Where Humanity and Achievement Ring True.

Where are you going? Where do you want to go?

If you’re looking for a new direction, Hebron

Academy is a great place to start. We’re an

independent, coed, college preparatory boarding

and day school in southern Maine that’s like a small

village. With 250 students, it’s a place where friends

live, study, eat, work and have fun together. The

school’s rolling green lawns are set on a 1,500-acre

campus that includes two mountains, three ponds

and miles of hiking trails.

This book will take you on a guided tour of Hebron

Academy to give you a feel for what it’s like to take

classes, compete on athletic teams, create through

the arts, be a part of a community and have fun.

Let’s begin our tour.

Hebron Academy is a college preparatory school; everything

you will do here is with that goal in mind. You’ll be challenged in the

classroom—probably more than ever before. But with an average of

12 students in a class, you’ll also be more engaged in learning than

ever before. Most classes are taught seminar style, with an emphasis

on discussion. You won’t be an observer in your education; you’ll be

an active participant.

“My experience at Hebron

has been all about learning

from multiple dimensions.

Last year I sewed a wedding

dress in my fashion design

independent study, but I

used integral calculus to

determine the displacement

of fabric in the pleats and

the yardage I’d need to

make the dress. Through all

that intense math applied

to fashion, I gained a much

clearer understanding of

both subjects.” erIC b., senIOr (HOLLIs, nH)

Academics at Hebron are personal. You’ll find we’re

able to meet you where you are and help you design

a program of study that will make you stretch.

Hebron’s faculty is the engine that drives this

experience. Because most teachers live on campus,

they’re able to give an extraordinary amount of one-

on-one time to students in and out of the classroom,

whether it’s working through an algebra problem

over lunch or reviewing Spanish verb tenses in the

common room after dinner.

Through this personal program of study, you’ll dis-

cover things about yourself; you’ll offer your opin-

ion in class, take an Advanced Placement course or

maybe contribute a poem to the literary magazine.

Hebron is the place where you’ll learn to really

study, solve problems and write. Here, you’ll find

your own voice and define your own success. How

do we know? Because we hear it again and again

from graduates: “I learned how to learn at Hebron.”

“Hebron made all the difference for me. Hebron

showed me I could be successful.” Hebron offers

several special programs designed for students with

specific interests and needs. These include:

FreSh ConneCtionS Incoming ninth graders

emphasis on peer-led discussion, writing in a variety

of forms, and developing Modern Language Associa-

tion (MLA) research techniques. Dive into Homer’s

Odyssey while interpreting the rise and fall of Ancient

Greece; dissect T’ang poetry en route to Chang’an,

China; and re-enact the works of Shakespeare while

chronicling the origins of the Renaissance.

Outside the classroom, you’ll learn how to cultivate

communication and independent decision-making

skills through co-curricular programs such as Health

Topics, and you’ll partake in fun events with your

classmates and core of advisors. Fresh Connections

also offers a mandatory study-skills seminar led by

the Academic Guidance Center (AGC), teaching

students new to a residential school setting how to

manage their time, prioritize and study effectively.4

David

“Academics at Hebron

are about being part of a

discussion. Small classes

give everyone a chance to

be heard and challenge

each other, and teachers

are interested in what we

have to say. My favorite

class so far has been history

with Mr. Middleton in

the Fresh Connections

program. I’ve always loved

the subject, but Mr. Midd

makes it exciting and

unpredictable. I never feel

like I’m being talked at.”

DaviD, Sophomore

What David wants you to know about Hebron:

playing sports at hebron has been an awesome ex-perience. Different sports will expose you to different people who will become your friends over the course of the season. You’ll build new friends on each team and keep old ones from the previous teams. You’ll also grow close with your coaches, who you may not have the chance to experience as teachers.

David’s tips for getting the most out of your Hebron experience:

1. When you do your homework, start with the hardest subject first. You’ll have the most energy to tackle it, and you’ll be glad when you’re done.

2. Get out of your dorm room. hebron has a great small town feel, where people look out for each other. Don’t be afraid to step out and be social. The people are the best part of the experience.

3. Learn about hebron’s history. The school has unique traditions, and you’ll feel closer to the community if you know its roots. Start by learning the hebron hymn.

4. Welcome the snow. There’s no way out of it, so you might as well try joining a weekend trip with the outing Club and take a free ski or snowboard lesson.

5. Call your parents. When you’re living away from home for the first time, it’s easy to get caught up in how busy hebron keeps you.

