‘It helps you develop study skills...and really think about what you’re learning’ Shana Paster, 2012 Graduate The Nora School, Silver Spring
I feel the material we learned at Nora will be useful later in life. The work I completed at Nora makes me feel confident I can
handle whatever college throws at me.

The Nora School is truly a unique school that I’m proud to say I have graduated from. The workload doesn’t necessarily correspond to the amount of material learned, but I can say that it helps you develop study skills, learn not to procrastinate and really think about what you’re learning.
When I began at Nora my sophomore year, I was hesitant about what to expect. I realized on that first day that there were other students in the same position as me. I felt like I could make friends easily as well as fit in. Nora’s small-knit community has left me with lifelong friendships and I couldn’t be happier about the people I’ve met and bonded with.
‘What I learned is that I am intelligent and have the ability to learn just like anyone else’ Kiara Hughes, 2012 Graduate Katherine Thomas School, Rockville
I felt comfortable being in an environment where people were just like me. I wasn’t afraid to ask for help and just be myself. I August 2012
never knew that I would be able to graduate high school until I came to KTHS. I thought I would never be able to get a diploma. What I learned most about myself is that I am intelligent and have the ability to learn just like anyone else. It may take a little time, but it’s possible.

KTHS prepared me for the future by giving me additional time and instructions on my class work, homework, quizzes and tests. The teachers were very pleasant and helpful. They made my learning experience great.
