Thank you to everyone who came out to the 40th Anniversary Art Exhibition at Marburn Academy!
Marburn Academy partnered with world renowned artist Paul Hamilton, to create an art exhibit saluting 40 years of educating students who learn differently. Under the guidance of Artist In Residence Hamilton, and art faculty member Sally Sayre, 34 students from all divisions created original works of art celebrating individuality, creative expression, and the artist in themselves. Additionally, students produced two collaborative installations. The "Pillars of Excellence" is a permanent outdoor sculpture addition to the piazza and is made of individual panels painted by each student in the program. In "Earth Song," students painted concentric circles representing their interpretation of the earth's core and its many layers.
Special thanks to the Belford Family, Hammond Harkins Gallery, Marjorie Garek, Sally Sayre, Samantha Savage and Rod Savage.
After reading "Swimmy" by Leo Lionni, Lower Division students adapted the story into a play. Working with the drama and music departments, students developed new characters, added fresh dialogue, and helped craft songs. Last week, the students performed their original work for classmates, family, and friends!
They rocked it!
This week, our Lower Division took to the trees at ZipZone for their spring Voyageurs trip. The high ropes course provided students opportunities to hone skills in leadership and teamwork. These interactive experiences are valuable, unique, and fun ways for our students to gain confidence by overcoming challenges.
Hooray!! Brings back such good memories!❤️❤️
Thanks for offering this opportunity!
One of Hannah’s favorite trips!

Our Mission: At Marburn Academy, we celebrate students who learn differently, empowering them to awaken their potential, to achieve success in school and life, and to drive positive change in our comm...This Middle Division class had fun with histograms as they analyzed frequency tables with data about grams of sugar in soda, laptop battery percentages at the end of the day, the ages of US presidents, and more. They then made an "Instagram post" that featured a histogram they created to display the data. Students were able to "like" and "comment" on the symmetry, trends, and interesting facts they noticed and learned from each other's projects.
Middle Division students created scale models of the sizes of our planets using Play-Doh. Starting out with a large clump of Play-Doh, each student received a portion that would represent their planet. The clay planets together created a scale model of the solar system and visual representation of our planet compared to others.
