The Head of School’s Column<br />
We have a structured school day for all students, K-12, in<br />
order to use our time together most efficiently and<br />
effectively to accomplish our mission of “the pursuit of<br />
academic excellence.” Schools are filled with legitimate<br />
interests competing for student and teacher time, so<br />
thoughtful, well-structured scheduling is essential. And<br />
yet, there is also unstructured time built into our school<br />
day, and that’s by mission-driven design also. Let’s first<br />
see what happens during that time and then explore its<br />
educational benefits.<br />
enjoying some free time together, or gathered near their<br />
lockers in the Science Center for casual conversation.<br />
Other students will be in a classroom working on the<br />
yearbook or enjoying a chorale or ensemble rehearsal, or<br />
engaged in a student government meeting, or practicing<br />
their French, Spanish, or German at a foreign language<br />
luncheon, or participating in any number of other<br />
extracurricular opportunities. Still others will be working<br />
individually with a teacher to catch up on lessons they<br />
might have missed due to absence or seeking extra help in<br />
order to understand more clearly a challenging topic or<br />
problem. There is a surprising variety of activities<br />
occurring simultaneously.<br />
At 12:30 pm on any school day, it’s fascinating to watch<br />
the exuberance with which our lower school students<br />
emerge from Wilkens Hall to the lower school playground<br />
and playing field. With teachers supervising but not<br />
directing their play, several different kinds of ball games<br />
begin for some students while others head for their favorite<br />
playground apparatus to climb or swing, or slide down.<br />
There are some students who enjoy running around the<br />
perimeter of the playground just enjoying the sense of<br />
freedom that comes from being outside, spending time with<br />
friends. There are also a few students who may sit together<br />
on the hill or on a picnic table quietly talking and enjoying<br />
each others’ company.<br />
At about the same time, a walk over to Seapuit Field would<br />
reveal middle and high school students kicking a soccer<br />
ball, playing touch football, tossing a lacrosse ball, or<br />
sitting together to talk and socialize. Wander from there to<br />
Founders Hall and you will see a large number of middle<br />
and high school students shooting baskets, playing<br />
basketball, or playing volleyball if the nets are up. These<br />
various games in one gym tend to intrude into one another<br />
from time to time, but the students seem to have it worked<br />
out so that no one is particularly territorial, enabling sixth<br />
graders through seniors to share the same space with few,<br />
if any, problems.<br />
While all this is going on, there are also some groups of<br />
middle and high school students sitting in the Commons<br />
The academic extra-help and extracurricular activities<br />
clearly are consistent with our mission; students are<br />
“pursuing academic excellence and developing life skills,”<br />
but what about the unstructured athletic activity, free play,<br />
and social time Simply put, unstructured time is essential<br />
to all students’ growth and development and improves their<br />
academic performance as well.<br />
Educators have long understood the direct academic<br />
benefits of unstructured play and both physical education<br />
classes and athletic practices. Attention spans increase, the<br />
ability to focus on academic tasks grows, and students<br />
behave more appropriately in their learning environment.<br />
All of us who work with children see this every day, and<br />
there is new research that supports these anecdotal<br />
observations. A recent New York Times article, “The 3<br />
R’s A fourth is Crucial, Too: Recess” highlights the<br />
findings of Dr. Romina M. Barros, a pediatrician at Albert<br />
Einstein College of Medicine, Dr. Andrea Faber Taylor, a<br />
child environment and behavior researcher at University of<br />
Illinois, and Dr. Stuart Brown, a psychiatrist and author of<br />
Play: How it Shapes the Brain, Opens the Imagination and<br />
Invigorates the Soul.<br />
A helpful explanation is offered by distinguishing between<br />
“directed” and “involuntary” attention. The former is what<br />
all of us employ while attending to academic tasks—<br />
reading, composing essays and stories, solving math<br />
problems, drawing conclusions from science experiments,
taking tests. When children spend time outside the school<br />
building in unstructured activity, their minds often engage<br />
in “involuntary” attention. Human beings can become<br />
“attentionally fatigued” after prolonged periods of<br />
engagement in “directed attention.” Time spent engaged in<br />
“involuntary attention” tends to replenish and strengthen<br />
one’s reserve of “directed” attention. Hence the academic<br />
benefit of recess, unstructured time, physical education and<br />
athletics is increased focus on academic tasks. My sense is<br />
that different students benefit from different varieties of<br />
“involuntary” attention. As with so many aspects of<br />
healthy living, finding the appropriate balance between<br />
these different forms of attention is a key ingredient to<br />
success and well-being.<br />
At CCA, we try hard to find the right, age-appropriate<br />
balance between these two kinds of attention, and the<br />
results are very encouraging. Our students, K-12, put forth<br />
considerable effort on academic tasks while also finding<br />
healthy, productive ways to use their free, unstructured<br />
time. As a result, their powers of concentration and<br />
academic output increase impressively over time.<br />
Interestingly then, but not surprisingly, morning break,<br />
lunchtime and recess are important components of CCA’s<br />
mission-driven curriculum.<br />

