THE RECTORY SCHOOLCelebrating the Individual & Living in Community

Welcome!

Since The Rectory School’s founding in 1920, with a totalstudent population of two, we have maintained a steadfastcommitment to developing the individual. In fact, adolescenceand the middle school years are a period defined byindividuality as children move—or leap, as is the case for many—towards adulthood. Each child demonstrates varied readiness,aptitude, and enthusiasm for this transformation. Consequently,our unique, tailored approach to education is so effective. Werecognize that growth best occurs when a child feels valued,understood, and challenged. As a result, our school program,designed around these beliefs, transforms students’ lives.

Whether one’s interests lie in academics, music, art, drama,sports, or a combination of these disciplines, we have theenthusiastic, qualified faculty to help hone skills and learn newones. Adolescence should be a period of discovery, so we inspireall students to broaden their interests and to gain a better senseof the world and of themselves. Through exposure to course

content, the development of academic skills, and the fosteringof personal reflection, we prepare our students for the extensiveopportunities and responsibilities that await in the years ahead.

As you read about Rectory and its programs, I hope you findthe prospect of joining this community as compelling as I did.Set on a beautiful campus, surrounded by a caring, engagingcommunity, The Rectory School is a special place for learningand growing. Obviously, we cannot show you all that we are in abook, so we urge you to come visit us and see for yourself whybeing part of Rectory is an advantage that you will enjoy foryour whole life.

I look forward to welcoming you in person.

Best wishes,

Fred Williams, Headmaster

Our students love it here!The Rectory School, located in beautiful northeastern Connecticut, is anindependent, coed, junior boarding and day school that embraces students asindividual learners and unique people.

We see you for who you are and for who you can become.

MissionThe Rectory School’s mission is to provide students, from early childhood throughmiddle school, with an enriched and supportive academic, social and ethicalcommunity that addresses individual learning styles, aptitudes, and needs whilepromoting personal self-worth and accountability. The school community livesthe Rectory School Creed: Responsibility, Respect, Honesty, and Compassion.

Our Tradition: Celebrating the Individual…

Our story began across the street in the rectory of Christ(Episcopal) Church, where the Reverend and Mrs. FrankBigelow established a school to teach their son, John, andGeorge Chandler Holt, from New York City. The individualizededucation prepared both boys for secondary school. Wordspread of the successful teaching, and by 1922, there weresix boys living at the rectory. With each decade, The RectorySchool has flourished and become an outstanding, international,coed boarding and day school. Still, its purpose to teach to theindividual has remained steadfast.

With every Rectory student,we continue our rich heritage ofinspiring talents, teaching the joyof learning, and appreciating ourconnectedness to one another.

and Building a Meaningful Community.

At Rectory we understandthe specific needs andinterests of our studentsand meet them “wherethey are” in theiracademic journey. In doingso, we encourage them todiscover new areas, toexpand their abilities, andto become successful inthe classroom, in theTang Center, in theathletic arenas, and beyondour campus.

Rectory’s academic program grew out

of our founders’ desire to educate their son

and another boy through a curriculum that

suited their needs exactly. Today Rectory

is still focused on meeting the unique

educational needs of students as individuals

in a warm, family-like environment.

Academic ProgramGrades 5–9: Discovering Your Potential

Through small class sizes,

individualized instruction, and a

supportive faculty, Rectory brings

out the capable, successful learner

in each student.

6

Gauging ProgressWe believe that regular feedback keeps students on track and

motivates them to improve. Indicator grades are issued three times

per term, giving students goals to shoot for every two weeks and

establishing a direct relationship between performance in class and

assessment. Parents also appreciate these progress gauges.

