The Story of Pressman
Since the fall of 2019 Dr. Erica Rothblum has been writing monthly essays exploring themes that we, as a school community, are grappling with. Topics range from boredom to decision making, from boundaries to gratitude. We’re thrilled to share these pieces with you. They offer a meaningful glimpse into both the vision and the values of Pressman Academy.
