About Me

Hi everyone! I'm a senior at Stanford OHS, and I love all things ancient, Latin, technological innovation, art, and architecture. When I'm not in school I love baking, reading, and walking my Sheepadoodle, Newton, by the beach. At Stanford OHS, I have made like-minded friends that enjoy school, and love learning. We enjoy getting together during meet-ups and via Zoom.

Why I Chose Stanford OHS

I'm drawn by the global community of students who are passionate about learning, willing to take intellectual risks, and engaged inside and beyond the classroom. I’m attracted by the school’s placement policy of enabling students to pursue courses based on their readiness, rather than by their age. I’ve been enjoying the challenging curriculum that includes post-AP and university-level courses, taught by scholars with genuine expertise. I also value the continuity and freedom that Stanford OHS provides, which enables me to continue my high school studies without disruption, when my family moved, to travel, and to pursue additional academic enrichment opportunities during the school year without missing classes.