PoStgrAduAte ProgrAm Each fall 15 to 20

students join the Hebron community for an extra

year of high school study. Postgraduates (PGs) have

the opportunity to accomplish their individual goals

while benefiting from the structure of Hebron’s

close-knit environment and rigorous academic

program. At Hebron, postgrads develop personally,

strengthen their academic standing and athletic

focus, and improve SAT scores to advance their

college prospects. We offer a PG English course that

focuses on college-level writing and reading as well

as a college review math course. Hebron’s PG Project

is both an academic and personal highlight for our

postgrads that takes them out of the classroom and

into the real world. Students become entrepreneurs,

designing a semester-long independent study and

reporting every step of the way through blog posts

twice a week and a final presentation to the school.

Grow a garden, direct a play, or learn guitar. At

Hebron, PGs learn by experience and become their

own self-advocates.

entrePreneurShiP ProgrAm Hebron’s

Entrepreneurship Program gives motivated upper-

classmen the chance to launch their own small

business for academic credit and diversify their

course loads. Student teams take an idea from con-

cept through start-up, designing and implement-

ing a business plan right on the Hebron campus.

Hebron entrepreneurs are responsible for the sales,

financing, marketing, advertising, tracking and sus-

tainability of their product or service—a broadcast-

worthy commercial is even part of the mix. Teams

hear from guest judges who come to Hebron to ad-

vise on risk management, creating a business plan,

borrowing and investing, and marketing. Past proj-

ects have included a snack-catering business in the

dorms, limited edition t-shirts and a campus-wide

movie rental service. Teamwork and imagination

are the only prerequisites.

that transcend classroom walls. Now more than

ever, our graduates will need to be able to navigate

the rapidly evolving professional, economic and

social climates that lie ahead. That’s why we’ve

designed the Career Connection Seminars, an after-

noon of networking and discussion opportunities

hosted by alumni and parents for Hebron seniors

and postgrads. Students sign up for hour-long ses-

sions about everything from starting a business to

nailing your first interview, pushing them to think

beyond Hebron. “How do I get an internship?”

“What makes a good resume?” “How can I use social

media tools to network?” Students even get a taste of

industry perks: personalized business cards, name

placards and portfolios. The day ends with a keynote

address at a formal dinner with guest presenters and

the Head of School.

Kelli

“Athletics here are all about

the team mentality. Hebron

makes trying a new sport an

easy decision because skill

level is less important than

what you gain from working

with your teammates and

building friendships. Show

up to practice with an open

mind and leave the teaching

to the coaches. You’ll be

proud of yourself for trying

something new, and you’ll

never forget the first time

you rang the Victory Bell!”

KeLLi, SeNior

What Kelli wants you to know about Hebron:

hebron is a big family. i came from a school with more than 1,000 kids, so coming here was eye opening. in my first few weeks, i remember passing by people i didn’t know who came right up to me and started a conversa-tion—i had never had that experience before, but that’s the expectation here. No one is anonymous.

Kelli’s tips for getting the most out of your Hebron experience:

1. pick up a new sport. i had never tried lacrosse be-fore, and now it’s my favorite of the three i play— you never know!

2. Build a daily routine. By living away from home, you have more independence, and chances are you’ll be much busier here than you can prepare for! having a routine allows you to plan ahead.

3. Do homework in pieces. hebron academics are challenging, and homework is designed to make you think. Get started on the following day’s assign-ments during your free periods. That way, you’ll have less when you sit down for study hall at night.

4. run for student government. if you want a stake in how hebron operates, be a class officer. organize fundraisers and events, and be involved with what’s happening in the administration.

“i’m really happy with the memories i’ve made with the hebron football team, from the draining two-a-days to the bittersweet moment of returning equipment at the end of the season; and from the biggest parts of the game, like the brotherhood formed between our teammates, to even the smallest details, like the smell of fresh cut grass on the field.” jAke t., senIOr (COLumbus, OH)

Talk to Hebron students and you’ll

find that most of them love playing

sports. Why? For one thing, it’s the

best way to get involved and make

friends fast, even if it means picking

up a sport you’ve never played. But

more importantly, it’s because there’s a

place for everyone here, from the most

competitive athlete looking to take her

talents to an NCAA college program to

the novice who’s never held a tennis

racket or stuck his feet in ski boots.

All are welcome, all compete.

Our mascot is the Lumberjack, and we

play prep schools from all over New

England. Hebron coaches are also

teachers, and they view athletics as an-

other learning opportunity. They’ll get

to know you in a whole new way.

