On June 6, Inly School proudly celebrated the graduation of 16 eighth-grade students—each one a unique and remarkable example of the growth, confidence, and capability fostered through Inly’s Montessori+ approach. Whether they began in Children’s House or joined more recently, each graduate has developed into a thoughtful, articulate, and passionate learner ready for the journey ahead.

A highlight of the ceremony was the tradition of student speeches. Every eighth-grader delivered a moving reflection, sharing personal stories that underscored the impact of their Inly experience. “Being a leader means paying attention. Being a leader means encouraging others. Being a leader means being someone you can count on,” said one student. Another reflected, “What I didn’t understand, and what I am really grateful my parents saw before I did, is that Inly would give me so many opportunities I wouldn’t have gotten anywhere else. Opportunities to grow and change that I didn’t ever consider.”

Many graduates have been part of the Inly community since they were toddlers, and all exemplify the qualities that define an Inly education: intellectual curiosity, practical and social skills, emotional intelligence, and a strong sense of moral responsibility. These attributes will serve them well as they continue on to a wide range of high schools, including Milton Academy, Thayer Academy, Falmouth Academy, The Newman School, Burr & Burton, South Shore Vocational Technical High School, Norwell High School, and others.

Inly’s Class of 2025 includes:
Jack Carli, Henry Dafford, Banjo deLima Rubb, Lila Ferguson, Xander Foresman, Katie Fredette, Adelina Greco, Declan Kelley-Heafitz, Winslow Levin, Chelsea Lonsdale, Ainslie Lynch, Zachary Maass, Alistair Matthews, Will Murdock, Eve Reichert, and Cora Whitmore.

As they step into high school and beyond, Inly wishes them continued growth, bold curiosity, and the courage to lead with character and compassion. Congratulations, Class of 2025!
