One of the cornerstones of the Randolph School's
mission is to provide our students
and their families with a lasting community. They partner with
the teachers to create a warm, loving environment for all to share.
There are several feasts and events through
the year that strengthen our sense of community. Our parents cook
side by side with the students and teachers when we prepare the
annual feasts.
The student's parents join together to form our
Parent Group. Its mission is threefold.
First they provide a support group for all of the parents by having
speakers and lectures on a wide variety of relevant topics. Second,
they sponsor social events for families to come together and create
stronger bonds outside of the regular school day. Thirdly, the
Parent Group holds events that help to raise funds for various
programs through the school. In 2004-05 they held an auction that
raised the funds to send a teacher to Italy to study at Regio
Emilia. She brought back skills that will be implemented and
integrated within the fabric of Randolph School. They also raised
money for a weather station for the Upstairs program and new science
equipment for the Upper School. Parents are also welcome to come
to school and share a recipe, story or skill.
Our alumni are our proud
legacy. They remain a constant source of inspiration for the teachers
and their many visits entice our current students with their tales
of life after Randolph. Many have remained in contact with former
classmates and others have returned to work at Randolph School.
They have gone to Ivy League schools, won Pulitzer Prizes for
Journalism and have experiments that have been launched on the
Space Shuttle. They send their children to Randolph School and
return to teach their passions to our current students. Their
smiles and stories are a strong testament to the lasting strength
of their experiences at Randolph School.

The Randolph School is a teacher's cooperative.
The teachers have the responsibility of caring for the students,
maintaining the building and grounds and creating the curriculum.
The faculty is composed of a team of
committed individuals who have come together to provide their
students the benefits of their experiences and interests. Working
together, the teachers create an environment that allows the students
to explore their hopes and dreams while also providing them with
the life skills necessary to face the 21st century.
The members of our Board of
Trustees are charged with advising and supervising the administrative
committee, the teachers and staff. They are a valuable resource
that are used to provide insight and advice for the maintenance
and strengthening of The Randolph School. Their skills and experiences
assist and guide the teachers and the administrators as they work
together to build a better school for the future.
