Our Alumni are Special
Center alumni are not hard to spot. They are kind, bright leaders who are prepared for, and find joy in, navigating the world.
Alumni Council
The CEE Alumni Council is made up of a diverse group of adult Center graduates who gather to collaborate in support of CEE. Whether it’s creating care packages for college freshmen, helping a Center class make sandwiches for the hungry, or participating in our annual Gala or Alumni Poker Night, there are many exciting ways to stay connected and involved with The Center. The Alumni Council meets 4-5 times a year on campus and participates in committees such as Networking, Annual Fund, Events, and the Community Service Award program.
Student Secondary School Placement Process
Great care and thought goes into guiding and supporting each child during the many transitions they make at The Center. After incredible growth and learning, the last major transition a Center student makes is preparing to leave and enter secondary school. We want the secondary school admissions and selection process to thoughtfully support a child’s experience in separating from The Center, saying goodbye, and eventually entering into a new learning environment. The Center provides expertise and resources to guide this transition. The Director of Student Placement, working in conjunction with the Head of School, leads the student outplacement process starting in the spring of the child’s 5th grade year. While the secondary school admissions process has universal requirements like application questions, interviews, grades, and standardized testing, The Center takes a highly individualized, tailored approach to working with each family within the graduating class. In the most recent admissions season, over 90% of Center families earned placement into their school of choice. For the last five years, The Center has placed all of our 6th grade students in at least one secondary school. We are proud that all families in 2019-20 demonstrating financial need were offered placement with a financial aid grant.
