In 1877, our founder, Eliza Masters, urged her hardworking students to “Do it with thy might,” and we continue to embrace this challenge. Students and faculty at Masters work, learn, play, and collaborate – with their might. Our students achieve academic excellence not only because of our talented, creative, and caring faculty, but also because the Masters community emphasizes inclusion and belonging. But what do those things have to do with learning? The psychologist Abraham Maslow outlined t…

In 1980, Kildonan moved to its present home in Amenia, NY, in the Berkshires' foothills. The 460-acre campus had been the site of Barlow School and had several dormitories, a schoolhouse, a library, and an art building. In 1983 the summer program, Camp Dunnabeck, moved from Pennsylvania and became a part of The Kildonan School. Over time, with the trustees' support, Kildonan was able to add a large boys' dormitory, a girls' dormitory, and an elementary building to house day students in grades 1 through 6. Six years ago, at Oregon State University, a team of scientists tried to create a new substance that would be useful in making electronic devices. They combined the ch…
