Miss Prestwick posesses a lively spirit of inquiry which extends to topics far beyond those in which she was formally trained. But she knows also that in addition to being a place of learning and growth, a school is a place of order and discipline. Thus, she is passionate about correct record-keeping and utter propriety in all matters bureaucratic.
She knows, through her lengthy experience in teaching and mentoring adolescent girls, that their variety is infinite. In the schoolroom she strives to maintain at all times an encouraging demeanor. The enthusiastic pupil will likely be rewarded with smiles and verbal encouragement. Those less so, or whose spirit of inquiry has been misdirected, will be equally encouraged with the palm of her hand. The goal is to produce girls who – in addition to being successful takers of tests – will prove to be successful independent learners.
