Testimonials

There’s a lot to love about working at Stamford. Of course, we have amazing access to technology and great tech support. As a teacher, I also get the chance to work with colleagues from all around the world in ways in which innovation is honored, and even expected, while growing my own knowledge base… But the best thing about Stamford? I would say it’s our student body! I’ve never taught in a school with such a diverse mix of students, and teaching here, I learn alongside students as we strive to master skills,  concepts, and content, and do so by producing beautiful work!

Individuals & Societies Teacher

The best thing about Stamford is its pledge to inspire our students to achieve their very best in all that they do. This pledge enables students to reach their personal goals to ultimately create their unique futures. Whether their best is in the classroom, the lab, on the pitch, the stage, or in the pool Stamford students have the opportunity to discover and develop their strengths and skills so that they are fully prepared for the future. I see students embracing these opportunities every day and hear about the beautiful journeys many students have taken after Stamford, making each day meaningful and valuable.