And whether you play on the varsity

or junior varsity team, you’ll enjoy the

benefits of athletics—physical fitness

and the camaraderie that comes from

working together toward a common

purpose. You’ll also learn the satisfac-

tion that comes from reaching personal

goals and from ringing the Victory Bell.

Lumberjack Success At Hebron, we’re proud of our

Lumberjacks. We field competitive teams in 14 sports and love adding trophies to our shelves. recent ’jacks successes include:

Blaze new trailsHebron Academy is Maine at its best. The first thing

you’ll notice when you come to campus is green ev-

erywhere: trees, fields, hills and trails—1,500 acres

of lakes and mountains for you to uncover. The best

way to take advantage of Hebron’s greatest asset is

through Trailblazing, Hebron’s outdoor skills activ-

ity offered all seasons. After classes each day, you’ll

canoe, hike, ski, snowshoe or rock climb with your

friends for the afternoon. On Mountain Day, classes

come to a halt and the whole Hebron community

caravans to a nearby peak for a day on the slopes.

You’ll also take part in Outing Club, which meets on

weekends and is open to all Hebron students. You’ll

embark on day and overnight trips to the moun-

tains and lakeside campgrounds, go ziplining and

white-water rafting, or belay from a sheer rock face.

Mr. Brouwer and other teachers will show you how

to orienteer using a compass, paddle a kayak and

construct a campsite from scratch. In the winter,

check out Hebron’s cross-country trails or throw on

snowshoes and experience the woods in a whole

new way. Mostly, you’ll find that Trailblazing is a

great opportunity to get out of the classroom with

friends and open your eyes to the natural beauty

around you.

Where we play

Hebron’s Athletic Center opened in 2008

and plays host to almost all our sports and

activities, rain or shine. A 30-foot rock wall,

squash courts, workout center encased in

floor-to-ceiling windows, elevated track

and green-friendly technology are just a

few of the perks in the AC. No matter the

elements outdoors, there is always space to

break a sweat or just play around.

Hebron’s Athletic Center is 54,000 square feet. What does that mean? ImaginefourOlympic-sizedswimmingpools placed next to each other, and then add a few lanes.

Arts: Avenues for all

The arts are alive at Hebron. It’s apparent once you

set foot on campus and see student creations adorn-

ing walls in classroom buildings and common areas.

Sit in on a school meeting and enjoy a morning

duet from your classmates or a personal composi-

tion from a teacher. Venture to the music rooms and

you’ll hear everything from hip-hop to classical to

jazz coming from the rehearsal rooms and prac-

tice spaces. Though only one visual or performing

arts credit is required, at any given time nearly two

thirds of all students are enrolled in an arts course.

Hebron embraces art in all its forms and dedicates

academic periods to rehearsals and lessons in addi-

tion to regularly scheduled courses like Printmaking

and Studio Recording. If you want to pursue a field

for which Hebron doesn’t have a class, work with

a faculty advisor and design an independent study

from your own imagination for course credit. At

Hebron, there’s always a way to make it work.

The arts at Hebron will take you out of the classroom

to let you find inspiration in your surroundings.

Photography, Printmaking, Music Theory and Jazz

Band are just samplings of what’s offered. If you love

the stage, you can become a member of the Hebron

Academy Players or join the beloved One-Act Plays

that happen in the spring, no acting experience

needed. If you’d prefer to start as a spectator, take in

your classmates’ performances and the professional

talent that comes to campus to perform for the

community.

For some, art is an established way of life, and for

others it’s a welcome change in routine. Whatever

your level, you’ll find faculty who will encourage

you to reach your highest potential or begin your

artistic journey.

Olivia

“Art at Hebron takes lots of

different shapes. It’s built into

the daily schedule but it goes

way beyond the classroom.

Students perform at morning

meeting; athletes and

teachers join the all-school

musical; and each one of us

is encouraged to share our

work in galleries off campus

or in national competitions.

Personally I love painting but

I’m also getting into design

and music. There are so many

possibilities, and the faculty

make it fun and relaxing.”

oLivia, FreShmaN

What Olivia wants you to know about Hebron:

You may think that to get the most out of being here you have to live on campus, but i find that those op-portunities are available to day students, too, thanks to really supportive faculty who go the extra mile to help you out or include you. Teachers are always ac-cessible for anything, and it doesn’t have to be related to homework. They’re real people.

