S8E7 Students don't just attend Lovett, they are known by teachers and staff; they are appreciated for who they are and who they are growing to be. Meredyth Cole, Head of School, joins Chief Engagement Officer Jessica Sant for a reflective conversation on Lovett's core values and educational approach. Together, they discuss the importance of clarity and intentionality in defining who Lovett is as a community, emphasizing the school's commitment to nurturing the whole child: intellectually, socially, emotionally, and spiritually.

Meredyth shares insights on what it means to be an independent Episcopal school, the significance of honoring dignity and diversity, and the value of fostering resilience and authentic self-knowledge in students. The conversation also explores the partnership between families and the school, the challenges and rewards of letting students experience "healthy failure," and the enduring impact of strong relationships and community connection.
