The Ambrose family of Rowayton: Dean '23, Douglas, Peyton ‘25, and Kelly
-------------

“SLS has an exceptional ability to nurture each child’s unique interests. Faculty are passionate about their subjects and genuinely invested in every student’s growth and success. Peyton built strong relationships with her teachers, coaches, and advisors and developed the confidence to advocate for herself—skills that will undoubtedly carry over into college and help her continue to flourish."

- Kelly Ambrose, mother of Peyton

Peyton will attend Boston College.

The Ebright family of Stamford: Ryan, Deena, Brody ‘25, and Michael

-------------

“SLS has consistently challenged Brody in meaningful ways. Being surrounded by bright, like-minded peers inspired him to fully engage and strive for excellence. He will leave SLS not only as a confident and capable student, fully prepared for the academic challenges of college, but also as a thoughtful and compassionate person ready to make a positive impact in the world. SLS exceeded our expectations, and we’re deeply grateful to be part of this community."

- Dr. Deena Ebright, mother of Brody

Brody is an SLS STEM Scholar and will attend Lehigh University.

The Nelson family of Greenwich: Mackenzie '23, Robbie, Camdyn ‘25, and Drury

-------------

“SLS prepared Camdyn for college academically and athletically. The challenging coursework helped her grow as a student and learn to manage her time effectively. The athletic program helped build her leadership skills, communicate more effectively, and be a positive influence on and off the court. Both our daughters went to SLS and have succeeded beyond our wildest dreams. We feel grateful to be part of the SLS family. "

- Drury and Robbie Nelson, parents of Camdyn

Camdyn will attend Syracuse University and will play Division I Basketball.

SLS Valedictorian and Ridgefield resident Lena Olbrys and her family: Cailin ‘27, Michele, and Greg
-------------

“SLS faculty foster an environment that encourages curiosity, creativity, and independent learning. Teachers would often meet with Lena and other classmates during off-hours to explore topics that were part of the set curriculum, and also of personal academic interest to the students. The SLS core curriculum, as well as the encouragement to explore more advanced topics, has provided a lifelong love of learning and a solid foundation for the rigors of college."

- Michele and Greg Olbrys, parents of Lena

Lena is an SLS STEM Scholar. She will attend Johns Hopkins University and will play Division III Soccer.

The Minuesa family of New Canaan: Jose ‘17, Raquel, Javier ‘25, Juan, Sara ‘22, and Maria ‘18
-------------

“One of the greatest advantages of SLS has been the ease of access and close relationships with teachers, advisors, and coaches. These relationships accelerated Javier’s integration into the community and the development of his full potential academically and as a student-athlete. All four of our children attended SLS, and each, in their own way, grew in a healthy yet competitive environment that prepared them for the next stage of life."

- Raquel Sicilia de Minuesa, mother of Javier

Javier will attend Swarthmore College and play Division III soccer.

The DeFilippo family of Bedford: Liz ‘93, Ryan ‘22, Ali ‘25, and Peter
-------------

“Being at SLS gave Ali the gift of becoming more. She was seen, understood, and encouraged—not just by her advisors, but by so many faculty and staff who truly knew her. They helped her believe she could think deeper, audition for the part, become a Literary Scholar, run for student council, and try something new. Because of those relationships, she’s graduating as the brave, confident, insightful, and compassionate person she is today."

- Liz DeFilippo '93, mother of Ali

Ali is an SLS Literary Scholar and will attend Syracuse University.
