Accord Welcomes Bruce Frost!

Summer, 2025

We're thrilled to announce that Bruce Frost has joined The Accord team as the new Director of Programming for The Accord Center!

The Accord Center is our expanding space dedicated to experiential, social-emotional, and enrichment programs for neurodivergent children, teenagers, young adults, and families. As the Center has grown, it became clear we needed a dedicated leader to help us offer even more incredible opportunities.

Bruce comes to us with extensive experience in public and independent schools, as well as extracurricular programming, and he deeply understands the unique needs of neurodivergent thinkers. He previously collaborated with our students as Director of Education at Holly Hill Farm. We're incredibly excited for the creative vision Bruce will bring to expand our offerings.

This new position, along with facility and programming upgrades for The Accord Center, was made possible by the incredible generosity of over 120 donors who collectively raised more than $200,000! We are immensely grateful for this community support.

Look out for our Fall session programming announcement in early August, with opportunities designed for young people ages 5-30 and their families. Programs will continue to expand throughout the 2025-26 school year.

We can't wait to see our young people thrive in this bustling new space! [Read full press release]
