The Village School recently added a competitive internship program to support its long-standing commitment to rigorous academic curriculum.
Some of the inaugural internship partners include: Texas Children’s Hospital, Methodist Institute for Technology, Innovation and Education (MITIE), Barbara Bush Houston Literacy Foundation, David Young & Co/Young Intelligence, and Henderson Law Firm.
A sophomore at The Village School, Sharan S., completed 215 hours this summer working with Methodist Institute for Technology, Innovation and Education (MITIE).
“We assisted the surgical techs there,” said Sharan. “If a surgeon asked, we would help suture up cadavers too.”
Sharan and other summer interns also gave tours of the facilities and were able to answer different questions about the work being done at MITIE. This opportunity gave Sharan a chance to gain real-world experience, while still in high school.
“When I grow up I want to be a physician, possibly a surgeon,” said Sharan. “This really gave me exposure to the many aspects of surgery and it’s amazing to see.”
Sharan started his educational journey with The Village School in 4th grade. Currently his favorite subject is biology. He believes his passion for medicine and the quality of teachers at The Village School has given him solid foundation for success.
Every school is home to exceptional individuals dedicated to making a positive impact on their community. Whether it's through class initiatives, service projects, or independent efforts, students are constantly striving to improve the world around them.
At The Village School, these initiatives shine brightly as students embrace opportunities to lead with empathy and purpose. One such example is a project started by Milan Drummond, a 12th grader with a passion for justice and community well-being. Through her initiative, Harmony Highways, Milan is working to improve relations between the public and law enforcement, reflecting both her desire to make a difference and her career aspirations.
During the summer time, vacations, pools, and fun are certainly on children’s minds. However, it’s also important to incorporate learning into their day. Summer learning loss, also known as the "summer slide," refers to the decline in academic and social skills that can occur when children are not engaged in educational activities during the summer months. Dana Sheridan, LPC, Lower School Counselor at The Village School, sheds light on this issue and offers practical solutions for parents to keep their children's minds active during the long summer break.
