New Director for Spring Street International School
posted 03/05/2008
Spring Street International School has hired Louis O’Prussack as its new Director of
School. Louis will officially join the school on July 1, 2008. A teacher and administrator
for more than 18 years, Louis O’Prussack has lived throughout the U.S. and, for a time, abroad
in France.
For the last 16 years, he has been Assistant Head of School at a small, college
preparatory boarding-day school in Ojai, California. The Besant Hill School has a strong
focus on creative expression and Louis taught mathematics and physics, in addition to
his administrative duties.
He and his wife Jennifer are very excited to be moving back to
the Northwest, and to be bringing their two young children, Caeden and Aiyana to a
place that they love. The whole family is looking forward with great anticipation to
living in a place where the word community has real depth and meaning behind it, and
where integrity, understanding, and compassion are a vital part of the fabric of the
community.
SSIS expands boarding program and seeks host family volunteers
academic year 2008 - 2009 (Sept. – June)
posted 02/05/2008
Spring Street International School is delighted to announce that we are seeking to expand our boarding offerings to include host family stays for both international and U.S. boarding students. In addition to our dormitory, we are looking to place international full-time boarding and U. S. weekday boarding students in host family environments.
Qualified families will have a marvelous opportunity to support our mission of education in cultural diversity and global citizenship. We will have a choice of boys and girls ranging in age from 15-17, from a variety of countries and the Pacific Northwest.
International students will board full time, with the exception of SSIS travel, while U.S. students will usually be weekday boarders, traveling home on weekends.
Host families will be compensated for their services with a monthly payment per student, based on full or part time boarding. Full student profiles will be provided and host family interviews will be required. Please note that host families are eligible for a modest tax deduction for every month of hosting.
Hosting a student can be a wonderful cultural and developmental experience and our campus life will be dramatically enhanced by the presence of these students. If you are interested in hosting a student please contact us at the school.
