Making Waves In Education
at Our Sisters' School

 December 1, 2017



Powerful Imagination

When Massachusetts Middle School Art Teacher of the Year, Tobey Eugenio, has an idea, it lights up the whole school community.  OSS is lucky because Ms. Eugenio hatches and incubates ideas at a rapid pace!  In the three years since her arrival, our building, grounds and program have all been transformed.  

Thanks to her boundless energy, the walls of our school are decorated with carefully crafted and meaningful art work created by students who thrive in a choice-based classroom.  We now have a growing STEAM program grounded in a commitment to the four C's: Creativity, Collaboration, Communication, and Critical Thinking.  Our Outdoor Classroom, designed to meet the highest standards set by Nature Explore, is overflowing with opportunities for students to engage in inspired and playful wonder. 

Comfortable and capable with shovel, lego robot or paint brush, Tobey is a leader and a role model.  Her students and fellow teachers are fantastically fortunate.

Our mission, as an independent, tuition-free, nonsectarian middle school, is to educate and inspire economically disadvantaged girls from the New Bedford area. Our Sisters' School empowers girls to step into the future with valuable life skills and a mindset of achievement and excellence by providing a safe, supportive, and academically challenging environment.
