一个重要的目的地.
太久了, 中学 has been seen as a passage between Lower and 上学校s—a transition to endure, 而不是它自己独特的体验. 在夜莺, 中学是我们学生人生旅程的中心, 努力工作带来快乐的地方, 社区激发信心.
Nightingale fundamentally knows that intellectualism and happiness work best in tandem. The girls learn joyfully, and in turn, develop individual voices that emerge from the crowd. 他们开始承担领导角色，领导团队. 同时, 中学为孩子们安排了玩耍和自由创作的时间, 这能让女孩们放松下来，并有意地探索新的兴趣. 南丁格尔的学生从八班出来时充满了渴望, 热情的学习者，准备好迎接高中的挑战.
在南丁格尔，匿名是不可能的. 教师, 咨询, and dean programs create a sound scaffolding for each student’s academic and social-emotional needs. 我们始终关注公平和包容, 以同理心接纳他人的差异, 成为盟友. Nightingale has upended the prevailing narrative about 中学 and turned an oft-overlooked passage into a vital destination of its own.
