Adapting and Innovating
THE WIZARD OF OZ Digital art students designed the set backdrops for the Middle School musical production, The Wizard of Oz, which was filmed using a green screen instead of performing live.
FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL ROBS was the first private school of its peers to open for in-person instruction in August 2020. Lower School and Middle School opened in hybrid models with half of the students on campus and half virtual, alternating daily (LS) and weekly (MS). All Preschoolers attended on campus in reduced class sizes. With ROBS as the example, Houston-area peer schools opened their campuses in the weeks that followed.
The 2020-21 school year confirmed, above all, that school is a human endeavor requiring human contact and connection. Platforms like Zoom helped bridge the distance, but they’ll never replace the joyful learning that occurs through shared experiences in shared spaces.