Olivia’s tips for getting the most out of your Hebron experience:

1. if you’re a day student, a couple times a month stick around after classes and sports are over. it’s a great time to get extra help with teachers in a relaxed set-ting and join dorm activities, like pumpkin carving or ice cream trips. Being part of what goes on around campus after the school day ends adds a lot to your experience.

2. pick up a new art form—the art Department is one of the friendliest places on campus and is always open to students who want to get creative. You don’t have to know what you’re doing—the teachers are always there to help you out.

3. Take advantage of field trips. Throughout the year, different teachers and departments take students to cool places like the museum of Fine arts or the museum of Science in Boston. They’re opportunities for hands-on learning and a nice change of scenery, especially for international students.

Small community = big opportunities. With just

under 300 people on campus, each individual’s

contribution is felt. Join groups or activities that suit

your interests, but don’t hesitate to start your own.

Students agree that not only does getting involved in

co-curriculars help structure your time, but it’s first

and foremost the best way to make friends. You’ll

meet kids with shared interests initially, but you’ll

also encounter many with backgrounds different

from yours. Because the community is small and

mostly residential, you’ll really get to know people

whom you may never have otherwise. That’s what

makes Hebron special.

The Hebron community extends beyond campus

boundaries. Students and faculty uphold the impor-

tance of doing good by others, whether it’s holding

the door for the person behind you, tutoring chil-

dren at a local school, or traveling across the Atlan-

tic to contribute time to underserved communities

in Africa.

In the fall, the entire Hebron population piles into

buses and treks across the state to serve areas in

need during All-School Community Service Day.

Teams clean up beaches, plant gardens, read to the

elderly, and develop civic responsibility through ac-

tion. In the spring, Senior Week is made memorable

not only through the joy of white-water rafting and

theme parks, but also through days spent giving

back to a broader community from which seniors

will soon depart.

Makoto

“Like some students from

other countries, I wasn’t

able to visit Hebron before

attending. When I came

here for the first time, I was

nervous, but it didn’t take

long for me to recognize the

kindness here. Teachers

and students are friends. I

went running each week

with my math teacher and

his dog to train for cross-

country, and I improved

my English by playing card

games with my ELL teacher.

You can be yourself while

also being part of the team.”

maKoTo, Sophomore

What Makoto wants you to know about Hebron:

Back home in Tokyo, there were buildings everywhere and very few trees or open space—i felt boxed in. Coming to hebron, i saw stars for the first time. i have taken advantage of the campus and surrounding area as much as possible, whether i’m running cross-country in the fall or skiing every day in the winter. Sometimes we even have class outdoors when the weather is nice. The physical environment at hebron is as much a part of the community as the people are.

Makoto’s tips for getting the most out of your Hebron experience:

1. make friends with day students and get off campus once in a while. They love hosting boarders at their house for a weekend.

2. Join a sports team in the fall. even if you don’t play a sport that’s usually offered in autumn, sign up for one so that you can come to hebron before things get really busy. You’ll get a head start on living in a dorm and making friends. plus, sports are a common language among everyone!

3. Share your culture. if you’re an international student, use opportunities like international Dinner to teach your classmates about where you come from.

4. if you’re an international student, avoid speaking your native language too often. You will have plenty of support from the eLL program and advisors. it helps to sit with kids who aren’t from your country at meals.

sell, collecting books, hosting bake sales and raffles,

and collaborating with peer schools on special proj-

ects. Serving the community is a key component

of Hebron’s residential life and advisory programs,

providing meaningful off-campus experiences for

Hebron students.

There are plenty of ways to feel part of the Hebron

community that are built into the academic week.

Here are just a few:

• Beat the Beard—Student-teacher contests held

at school meetings. Read more in “Lumberjack

Lingo” in the back of this guide.

• Cohen Concert Series

• Community service trips

• international dinner—Students from abroad

replicate native cuisine and put on a feast for the

whole school.

• the last Word

• lumberjack day—Learn more on page 30.

• mountain day

• musical mondays—Students, teachers and

staff are invited to perform a number at school

meeting to commence the week on a high note.

• Sit-down dinner—Once a week, boarding

students dine beside faculty at small tables for

some extra catch-up time.

Seniors have “The Last Word”

each member of the senior class takes to the stage and addresses the school community in a public speaking exercise called “the Last Word,” a special Hebron tradition. the topic is entirely up to the presenter, who works with his or her advisor to practice and prepare a two- to four-minute speech delivered during school meetings. It may sound scary, but any recent Hebron grad will tell you how amazingyou’llfeelafterward.

