We kicked off our fall conference season earlier this month at the North American Boarding School Workshop (NABSW) in London, England. Representing New Summit Academy and The Bridge Costa Rica, Strategic Enrollment Director Adam Beeson joined boarding school colleagues, international agents, and educational consultants from around the world for several days of connection and professional exchange.

The NABSW event provided an ideal setting to share how New Summit Academy and The Bridge create supportive boarding and study abroad experiences for students who benefit from intentional community, experiential learning, and holistic personal growth. Conversations throughout the workshop reinforced a shared commitment among schools and partners to help students thrive academically, emotionally, and socially.

Beyond the formal meetings, many of the most meaningful moments came during informal conversations: exchanging ideas, comparing experiences, and exploring future collaborations that strengthen healthy, student-centered communities across borders.

The London workshop marked the first of several professional events this season. Dr. Danny Recio, Director of The Bridge Costa Rica, recently attended the Young Adult Transition Association (YATA) conference in San Diego, and next month Executive Director Dr. Heather Tracy will join Danny and Adam at NE NATSAP in Burlington, Vermont, The Association of Boarding Schools (TABS) in Boston, Massachusetts, and for boarding school visits across New England.

Together, these events reflect an ongoing commitment to global connection, shared learning, and the continued growth of supportive educational communities.
