Senior School
"The focus of the Senior School at St. Mildred's Lightbourn School is meeting the needs of girls as they grow through the physical, emotional and intellectual phases from Grade 7 to Grade 12. In a girl-focused supportive and challenging environment, students are encouraged to discover their passion as they learn about themselves and how they learn." --Head of School, Dorothy Byers

Famous quotes containing the words senior and/or school:
“Adolescents have the right to be themselves. The fact that you were the belle of the ball, the captain of the lacrosse team, the president of your senior class, Phi Beta Kappa, or a political activist doesn’t mean that your teenager will be or should be the same....Likewise, the fact that you were a wallflower, uncoordinated, and a C student shouldn’t mean that you push your child to be everything you were not.”
—Laurence Steinberg (20th century)
“The first rule of education for me was discipline. Discipline is the keynote to learning. Discipline has been the great factor in my life. I discipline myself to do everything—getting up in the morning, walking, dancing, exercise. If you won’t have discipline, you won’t have a nation. We can’t have permissiveness. When someone comes in and says, “Oh, your room is so quiet,” I know I’ve been successful.”
—Rose Hoffman, U.S. public school third-grade teacher. As quoted in Working, book 8, by Studs Terkel (1973)
