历史概述

Charlotte Haxall Noland founded 特学校 in 1914, at the age of 32. Her dream was to create a school that "girls would want to come to and hate to leave because they loved it." More than 100 years later, it’s clear that she accomplished her goal. Foxcroft girls work hard, and they play hard, and they love their school. 每年, 它(女儿, 孙女, 曾孙女)和后代(姐妹), 侄女, and cousins) of alumnae average between 20-25% of the student body, 反映着这份爱, 信仰, 和承诺, fueled by the sense of joy and playfulness that Miss Charlotte created.

从一开始, Miss Charlotte’s highest aim and Foxcroft’s greatest responsibility has been to educate the whole student. 她努力灌输崇高的目标, 完整性, 领导, 理解, 以及学生的同理心, 正如学校的校训所说, "意思是在corpore sano中的Sana " (A healthy mind in a healthy body) — guides Foxcroft to this day.
福克斯克罗夫特的内心仍然相信 女子学校比女子学校好. Miss Charlotte knew this to be true even before she founded Foxcroft more than a century ago, and Mary Louise Leipheimer reaffirmed this notion when she became the ninth Head of School in 1989. During her tenure, Leipheimer served on the first board of the 全国女子学校联盟 支持的研究表明 “女子学校优势”." The School's enrollment and endowment both grew and an excellent faculty refined its forward-thinking curriculum. 坚信“我们所做的一切都是课程”,” co-curricular programs from sports and activities to community service, 领导, and residential life were treated as opportunities to fulfill the School’s mission.
Foxcroft celebrated its first century of girls' education with a 百周年庆典 2014年4月25日至27日. 在2013-14学年结束后, 凯瑟琳·斯迈莉·麦吉, a girls’ school veteran and passionate advocate for pursuing 21st Century opportunities, 出任第十任校长. 接着传来了一个令人震惊的消息:一笔4000万美元的遗赠, 感激而慷慨的校友留下的, Ruth Bedford '32. Bedford's gift is the largest ever bestowed on an all-girls secondary school. 未来的确是光明的.
