Survival Story
Students Safe, Ship Sank. We were shocked to learn of the sinking of the S.V. Concordia, a sailing ship outfitted as a world-travelling classroom, and thrilled to find out that all students and sailors made it to land safely. Our Kids' Editor David Field interviewed survivors and alumni of this amazing education program.
Financial Functions
There are many things to discover within the pages of the Our Kids websites. This month we focus on articles to help families plan for the expenses of sending children to private schools and summer camps.

If you have an interest in education (seems natural for parents!) you may want to watch for our new Dialogue Educators Podcast.
