Andover's mission is what energizes my work at the Academy. Our students come to us with such potential to make a mark in the world and our faculty and staff enable them to grow and thrive. Seeing this magic happen every day drives my colleagues and me to do our best to help realize the dreams of everyone in our community. Another aspect of what is so special about our school is our global footprint. Whether it's in New York or Chicago or San Francisco or Seoul or Hong Kong or Shanghai or Dubai, whenever the Andover family gathers the sense of community and friendship is deep and genuine. What a special place this is!
