Leah Rapperport,
Class of 2010
After graduating from WSL, Leah attended the Cambridge School of Weston and went on to Mount Holyoke College, where she is majoring in politics with a studio art minor. In her freshman year, Leah was selected as one of 25 people to join the LEAD Program at the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) University, a prestigious honor. She secured a planning grant, partnered with two Boston-area nonprofits, and spent the summer developing curriculum to teach entrepreneurship to young women in Roxbury, Dorchester, and Mattapan. The following summer, Leah received grants from CGI and Mount Holyoke to pilot the program. In the five-week program, participants learned the basics of entrepreneurship, created business plans, and completed a community project. Leah put the curriculum online, hoping to encourage more young people to design self-directed learning experiences. Last summer, Leah interned at CameroonONE, the first organization of its kind to pair Cameroonian orphans with relatives throughout West Africa.
Chloe Goldstein
Class of 2010
It would be tough to stay at WSL longer than Chloe Goldstein. She started in the Parent-Child program and graduated after 8th grade, clocking over ten years at the school! After graduating from Concord-Carlisle High, Chloe enrolled at Emerson College, where she is now a senior majoring in journalism with a marketing minor. As a junior, Chloe spent a semester in Barcelona, which allowed her to study and travel through Europe, visiting Istanbul, Marrakech, Amsterdam, and Prague. She also served as the news director of WERS, where she was responsible for three shows and oversaw a news team of more than 40 students. Last summer, Chloe spent a semester in Sydney at the University of Technology and did an internship at a Sydney TV station. “Waldorf allowed me to discover that I like taking leadership roles. Waldorf also taught me the importance of expression through art and how important it is to get outside and appreciate nature.”
Matthew Mueller
Class of 2010
Matt Mueller’s time at WSL changed his life forever. His performance in The Phantom Tollbooth at WSL in 2010 sparked a love of theater that has only grown. After going to Arlington High School, Matt went to Syracuse University, where he majored in acting for theatre and film. As a rising senior, Matt spent the summer in Los Angeles taking classes with LA casting directors and interning at the Media Artists Group, a talent agency that represents many TV and film actors. He is currently in New York City for the Tepper Semester, where students take classes with some of the top casting directors and professors in the city. He will also get the opportunity to see 15 Broadway and off-Broadway shows during the semester.
“I completely credit Waldorf for much of my artistic self—it is something I reflect on often,” Matt said. “No matter what I do in life, I know that the skill set Waldorf gives its students is valuable for any career path and makes them well rounded, balanced individuals.”
