Impressions of OES


From Those Who Know It Best


Mo Copeland, Head of School Dear Friends,


Oregon Episcopal School has a long tradition of conversations between the Head of School and each senior during the senior year. I have particularly enjoyed


these conversations, as a way to get to know the seniors prior to graduation and as a way to learn about the experience of students at OES.


Te seniors are a diverse group, evenly balanced between those who are lifers, those who entered later in Lower School, those who entered during Middle School, those who came in ninth grade, and those who have boarded. Tey come from all kinds of backgrounds—from around the region, state, nation, and world; from large public schools, and from large and small independent schools. But they have one thing in common: Tey love their teachers. When asked what they most value about OES, they mention their teachers and their sense of connection.


Tis connection to teachers, which is so


meaningful, starts with the exploration and discovery that happen when teachers create a dialogue and an environment of intellectual openness. One senior said, “I have really strong opinions. OES is a safe place to disagree with people,” and another, “I had a lot of questions when I was a kindergartner, and my parents


“ OES helped me develop who I am as a person: how I think and how I approach my life.”


“ They are teaching us to think, not just to know.”