Fostering SuccessWe encourage self-advocacy and inquiry. Students who havequestions or need more help can arrange to meet with theirclassroom teachers or IIP instructor during I-Period, the lastperiod of our school day. Developing good study habits andlearning how to stay on top of academic expectations areintegral to becoming a highly successful, responsible student.In support of that effort, Rectory holds make-up study hall,or MUSH, as we enjoy calling it, during I-Period. MUSH isan opportunity for students to complete assignments theydid not finish or to make progress on long-term projects.Students assigned to MUSH by their classroom teachers orby their IIP instructor receive individual assistance from oneof two teachers in the “MUSH-Room” each day.

Rectory Inspires a Passion for LearningOur curriculum gives students foundational knowledge in reading, writing, and

mathematics while challenging them to experience other languages, think critically about

history and society, explore science, and engage in performing and visual arts. Dedicated

teachers respond to diverse learning styles and abilities with a variety of instructional

methods and materials to nurture the development of the whole child. At Rectory, where

support and ongoing guidance go hand-in-hand with high expectations, learning becomes

an inherently rewarding enterprise.

7

Leadership at RectoryAt Rectory we seek to develop confident, informed students who canmake responsible decisions in this community and in other communitiesthey will be a part of later in their lives. Our curriculum includes a seriesof developmentally appropriate leadership activities that give our studentsthe opportunity to learn and practice leadership skills. To carry out theleadership qualities taught in classes and morning assemblies, studentscan become proctors, student government members and officers, dininghall stewards, team captains, Chapel ushers, acolytes, and readers,newspaper editors, class officers, and Ambassadors.

Citizenship AwardsAt the end of each marking period, faculty members submit names ofstudents who show acts of kindness and compassion. Students appreciatebeing recognized not only for their accomplishments, but also for theirefforts, dedication, and commitment. We help them understand early inlife how much their actions affect others, by formally acknowledgingpositive behaviors. In doing so, we help students build character andreinforce the importance of being good citizens.

The Hettinger Library:A Resource for LearningWith space well suited to large meetings,small-group work, and one-to-one sessions, theHettinger Library is used continually throughoutthe day. A center for learning, the Librarycontains 8,100 volumes, 36 periodical titles,and a number of desktop and laptop computers.

Our librarian is the bridge connecting studentswith these material resources. As an educator, thelibrarian gives group workshops on how to usereference materials, assists students individuallywith research projects, and runs the school-wideextracurricular reading program, READ (Readingfor Enjoyment And Discovery). Through thisprogram, all students read a minimum of onebook of their choosing per term—in additionto books assigned in classes—and write a bookreview on it. With encouragement from thelibrarian, most students read many more than theminimum, greatly increasing their proficiency asreaders and enhancing their enjoyment of reading.At Rectory, we seek to cultivate readers for life.

8

Students enrolled in IIP meet with an instructor five days aweek. The sessions are scheduled within the regular rotationof classes during the academic day; therefore, students arenot pulled from other activities to participate in IIP.

Assessment is essential to the process as students are taughtto use their strengths to cultivate their learning and improveareas of need. A daily diagnostic approach to lessonplanning ensures that instructional goals meet individualneeds, such as reinforcing essential skills, developing learningstrategies, increasing proficiency in English, and exploringareas of interest through independent study. Within thenurturing environment of IIP, students develop self-advocacy, confidence, and discipline—a firm foundationupon which to build further success.

IIP addresses students’ learning in areas, such as written andoral language, reading comprehension, numeracy, specificsubject support, English as a second language, and study habits,including organization and management of paper and time.Specifically, IIP helps students develop the skills and strategiesneeded to achieve independent learning and self-advocacy.

IIP offers opportunities for our diverse learners. Students maypursue advanced or enriched curricula through customizedcourses, like pre-calculus or French language. The programalso provides support to students performing below-gradelevel in mathematics or reading.

IIP is a vital component of Rectory’s overall mission: tonurture the whole child within a caring, individualizedlearning environment.

