THE HEART OF MIDDLE SCHOOL

Dr. Alexandra Channell, Head of Middle School

As the new Head of Middle School, I prioritized faculty check-ins at the start of the year. I was deeply inspired by the collective passion our faculty shares for middle-school education and the over arching growth of students. Our faculty serve as the heart of our Middle School, imparting essential knowledge and skills while sustaining and nurturing an atmosphere brimming with joy and enthusiasm. 

TVS Middle School embodies a unique and precious blend of vulnerability, energy, silliness, seriousness and fun that is nothing short of magical. To celebrate this, I invited Middle School faculty to contribute their unique expressions of a poem, image, or quote that reflects our love for TVS, this dynamic stage of life, and echoes our rally cry of “Boundless Possibility.” Together, these voices illuminate the heart within our wonderful community.
