It is the people standing here who made it happen for my daughters, and who are the reason I'm back here talking about it tonight.

John Fulghum, parent of alumnae, speaking to parents of incoming students

‘Love of Learning’ was expressed in Tower’s literature, but it wasn’t until we observed several classes that we understood how Tower's teachers make this happen! The enthusiasm, excitement and interest on the students' faces; the creative teaching methods; the connection between students and their teachers—all combined to make the Tower decision for our daughter, an easy one.

Andrea and Don Souter, parents of Anna ’17
