What makes your independent school thrive? We recently heard from The Browning School: "The Browning School's signature program, the Certificates of Distinction, gives our students the opportunity to pursue their academic passions, allowing them greater agency over their learning through independent inquiry. Centered on four disciplines—engineering, data science, humanities and fine arts—this program allows students who are self-directed and consistently going above and beyond coursework requirements to be recognized for their outstanding achievements." Learn more: https://bit.ly/3MUUQDx As we get ready for Thrive 2025, the NAIS annual conference, we'd like to hear from you! Tell us what makes your independent school thrive by posting here with #NAISThrive.

A fascinating case for “Lighthouse Parents” from Russell Shaw, head of school at Georgetown Day School for The Atlantic:
Sometimes the best thing a parent can do is nothing at all, Russell Shaw writes. https://lnkd.in/eS97V6vQ “I’ve spent the past 30 years working in schools, and I’ve watched thousands of parents engage with educators and with their children. Too often, I watch parents overfunctioning—depriving their kids of the confidence that comes from struggling and persevering, and exhausting themselves in the process,” Shaw writes. The problem seems to be growing more acute as parents worry that their children will be less well off than they are. The urge to prevent our children’s suffering has led to pop-culture mythology around pushy parenting styles, including the “Helicopter Parent,” who flies in to rescue a child in crisis, and the “Snowplow Parent,” who flattens any obstacle in their child’s way. But “a young person who grows accustomed to having a parent intervene on his behalf begins to believe that he’s not capable of acting on his own, feeding both anxiety and dependence,” Shaw continues. “If children never have the opportunity to stand on their own, we risk setting them up for a collapse later on.” Shaw instead makes the case for a “Lighthouse Parent”: “Like a lighthouse that helps sailors avoid crashing into rocks, Lighthouse Parents provide firm boundaries and emotional support while allowing their children the freedom to navigate their own challenges. They demonstrate that they trust their kids to handle difficult situations independently. The key is learning when to step back and let them find their own way.” Read more: https://lnkd.in/eS97V6vQ

Independent schools are increasingly facing pressure to comment publicly on national and global events. Many are finding doing so increasingly fraught and untenable. We encourage schools to discuss both their guiding principles as well as the practical considerations for when they feel it is appropriate to comment publicly. Articulating a methodology to be used internally, one that is aligned with your mission and values, is an essential component to managing community expectations. Not sure where to start? We're here to help!

Tomorrow, Saturday, September 21 is the United Nations #InternationalDayofPeace. Now more than ever, schools are regularly expected to speak out about national or #worldevents —and often pressured to take sides. Take too long to respond or make a statement that’s too harsh or too soft, and a situation can spiral out of control at the speed of social media. So, what is the answer? Contact the #crisis and #strategiccommunications experts at #TheJaneGroup. For 25 years, #TJG has been the premier #crisiscommunications firm working exclusively with #independentschools.
