The faculty

Meet the faculty

Every teacher knows every student on the floor by name. Two of them are introduced here, and the rest are at the visit mornings.

  • Vinay Pai, head of school, seated on a desk in a classroom with a chalkboard behind him

    Vinay Pai

    Head of school

    Founded Epigraph for students who need a smaller room at grade 6. He leads the humanities block and the Tuesday and Thursday history seminar, and he is the first person a new family meets at a visit morning. He answers the school's phone on most mornings.

  • Kaede Ogura, science and math teacher, seated on a classroom windowsill among potted plants

    Kaede Ogura

    Science and math teacher

    Teaches math and the Monday and Wednesday science projects, and runs Friday making. The planning-time routine that every student on the floor uses started in her homeroom, and she walks new families through it at the summer meeting.

How the teachers work with families

The seven teachers share one floor and one list of students, so a family hears from whoever knows its child well. A note goes home every afternoon, and each family meets with a homeroom teacher once a term to talk about how it is going.

Tell the head of school at the visit what has helped your child in a classroom before. The teachers plan the first weeks around it.

Meet the teachers at a visit

Both of them are on the floor on every visit morning.
