A glimpse into Lovett's classrooms

The Lovett School is known for its unique programs--our research station in Ecuador, single-gender classrooms, interdisciplinary studies. It's been that way ever since educator Eva Edwards Lovett founded the school in 1926.

 

It is education which is progressing continually in order to keep in step with the constant changes occurring in the world around us. It is a changing education for a changing civilization," wrote Mrs. Lovett.

Here at Lovett, we still heed Mrs. Lovett's words. We offer a broad liberal arts curriculum designed to prepare our students for college and for life in the 21st Century.

  • To Tell a Story

    Well over a year ago, English teacher Jonathan Newman set out on a grand experiment. An ardent devotee of public radio, Mr. Newman has always been a fan of "This American Life," a show that tells thematic stories through a combination of narration, interview, and a well-placed soundtrack.

21st Century Learning

At The Lovett School, 21st Century learning is defined by a rigorous curriculum emphasizing the development of self-directed learners who are proficient researchers, collaborators, communicators, creators, and global citizens. The work of “school” is authentic, relevant, and subsequently engaging. Complex communication tools and networks enable learning to extend beyond the walls of the classroom and across time and place. This definition is provided by Laura Deisley, Lovett’s Director of 21st Century Learning.
