"Courtney Ross has devoted her life to holistic education for young
people. Educating the Whole Child for the Whole World tells the
marvelous story of how one day they will be our future leaders and
help create a peaceful, just, sustainable and healthy society."
*Deepak Chopra*
"For more than two decades, everything that carries Courtney Ross’
imprint has symbolized international, out-of-the-box originality,
especially through her efforts in education. One extraordinary
example of this was the 2001 Sonic Convergence: A Glimpse Into the
Global Classroom project. I was involved, both in person and
through the use of cutting edge media, mentoring students and
faculty participating in the USA, China, and Sweden; then we came
together and made beautiful music as I conducted their final,
global composition."
*Quincy Jones*
"Ive always believed that education is freedom. It opens the door
to greater possibilities. In my lifes work in education, Ive turned
to Courtney Ross to provide insight and inspiration. The Ross
School is an exemplary model of what is attainable for global
education in the 21st Century."
*Oprah Winfrey*
"Courtney Ross and I are co-workers in the vineyard of the
education of the young. I was inspired when I visited the Ross
School years ago. In my own work in founding the now 20-years-old
Illinois Math and Science Academy (IMSA), I appreciated the unique
qualities of Ross. The Ross School model is clearly a profound
example of what the nation and the world needs so desperately."
*Leon M. Lederman,Nobel Laureate in Physics*
"When I visited the Long Island Ross School I was struck by the way
Courtney Ross and her team successfully brought together the
elements of an effective school: reflective teachers, innovative
curriculum, and student-centered instruction. It is no wonder that
the school has been a magnet for some of the most influential
education thinkers of our time. In Educating the Whole Child for
the Whole World, Suarez-Orozco and Sattin-Bajaj have created a
multi-faceted meditation on the ever-evolving Ross model of
education, with relevant lessons for educators everywhere."
*Kathleen McCartney,Dean, Harvard Graduate School of Education*
