Who was your most influential teacher and why?
Ms. Willing was a very supportive teacher and advisor throughout my four years at Shipley. She assisted me through a difficult year in Biology Honors and helped me adjust to the Shipley environment as an incoming freshman.
What was your favorite class and why?
My favorite class was Calculus with Mr. Farr. He always shows support to his students in and out of the allotted time period of class as he checks in on all students throughout the day.
What was your most memorable experience at Shipley?
My first day of orientation freshman year. I met all of my future classmates and advisory.
What does Courage for the Deed; Grace for the Doing mean to you?
It means to support and uplift the community through selflessness and inclusion.
The Shipley School is a private, coeducational day school for pre-kindergarten through 12th grade students, located in Bryn Mawr, PA. Through our commitment to educational excellence, we develop within each student a love of learning and a desire for compassionate participation in the world.
