EC was a favorite because we loved the kids’ curiosity, and also the Choir and Band programs. Eileen Prince giving my wife and me and two other parents a tour of the Chicago Art Museum was a highlight.” Moorthy says he thinks some of the most important traits about a Sycamore education that his daughters carried forward in their lives were learned outside the classroom, during field trips and events. “Discipline and hard work were instilled in 3rd Grade onward,” he says. “Creativity was always encouraged in the fine arts and music. Sycamore was great prep for high school, with time for deep dives into topics at Sycamore, especially in Middle School. Sycamore gave the girls a well-rounded education.” As a longtime supporter of Sycamore, Moorthy says he still gets excited when he gets to be a part of something happening at the school. “Meeting young parents and their curious children and hearing from Diane Borgmann are highlights, and seeing former teachers and their concern for our children. The school has built a great reputation in the community to spur broad support beyond just the families. Everyone at Sycamore is like family, even 10 or 15 years after we left.” •