• Spirit Week—Organized three times a year by

the Community Life Team, students and faculty

dress up according to a different theme each day

of the week.

• yovic Speaker Series—Experts come to campus

and speak to Hebron students about topics like

social responsibility and the environment each

trimester.

• zombie Walk—Yep, it’s the walk of the undead.

Students and teachers are divided into walkers,

runners and zombies and dress accordingly.

What’s it like to live at school?

When you first get to campus, you’ll be greeted by

student dorm proctors and resident faculty who’ll

help you move in and get settled. Meetings, activi-

ties and ice breakers will get you acquainted with

all the students in your dorm, and pretty soon you’ll

have a daily routine of getting up, eating breakfast in

the Dining Hall, and going to class and sports with

your hall mates. Faculty members live on each floor

and serve as major supports in adjusting to living

on campus. After a few weeks they’ll feel like family

looking out for your best interest.

What’s great about living in residence is the range

of people you’ll befriend. Time spent in the dorm

between classes, on weekends and after hours is

when you really get to know each other, but there’s

always plenty to do outside your room. You’ll find

games of Ultimate Frisbee in the Bowl after dinner

“Fresh off the plane from nevada i see a man [mr. moose] holding a sign with my name on it. he greeted me with a big smile and a ‘hello.’ that made me relax a lot. during the ride to hebron i’m thinking ‘Will i fit in?’ ‘What’s the weather like?’ ‘Why are there so many trees?’ the adjustment to hebron was much smoother than i thought it could be.” rOyCe F., senIOr (LAs vegAs, nv)

A home in Hebron

or student-teacher art shows and performances to

attend in the Lepage Center for the Arts; if you pre-

fer to simply hang out and grab a snack, head to the

Union. During post-season, buses will take fans off

campus to cheer on their fellow Lumberjacks and

enjoy some time away. You’ll benefit from a healthy

combination of structure, fun and independence in

a close-knit community.

Where we live two-thirds of Hebron students live

on campus in one of three dormitories:

• Atwood hall is for freshman and sophomore boys new to Hebron. Atwood is a smaller dorm that engenders a sense of closeness key to new students’ Hebron experience. dorm Head “ms. g-L” is a longtime faculty member and Atwood resident who enacts structure and fun.

• UpperclassboysliveinSturtevant home. While sturtevant is the biggest dorm on campus, halls are mixed by grade level, promoting interaction between students of all ages and interests. A faculty apartment anchors either end of each hall on all floors, so dorm parents are just a few steps away—often with snacks or answers to homework questions.

• Girlsliveinhalford hall, located next to the Athletic Center. Floors in Halford are mixed among grade levels. young ladies enjoy spa nights, movie nights and special outings just for the female community.

The meaning of LIFEHebron’s LIFe program is the cornerstone of our students’ residential living experience. LIFe stands for “living in a Family environment,” a curriculum designed to help all Hebron students communicate effectively with their peers andelders,becomeaccountablecitizensofacommunity, challenge one another intellectually and have fun. At LIFe weekly meetings boarders break into small discussion teams or outing groups.

Faculty members and guest speakers facilitate intense dialogue about a chosen theme, such as diversity, substance abuse or post-secondary education. LIFe meetings take the shape of exciting activities, off-campus learning opportunities and community service. All participants benefit from the freedom to express views and learn from one another in a safe, friendly atmosphere.

Hebron weekends are what you want them to be:

downtime, action-packed madness, or a break from

being on campus. Hang out with friends in the dorm

and watch movies on a rainy day; go ziplining or

apple picking nearby; or head to the city for a Port-

land Pirates hockey game. Hebron’s Community

Life Team collaborates with you, the participant, to

organize outings and activities that interest, stimu-

late and never bore.

Weekends provide opportunities for you to catch up

on much needed rest, spend time with day students,

You don’t have to go it alone at Hebron. If you need help or

have a question, you’ll find there’s a faculty member close by. Teachers

live in the dorms, eat in the Dining Hall, coach teams and serve as advi-

sors. Interacting with faculty in so many different ways gives you plenty

of opportunity to talk with adults, to get advice or seek out an opinion.

