In the first episode of the new season, host Linda Pryor, Executive Director of the Center for Mission & Academics at Brookfield Academy, speaks with Doug Ricci, Head of School. 

The two talk about the value of setting a theme for each year and how they each think about this year's theme: Unlock the Power of Intellect. 

The school's Five Stars - Truth, Character, Intellect, Heritage, and Individuality - are incorporated into all aspects of academics and student life, and the annual theme encourages the school's community to go even more deeply into a specific Star in a given year. 

BA is well known for offering exceptional academics and while the theme Unlock the Power of Intellect seems to align directly to schoolwork, Mrs. Pryor and Mr. Ricci, talk about the many other dimensions it offers for exploration.
