What’s the Middle School experience like at Montrose? Hear from both teachers and students as they tell us about Montrose’s signature programs and diverse opportunities for this highly developmental time in a student’s life.

Head of School Dr. Karen Bohlin talks with parents from Montrose and the wider community about how they can help give young women the habits of mind, heart and character that they need to lead. From the importance of making mistakes, and how to overcome them, to the benefit of making one small change, Dr. Bohlin covers the pitfalls and opportunities that lay wait in any given day of parenting. Most of all, she encourages parents and educators to “teach like coaches” in calling girls to greatness.

To understand the power of a Montrose education that is steeped in the liberal arts and informed by habits of heart, mind, and character, let’s hear from those who have benefited from it: Keynote speaker Dr. Nichole Mercier '94, and the Class of 2018 Co-Valedictorians Anneka Ignatius and Elizabeth Ling.

What are the Habits of Mind that can help us learn a new skill, build a new habit, or stop procrastinating? Deborah Farmer Kris, Montrose Teacher and LifeCompass Associate Director, sheds light on these topics and more in this episode of Montrose Podcast.
