Before coming to The Hun School from Shanghai, China, Coco Z. ’23 had almost no knowledge of what philosophy was and all that it was capable of teaching her about herself and life.

On a whim during her sophomore year, she decided to join the philosophy club because she was seeking more interaction with her classmates while she was attending classes virtually from home. Almost immediately Coco became fascinated by the subject matter. During junior year, she enrolled in intro to philosophy, AP psychology, and the NextTerm course Transcend and Transform. 

Myles B. '19 shares his story of the moments and mentors at The Hun School who helped him get to where he is now.

During a conversation with a dorm parent on a quiet Tuesday night, Hanan A. ’23 shared a phrase in her religion that roughly translates to “if I save one’s life, then I save everyone’s life”. She mentioned that this phrase is one of her guiding principles and she often seeks opportunities to put these words into action in her own life. 

Carpentry is familiar territory to Jack O’Keefe ’24; he grew up going to work with his dad, who is a general contractor. Jack recalls always being intrigued by the concept of building something to solve a problem, but admits he never thought of it as a career opportunity for himself … Until a request to fill an art credit led him to sign up for tech theater on a whim. Jack instantly fell in love with the fact he could use carpentry to create something that comes to life, that actors live on, and that an audience is awed by.
