Back to School 2021
A New Year of Success Begins
It’s a joy to see our students and staff back together in-person. Everyone is doing their part to make this year’s return to classes safe and successful. This journal entry written by a new student on his first day on campus captures the optimistic spirit you feel at all the PHILLIPS Schools.
Follow us on Facebook to see posts about the first week of the new school year, as well as the fun and enriching experiences students enjoyed this summer in our ESY programs. Find out about a visit from a local TV meteorologist, building a huge Lego Land and launching paper rockets.
The new school year also brings a new Instagram page for PHILLIPS Programs. Please follow us and bookmark the page to see all of our latest photos and videos.

This House Is Now a Home
As expected, the luxurious house on Holyoke Dr. in Annandale constructed by our Building Futures students was snapped up almost immediately after it went on the market last month. The owners have moved in and we’re sure they appreciate the fine work of our students and their instructors.
