Everything we do is curriculum at Foxcroft, and our students benefit from lessons grounded in real-world application.
Experienced professionals share their career paths as guest speakers and construction projects become seminar series guided by experts in the field. These unique learning experiences are not one-off instances; they are woven into the educational philosophy and learning experience for all students.
Designed to expose students to the design and construction industry, the phases of bringing the 3月s 蒸汽 Wing to life will serve as a learning lab demonstrating real-world applications of 蒸汽 lessons to the students who have applied and been accepted into the seminar.
The Project Rebuild seminar series focused on the design, demolition, and renovation process that turned Court Dorm into the School’s Welcome Center. Monthly sessions included lecture-based presentations from experts in the field from Forrester Construction Company and Hord Coplan Macht, as well as dynamic activities and visits to the construction site for hands-on learning.
The creation of our first LEED-certified building, Stuart Hall, served as a living laboratory for our students who participated in Project Green Build to learn about sustainable building practices and the environmental impact of construction. The construction project’s builder and project manager, Forrester Construction Company, together with the School's Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) faculty, conducted monthly sessions, complete with hard-hat site visits and hands-on projects. The seminar covered many aspects of construction from design and modeling, to how foundations and mechanical systems work. The participants, 反过来, shared what they learned in regular presentations at all-school assemblies. This seminar series would serve as a model for others that followed along major construction projects in the following years.
I am interested in engineering and wanted to learn from women in the engineering field about their path to becoming an engineer. The coolest thing I’ve learned so far is how eco-friendly a building can be and what elements are used to achieve that. I am excited to start getting hands-on experience and see how [the 蒸汽 Wing] looks once it’s done.— Ariana A., Class of 2026
