Spotlight On: Strengthening Writing at Queenwood

19 September 2025

When ChatGPT became publicly available at the end of 2022, it sparked widespread speculation about the future of writing. Headlines predicted the decline of high school English in The Atlantic, the demise of the university essay in The New Yorker, and even 'the end of writing' itself in The Spectator. At Queenwood, we continue to provide comprehensive writing instruction across a range of subjects, not only in English.

Spotlight On: Queenwood Is My Superman

15 August 2025

At Queenwood, we’re taught not just to achieve, but to live by our values of truth, courage and service. These aren’t just words printed in a handbook; they are at the core of who we are.

Spotlight On: 2024

29 November 2024

With the end of the 2024 school year just days away, I want to finish the year the way I began: by thanking you for being so welcoming. I have had many ‘first days’ at schools.

Spotlight On: Sustainability, Making a Positive Impact

22 November 2024

Daily, we juggle a lot—school, work, chores, and friends. It can be hard to find time for a cause or hobby. But often, making a positive impact is about making small, conscious choices in our lives, and it doesn’t have to take up much time or effort.
