Another thing we love about graduation is catching up with our amazing alumni, and this year was no exception. Check out all the alumni who joined us @ASBschool this year. Yes, that is Mr. Mark Smith, out of retirement!

Sorry for those alumni we missed! 😻

We caught up with Andrew Noh '17 at our alumni reunion in NYC in February, but it was extra special to have him visit campus last week.

Andrew is about to complete his Juris Doctor of Law from @nyuniversity and will start work at Debevoise & Plimpton in May.

We love it when alums come back as prospective parents! Yesterday, we welcomed Sofía Nogués from the Class of 2010 back to campus through our admissions office. Sofía and her sister Aurora completed their entire education @ASBschool PK-G12. Lovely to be reconnected again! 💙❤️

The first 25 years you measure success with grades, only to realize that the real value is in learning to learn and critical thinking.

The second 25 years you measure success by how much money you made, only to realize that how you spend time, and with whom, is most important.
