January 7th, 2022
Dan Korobkin ’98, the Legal Director of the Michigan American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), has an old TV poster on his office wall.

The Play’s the Thing for the Shakespeare on Love Senior Seminar
December 10th, 2021
In the summer of 2005, I was fortunate enough to participate in a National Endowment for the Humanities summer course entitled Shakespeare in Production. University of Delaware professors Jay Halio, an eminent Shakespeare scholar, and Leslie Reidel, Director of the Professional Theater Program, led English and drama teachers in a study of Shakespeare intended to, in the words of Peggy O’Brien, who has led the Education Depart at the Folger Library quite brilliantly for decades, “set Shakespeare free.”

We see the 0.1%
that makes you, well,
YOU.
And we do our very best to draw it out daily. On average, any two people have 99.9% identical DNA. That means what makes you you is what comes from that remaining 0.1%. At Greenhills, we've crafted our entire 6th- through 12th-grade experience (and our approach to teaching) to unleash the full power of that 0.1%. So you can go out into the world — uniquely and confidently you. A one-of-a-kind work of art with the ability to do anything you set your very distinctive brain to.
