One Student’s Perspective of the Annex

For Upper School Senior Elisa, who studies STEM and humanities subjects, the refurbished Annex brings a new sense of connectedness and excitement to her learning. Elisa '25 comments, “It always felt like the Humanities had a bit of an advantage and that STEM was part of a second campus. Now, it looks and feels like one.”

In the Physics Lab Elisa '25 finds more space to design new experiments. She has also observed a greater sense of connection among faculty and comments, “I think the new spaces are making it easier for teachers to work together. Seeing teachers collaborating is really important. I want to be around people who are interested in things that I know nothing about but are eager to share thoughts and ideas. This is what I am looking for in College.”

Having Math and Latin classes in the Annex adds to her sense of connection. Elisa explains, “Both subjects are like solving puzzles and it is exciting to bridge the Humanities and STEM inside the Annex.”
