“I enjoy helping students understand how they learn and how to use their individual strengths to their advantage.”
Upper School Learning Support Specialist Sarah Bond, who grew up in New Jersey, originally considered becoming a history teacher but found she enjoyed working in special education. She previously worked at the Churchill School and Brooklyn Friends. Sarah says her role is to provide support to students in Grades 9 and 11 students, building relationships so they have someone to go to when they need to talk. She can empathize with high school students, having not really loved high school herself. She reminds students we all think differently and that is okay. In her work, she tries to help students understand what is going on in their own brains and how to use their brains to their advantage. That might mean small successes toward a goal. Sarah says she is passionate about music and once considered A&R as a career. Her go-to music is indie because it is a genre that is always reinventing itself.
