Dear Met Community,
I am thrilled to welcome you all to another exciting school year at The Met! To our returning families,
welcome back—we are so glad to have you with us again. And to our new families, especially our new
9th graders, welcome to the start of an incredible journey. You are now part of a community where each
of you will chart your own path, develop your passions, and build a future that’s as unique as you are.
For our new 9th graders, this is the start of your Met career, and what an adventure it will be! You’re
joining a school that believes in the power of Real World Learning, where you’ll have the chance to
learn both inside and outside of the classroom. From internships to community projects, we’re here to
help you discover and develop your interests in ways that will take you far beyond the traditional school
experience. Right now, our advisors and staff are hard at work setting up meaningful Real World
Learning opportunities to make sure every student has a chance to learn, grow, and explore their
passions.
We’ve also had an exciting start to the school year with some incredible events. Recently, we hosted
educators from the Netherlands, as part of our ongoing collaboration with Big Picture Learning’s global
network. Their visit was a chance to share our work and learn from their experiences, strengthening the
international ties that help us grow as a school. And before that, we welcomed a delegation of
educators from China, bringing even more opportunities for global exchange.
It’s a busy and exciting time here at The Met, and I am filled with pride and optimism as I look at all the
incredible opportunities that lie ahead for our students and our community. Together, we will continue
to grow, learn, and support one another on this journey.
Here’s to a fantastic school year!
Warmly,
Nancy Diaz
Director of Schools
