Kabren Levinson’s Education
-
Bard College
Philosophy 2008 — 2012 (expected)
- Activities and Societies:
- Jewish Students Organization
-
Cambridge School of Weston
2004 — 2008
I have thoroughly enjoyed my experience at CSW. Though it has its problems (as all schools do), it has offered my an alternative educational philosophy that works for me. For example, students and teachers, and even school administration, are close to one another.
I am currently working with the Assistant Head of School to develop a technology program - student focused - at my school. Part of this program will be a series of student-taught classes, available to both faculty and students, about technical "things" (podcasting, web design, blogging, etc). In addition, I am pioneering a partnership between my school and another organization.- Activities and Societies:
- Gryphon's Eye (school news paper) photography and layout/design
