Beautiful architecture – Chapel of St. Peter and St. Paul at St. Paul’s School Concord, New Hampshire In the spring of 1856. . .
a young schoolteacher arrived in a carriage at a large property of ponds and woods near Concord, New Hampshire, where a wealthy Boston physician had provided land to create a new school. St. Paul’s began that same day, as three boys received their first assignments, one of which was to go fishing. A love of the School’s natural habitat has remained constant since those early days.
Graduates of St. Paul’s School have included three candidates for U.S. president, six senators or congressmen, 13 U.S. ambassadors, and 10 leaders of various U.S. administrations; a governor of New Hampshire; a Nobel Prize winner, a Medal of Honor recipient, three Pulitzer Prize winners; a mayor of New York City; a president of the World Bank; numerous editors of books, newspapers, and magazines; CEOs of numerous Fortune 500 companies; professional hockey players; and multiple clergy, including the former presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church

Everyday all the students gather at the Chapel of St. Peter and St. Paul ( not Catholic) for morning chapel as part of their objective to have a holistic education. They have reflection, talks from speakers of the school, hymns and other activities

Happy to see Chananya and Prasong in the same Math Class where our sons are classmates 🙂Parent's Weekend (14)

In Math class, they do not put their real names on the test papers just so there are no biases and preconceived notions when the teacher checks the papers.  Interesting! 🙂 Jaime just put his name already after and this was given to us to viewParent's Weekend (15)

 Another lunch at school.  The tables were assigned by house/dorm.  That way the parents get to meet the other parents of the dorm mates 🙂  Good idea 🙂  Parent's Weekend (16)
