"Courtney Mills (Director of Operations & Admissions) and Amy Carroll (Head of School) are the rocks that anchor the school to greatness, sincerity, and experiential education; they ensure the mission of the Laurel School and Laurel Day Camp is carried out in every tentacle of its operations. As a parent of two Laurel School students, I have learned so much from their approach to children simply by observing their interactions with students during drop off and pick up, at which they are ALWAYS present. How they fit all their responsibilities into a 24 hour day, all the while being 100% present for all students and us parents, I will never know. But the world - and especially the Cape Cod community - should know that I stand among many parents who believe that entrusting these two (and their incredible team of teachers!) with the care and education of our children was one of the best decisions I have made."
