I felt equipped with strong study skills, and confident in my ability to build meaningful relationships with teachers.
Halle Livermore ’15
Halle, on the skills she developed at Tower that helped her thrive at Groton.
The picture I have of the perfect learning environment in my head is what I see when I walk through the doors at Tower School. The teachers are caring, encouraging and actively challenging our kids to improve academically and socially every day. Perhaps the most impressive thing is how much our kids LOVE the school, their friends, their teachers, the administrators the assemblies, recess, the science classes, wood shop, playing music. They are genuinely bummed when they have to miss it for vacations or sickness and can't wait to go back on Monday morning.
