About
Leadership & Vision
Welcome from Julie Salit, Head of School
I love school. Yes, I said it. I love school. For literally 50 years, I have begun each September going to school, teaching at school, or leading a school. I recall setting out my first day outfit, buying my new school supplies, and becoming more and more excited as the first day of school drew nearer.
I remember feeling the excitement and the anxiety of meeting my new teachers. I recall the nervousness of attending a new school and wondering who my friends would be.
And then somewhere along the way, I began to think about my twin brother. He hated school. Yes, I said it. He hated school. At the time I didn’t understand why, but I certainly do today! School was the same for everyone. We got on a bus, we arrived to school, we sat in rows, we handwrote everything. Jeff wrote very slowly, and his penmanship was difficult to read. This often led to missed points, lower grades, and a
feeling of dread when going to school each day—a cycle that continued year after year.
Today we know too much about the developing brain and we have made great adjustments to teaching and learning. At Cape Cod Academy our personalized approach leads to success in the classroom, on the stage, on the athletic surfaces, and in the hallways. The personalized attention each student receives enables them to
learn more and become more.
Our CCA faculty develop rich relationships with their students because they care about children, their goals, their progress. Our faculty want to know how their students performed in a game or dance recital the evening before. They cherish their students’ artwork and relish in their laughter and good deeds. They embody the Mission and core values of Scholarship, Integrity, Compassion, and Respect in all they do. Our
faculty—my colleagues—are what make this place truly awesome!
I hope you will schedule a visit to our beautiful 46-acre campus so you can experience all of this and more. We cannot wait to welcome you!