Annual Fund News<br />
If you’ve driven onto campus recently, you’ve seen<br />
our Annual Fund thermometer—constructed and<br />
painted over February break by our devoted<br />
maintenance crew! When they learned we really<br />
needed to promote the Annual Fund to everyone, they<br />
offered to build the sign—saving us money and at the<br />
same time, helping us raise it! This is one of the<br />
greatest things about CCA—everyone works together<br />
to make this school the very best it can be.<br />
If you haven’t contributed to our Annual Fund yet<br />
this school year, please consider how you can help.<br />
Each gift, large, small, or in-between, helps CCA<br />
provide the best education for the students. We do<br />
need EVERYONE to do what they can.<br />
Double Your Money Challenge<br />
In mid-<strong>April</strong>, our wonderful phonathon volunteers will be reaching out to contact you for your<br />
Annual Fund gift. We know each of you will be as kind and enthusiastic with your response as you always<br />
are. This year, CCA is fortunate to have a pledge to match each gift we receive during the week of our<br />
phonathons. What a wonderful way to double your money and increase your contribution to CCA’s Annual<br />
Fund! If our callers somehow miss you during phonathon nights, you can make your pledge through our<br />
website www.capecodacademy.org or by phone and it, too, will be matched!<br />
Please help us reach our Annual Fund goal!

By mid-<strong>April</strong>, seniors will have received admissions and<br />
financial aid decisions from all of their colleges. It is often<br />
helpful for seniors to visit the colleges they are considering<br />
again before making a final decision. Most colleges<br />
sponsor Open House days this month for accepted students;<br />
an overnight visit can often be arranged, as well.<br />

enrollment deposit to one college to reserve their place in<br />
the fall.<br />
On May 6 th at 8:00 am, the Parents Association meeting<br />
will focus on “college admissions from the parents’<br />
perspective.” Parents of this year’s graduating seniors will<br />

some invaluable tips!<br />
Parents of seniors, we are still looking for volunteers for<br />
our panel. Please call us if you would like to share your<br />
wisdom.<br />
The spring vacation can be an excellent time for juniors to<br />
visit college campuses for a "first look." College classes<br />

Lower School News<br />
A walk through the halls of the Lower School reveals<br />
its dynamic, lively environment; this is a school where<br />
children thrive on learning. Art is everywhere. Native<br />
American baskets created by fourth graders are displayed<br />
in one case. Brightly colored, paper woven<br />
mats made by kindergarteners hang in another. A third<br />
showcases folded, laminated books, representing hours<br />
of research by second graders. Voices, musical and<br />
happy, resonate in the hallways. Patriotic songs start<br />
the day, while songs about the latest holiday or celebrating<br />
a birthday are often heard coming from one<br />
classroom or another. Play and musical ensemble rehearsals<br />
add to the joyful noise. Even with so much<br />
creative activity, the primary focus is on academic<br />
training that challenges students to stretch and grow<br />
intellectually, following their natural curiosity. Outside<br />
the third grade classroom hangs a gigantic floor<br />
to ceiling chart showing the minutes of daylight lost<br />
since the beginning of school, and now being gained<br />
since the winter solstice. Masterfully written persuasive<br />
essays hang outside one fifth grade classroom,<br />
while outside the other a timeline of pictures and<br />
scripts shows a fourth and fifth grade collaboration on<br />
a play based on a novel read by both. First graders<br />
have combined the arts and the study of computation<br />
by drawing monsters out of the inequality signs learned<br />
in math class. The Lower School halls teem with the<br />
joy and excitement of learning; one only has to take a<br />
stroll to experience it.<br />

Note from Admissions<br />
As you can see in these pages, we will be hosting an<br />
Admissions Open House on Saturday, <strong>April</strong> 4, from 1:00-<br />
3:00 pm. We have had a very good admissions season thus<br />
far, with increased interest in our Lower School, and<br />
continued strong interest in the other divisions. The Spring<br />
Open House is another great opportunity to introduce CCA<br />
to new families. Some visitors will look with future years<br />
in mind, but others might be curious about spaces for this<br />
September. Until our financial aid decisions are made later<br />
this month, we will be uncertain of the composition of<br />
each grade, so we remain interested in considering<br />
applications for the coming year.<br />
Several weeks ago, parents received a mailing from our<br />
office with our new viewbook and return postage inquiry<br />
cards. I want to thank those of you who have already<br />
utilized those cards to send families in our direction. I<br />
encourage everyone to use those cards whenever you<br />
encounter a family with children who would benefit from<br />
the many advantages that CCA provides. Those of us with<br />
children attending CCA have witnessed those advantages<br />
first-hand, so we are in the best position to tell another<br />
family how pleased we are with the school. I want to<br />
thank all of our families for their support of our efforts in<br />
admissions and for helping to make CCA the special place<br />
that it is.<br />