Students can and must feel success with learning.The keystone of Rectory is our Individualized

Instruction Program (IIP), designed to address

each student’s unique learning goals. Through our

understanding of the student’s learning profile—

including strengths, interests, affinities, and

learning difficulties—we determine goals and

customize each student’s program.

Completing the Educational JourneyThe ninth-grade year at Rectory skillfully transitions

middle schoolers to competent secondary school

students through special academic opportunities,

increased responsibilities, and greater privileges. It’s also

a year for students to gain maturity and solidify their

strengths within Rectory’s close, supportive setting as

they prepare to enroll in other, often larger, schools.

The ArtsRevealing the Creativity Within

Celebrating the individual through the arts

curriculum fosters creativity, self-expression,

and artistic and personal growth. Our

courses in the performing and visual arts

are foundational and fun, historical and

hands-on, instructive and rewarding.

14

The Arts Have a Place at RectoryRectory students benefit from our modern,

beautiful, and functional arts facilities:

TheTang Performing Arts Center and

the Collins Art Barn. TheTang Center, an

outstanding venue for concerts, assemblies,

and special programs, is an amphitheater with luxury seating for 236, with a fully equipped

sound and lighting booth for multimedia and live performances. The Art Barn features two

light-filled studios that accommodate a variety of media, and a state-of-the-art darkroom.

Central to campus life, both facilities make possible a wide variety of academic and

extracurricular activities in the arts.

Professional Performancesat the Tang CenterThe endowed Ames Music Education Series brings professionalperforming groups to campus two or three times per year.Eclectic groups such as Rhythm Kitchen African Drumming,The Kokosingers from Kenyon College, The Turntablists(using turntables as instruments), Cool Cat Jazz, theworld-renowned Boston Brass, and Dragon King Production’sChinese Opera, enrich and entertain everyone.

Music and DramaStudents explore classical and contemporary music, learnto play a band instrument in an ensemble, study keyboardplaying, and create compositions of their own usingkeyboards and computers.

Every spring the Music Department produces a full-scalemusical. The students who participate in this noteworthyperformance are introduced to fundamentals of the stage:acting, set design, lighting, and sound.

15

Let’s Play!In addition to the required ensemble playing, students may choose to participate inour performing groups: orchestra, band, jazz ensemble, chorus, school musical, guitarensemble, African drumming, and pit orchestra. Seventy percent of the students atRectory perform in these groups. Many also participate in our extensive program ofprivate instrumental music lessons. Our strongest musicians audition for and performat many state and regional music festivals each year.

Major performances include the much-anticipated spring musical. In the past, Rectorystudents have staged original musicals, as well as such classics as Joseph and the Amazing

Technicolor Dreamcoat, The Music Man and Williy Wonka, Jr. Our famous Prism Concert in thefall features continuous sound. Groups in different parts of the concert hall performone after the other, creating a full spectrum of sound that delights and amazes audiences.

MultimediaRectory students combine state-of-the-art technology with their own creativity in thehands-on course with projects in multimedia. Coursework in this ninth-grade electivefocuses on learning skills in iMovie, completing assignments that implement thoseskills, then developing independent projects that follow students’ own interests,such as short films that cast students in the roles of writers, actors, directors, andvideographers. Some students serve the school and hone their skills by videotapingschool events or operating the soundboard and lighting equipment for concertsand plays at the Tang Center.

Visual ArtsThroughout the sequence of artcourses, students create projects in avariety of media. As they conceive andwork on producing their own art,students also learn about art history,art criticism, and aesthetics. The bestexample of the rich art curriculummay be our unique tradition of maskmaking. Students learn about maskmaking around the world as anexpression of culture as well asindividuality. Then, with the idea ofcreating something uniquely personal,fifth-grade classes make seed masks,sixth graders make paper masks,seventh graders make foil masks,and—in one of the most highlyanticipated activities of the Rectoryexperience—eighth graders make claymasks. What does a mask revealabout its maker? It’s one of the verybest questions to explore in Rectory’sart program.
