“Solebury taught me how to reconcile the different versions of myself. While it is an interminable process of discovering and developing my true self, Solebury provided me with a welcoming space to begin to expose all aspects of my character. I learned the value of being my own unique and genuine self.”

“I learned the value of community, which is where I found my voice. The students and teachers who surrounded me are what made my classes, boarding experience, and extracurricular commitments memorable.”

“Solebury gave me many things, but perhaps the three most significant were acceptance, support, and opportunity.”

“Cinnie’s ESL classes gave me a solid foundation in English, a skill that I have to use daily on the job for radio communication with air traffic controllers and for coordination with my crew members.”

“At Solebury, I was given the freedom to express my creativity in my school work—like making a music video about the digestive system for my biology final, and rapping about Hamlet for an English project.”

“Because of the teachers at Solebury, I grew to learn that what I say in a conversation adds value and that my voice is a tool I should utilize more often.”

“If I didn't have the leadership opportunities I had at Solebury, I wouldn't have been able to be a leader in college. The supportive environment at Solebury made that possible for me.”

“Thanks to Solebury’s small size, there were many opportunities to be a leader, whether it was through clubs, sports teams, or academically. Leading clubs, in particular, was a good chance for me to learn to organize, work with other students and teachers in a new way, and be uniquely creative.”

“For me, the greatest utility of Solebury School has been the self-discovery that [it] seemed to inspire in my peers and myself.”

“The community at Solebury is really something special, unlike any other.”

“Solebury made me who I am.”

"Solebury prepared me well from the get go. In my first-year writing class at Cornell, I was fortunate enough to use everything I learned from high school. I even earned a writing scholarship for a paper in my Management Communication class.”

“Solebury helped me to be me, which sounds silly but some things such as persevering, critical thinking, and leadership aren't valued and encouraged at other schools like they are at Solebury. Instead of having these traits disappear as I went through middle school and high school, they flourished and helped me get to where I am today.”

“An important lesson I learned from my Solebury School experience is that in order to grow, I must continue to learn more, experience more and explore new things. The only way to do that is to constantly challenge myself to step outside of my comfort zone.”

“At Solebury, I learned to think critically, which has helped me a lot in the biology major that I am currently pursuing. Solebury also taught me to persevere no matter what the circumstances — that has also helped me in my college career.”
