What makes your independent school thrive? As we get ready for Thrive 2025, we're asking schools to share their insights. Here is what we heard from Chapel Hill-Chauncy Hall School. "At Chapel Hill-Chauncy Hall School, we lead with empathy. Leading with empathy means more than just being kind. It means actively listening to one another, valuing diverse perspectives, and creating an environment where everyone feels seen, heard, and respected. It is about creating a culture where we support each other in times of need, celebrate each other's successes, and grow stronger together." What makes your school thrive? Write to [email protected] to share your thoughts with photos or a short video for social media. #NAISThrive
