The newest ASSIST class gathered at Pomfret School in Pomfret, Connecticut, from August 20-24 for an enjoyable and productive Orientation program. To share in the experience, we invite you to view the slide show (shown on the entertainment evening on the last night) and to peruse the schedule of events. As well, we have included several reflections from faculty and staff.
Thank you for offering the joy of spending time with all ASSIST staff and with so many wonderful people from all over the world! This orientation also helped me very much to prepare for a new school year and for a new type of life...
[Our daughter] told us that ASSIST orientation was four of the most beautiful days of her life. We are happy about her and ASSIST.
I am so overwhelmed by how the ASSIST Orientation has impacted me. Being in the presence of and getting to know those 130 students and staff was such an honor!
