It’s a term high schools around the world use to refer to their focus on preparing students for college or university. While college is absolutely on the immediate horizon for all of our students, we want to expand the realm of ‘preparation’ to more than just college. Proctor Academy prepares students for life. ## [Proctor Alumni: Derek Beard '90 Visits Forestry and Wildlife Science Classes](https://blogs.proctoracademy.org/proctor-alumni-derek-beard-90-visits-forestry-and-wildlife-science-classes) Sep 28, 2016 9:45:04 PM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://blogs.proctoracademy.org/hubfs/Blog_Pics/Alumni/2016-2017_Alumni_Stories/IMG_3764-2.jpg)](https://blogs.proctoracademy.org/proctor-alumni-derek-beard-90-visits-forestry-and-wildlife-science-classes) When Derek Beard ‘90 arrived on Proctor’s campus as a sophomore in the fall of 1987 he already had an affection for the outdoors. Growing up on a large plot of land in Connecticut, Derek loved to spend time exploring outside and felt fortunate to have parents who recognized and encournaged his love of nature. His forestry class with Dave Pilla during his senior year simply solidified that passion. On Wednesday morning, Derek returned to Proctor's campus to share his professional work as a forester for the state of Massachusetts with another generation of budding Proctor foresters. ## [Academic Lens: Freedom and Security](https://blogs.proctoracademy.org/academic-lens-outside-the-box) Sep 20, 2016 1:14:31 PM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://blogs.proctoracademy.org/hubfs/Blog_Pics/Academic_Lens/2016-2017_Academic_Lens_Photos/Outside_the_Box/IMG_2651.jpg)](https://blogs.proctoracademy.org/academic-lens-outside-the-box) As educators, we endeavor to simultaneously provide students with a sense of freedom and a sense of security. This quest for balance has challenged parents and teachers for centuries. Different generations have witnessed the pendulum of independence swing back and forth depending on the prevailing norms of the time. What we know at Proctor is the adolescent brain biologically craves independence, but is only able to pursue that independence when surrounded by a nurturing community. ## [Mike's Notes: Remember the Wilderness](https://blogs.proctoracademy.org/mikes-notes-remember-the-wilderness) Sep 16, 2016 8:11:02 AM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://blogs.proctoracademy.org/hubfs/Blog_Pics/Mikes_Notes/2016-2017_Mikes_Notes/IMG_1957.jpg)](https://blogs.proctoracademy.org/mikes-notes-remember-the-wilderness) The mountains already seem distant. The bottomless swimming hole on the Cold River, the wind and view on the ridge leading up to Sandwich Dome, the rolling thunder on Sunday morning near Pond Brook – it all fades after the first few days of the campus schedule. Classes, assemblies, sports, the new Dining Commons, the spectacular weather, dorm meetings, advisory meetings – this is the new rhythm. ## [Proctor Community: We're Back! ](https://blogs.proctoracademy.org/proctor-community-were-back) Sep 12, 2016 2:41:36 PM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://blogs.proctoracademy.org/hubfs/Blog_Pics/Community/2016-2017/Were_Back/IMG_2030.jpg)](https://blogs.proctoracademy.org/proctor-community-were-back) Proctor’s start to the school year is probably more staggered than most schools. The sequence of faculty/staff meetings, International Student Transitions Program, [Wilderness Orientation](https://blogs.proctoracademy.org/wilderness-orientation-2016-theyre-off), and [Preseason Sports Camp](https://blogs.proctoracademy.org/proctor-athletics-sports-camp-2016) culminates in a busy Sunday afternoon before the start of classes when the entire community joins together on campus for the first time. ## [Wilderness Orientation 2016: They're Off!](https://blogs.proctoracademy.org/wilderness-orientation-2016-theyre-off) Sep 7, 2016 9:36:08 AM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://blogs.proctoracademy.org/hubfs/Blog_Pics/Community/2016-2017/Wilderness_Orientation_2016/unnamed_1.jpg)](https://blogs.proctoracademy.org/wilderness-orientation-2016-theyre-off) New Proctor families gathered on campus Tuesday before [Wilderness Orientation](https://blogs.proctoracademy.org/wilderness-orientation-the-lessons-youll-learn) groups departed for five days of hiking and camping in the White Mountains. Proctor’s deep commitment to beginning the year in this fashion may make some families uncomfortable as they watch their teenagers step into the unknown carrying a 30+ pound pack, a sleeping bag, and tarp to sleep under, but we know Wilderness Orientation is the best possible way to start at a new school. ## [Finding Yourself: Proctor's Gift to Each Student](https://blogs.proctoracademy.org/finding-yourself-proctors-gift-to-each-student) Aug 24, 2016 2:46:46 PM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://blogs.proctoracademy.org/hubfs/Blog_Pics/Mikes_Notes/2015-2016_Mikes_Notes_Images/Mikes_Notes_10_2_15/IMG_9184.jpg)](https://blogs.proctoracademy.org/finding-yourself-proctors-gift-to-each-student) In a recent note to teachers, Dean of Faculty Karl Methven referenced Douglas Heath’s 1994 book **[Schools of Hope](https://www.amazon.com/Schools-Hope-Douglas-H-Heath/dp/0964172755)**, in which Proctor’s approach to education is heralded as a model for others to follow. Each year, Proctor’s faculty recommits to our philosophical roots, with a renewed understanding of Proctor’s approach to education, and a deeper appreciation of why the Proctor Experience has been, and continues to be, the most effective way to educate teenagers. ## [What You Gain In A Boarding School Community](https://blogs.proctoracademy.org/what-you-gain-in-a-boarding-school-community) Aug 17, 2016 10:38:54 AM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://blogs.proctoracademy.org/hubfs/Blog_Pics/Community/2016-2017/Joining_Community/Community_2.jpg)](https://blogs.proctoracademy.org/what-you-gain-in-a-boarding-school-community) Ask any of Proctor’s Social Science teachers about Thomas Hobbes and John Locke and they will eagerly offer an explanation of social contracts and the rationale for forming communities around agreed upon rules and structures in order to preserve life and liberty. Whenever we join a community (nation, state, town, school, church, service club, or otherwise), we voluntarily sacrifice some of our individual freedoms because we believe the benefits gained from living in community outweigh the cost of forgone individual rights. Each of us makes this same decision when we join the Proctor community.