“The school atmosphere is

positive and inclusive, and

it’s clear that members of

the faculty and staff are very

caring. There’s a great deal

of academic and individual

confidence building at

Hebron.” jOHn dOnAHue ’84,

Hebron is a place where you’re known by name

from your first day. Faculty get to know where you’re

from, your strengths and your struggles. In addition

to the network you’ll start building within your first

week on campus, Hebron offers specific support to

all students, such as:

AdViSing As an incoming student, you’re as-

signed an advisor who’ll ease your transition to life

at Hebron. You’ll meet weekly on Tuesday mornings

in small groups (sometimes on their couch, in their

kitchen or on their porch) and sit together at school

meetings three times a week. Advisory groups are

close-knit and tend to be made up of students and

faculty members with shared interests; you’ll spend

time together off campus grabbing ice cream or

catching a movie, in addition to checking in on your

grades and how you’re adjusting to school. Your ad-

Support: At every turn

visor is one great resource of many available to you

at Hebron, and he or she is always just a few steps

away.

ACAdemiC guidAnCe Center (AgC) Need

some extra time to finish tests? Unsure of how to

approach your homework? Is there a certain subject

that leaves you stumped? Hebron’s Academic Guid-

ance Center is designed to support students with

learning differences or who need help developing

better study strategies and organizational skills.

The AGC offers skills seminars to incoming fresh-

men and sophomores, SAT preparation courses

and structured and assisted study halls. If you need

more consistent help, regular periods during the

school day are reserved for Academic Guidance,

where you can meet with your team of coaches to

get a head start on coursework and find answers

Being at hebron made the difference for me between going to school in Canada and accomplishing my dream here in the States. At hebron there is a small school population, so you get the time and attention from teachers, coaches, college advisors, and even the higher-ups like the head of School. it’s a privilege for a student to be at an institution where the headmaster and your college advisor will make calls to universities on your behalf. that personal touch makes a big difference in the college application process.” mIke F., pOstgrAduAte

Dan

“The support you get at Hebron

lets you thrive. I get support

through Study Hall, the

Academic Guidance Center,

my weekly advisory group, my

teachers, my coaches, my dorm

parents and even the college

counseling office. Hebron’s

teachers and staff are experts

at teaching to the individual

because they get to know us at

such a personal level. They’re

a big safety net that helps me

recognize my strengths and

weaknesses and then work on

them.” DaN, JUNior

What Dan wants you to know about Hebron:

having Study hall each night during the week is really helpful. it lets you fully dedicate yourself to one thing: getting your homework done. most people at hebron are involved in a bunch of activities that keep their minds busy all day, but Study hall in your dorm room quiets your brain and lets you be productive. That structure is important for kids new to boarding, and there’s always a teacher on duty just a few feet away for support. even though you’re working independently, you don’t ever feel stuck.

Dan’s tips for getting the most out of your Hebron experience:

1. Smile and say hello. When i first toured hebron, what i noticed right away was how welcoming people were—they stopped their conversations just to greet my family and me. if you’re kind to everyone, you’ll make friends easily and get more out of your time here.

2. Check out the academic Guidance Center (aGC). even if you’re not assigned to it, it’s a great resource for studying tips, getting feedback on a paper, or learning how to manage your time.

3. ask for extra help. Teachers are supportive, acces-sible and there to help you; you just have to speak up.

to questions that arise. The AGC’s team approach

ensures that you’re always in touch with faculty who

can help you address all areas that need attention

and stay in control of your workload.

College CounSeling Hebron’s college

counselors work with students and their fami-

lies beginning in earnest the fall of junior year.

Through formal programs and self-assessments,

you’ll narrow your choices to find the colleges and

universities that best fit your interests and abilities.

Consistent meetings with your counselor address

everything from how to break down an applica-

tion to effective interviewing and how to boost SAT

scores. You’ll have the chance to travel to college

fairs and meet with representatives who come to

campus each year. Parents may also attend Hebron

seminars and events that address questions specific

to your child and provide exposure to authorities

in the field, including admission officers from local

colleges. Throughout the process, students maintain

constant contact with their counselor, advisor and

family.

teChnology Hebron embraces technology as

a means for students, faculty and parents to stay

connected, be productive and enhance learning. In

addition to the 60-plus Macs and PCs in campus

computer labs, as well as Smartboards and

projectors, technology has given rise to an entire

curriculum unique to Hebron. Produce short films

or commercials using iMovie in Digital Media or

dive into the language of computer processing with

Java in Computer Science. Students, teachers and

parents are in constant communication thanks to

Hebron’s online portal, a personalized dashboard

accessing grades, assignments, schedules, media

and more. So, if you missed class for a college visit,

check the Portal to get your homework, or email

your teacher using campus-wide WiFi on your

laptop.
