Student Experience

Student Leadership

Overview

From the start, Spence students begin to take pride in growing their knowledge and skills as they contribute in so many ways to the joyful community that is their school.
Spence nurtures strong leadership within each division by fostering an environment that helps students take initiative, explore ways to lead, and find their voice as they build meaningful connections in their school community and beyond.
“There’s so much space for our students to create the school that they’re going to day to day.”

—ELIZABETH CAUSEY, HEAD OF LOWER SCHOOL
“I see our role as both preparing students for leadership and encouraging them to question what leadership is supposed to look like.”
 
—ERIC ZAHLER, DIRECTOR OF TEACHING AND LEARNING
A K-12 independent school in New York City, The Spence School prepares a diverse community of girls and young women for the demands of academic excellence and responsible citizenship.
