“I love the Middle School scholars’ Schickler Society. I look forward to it every week because it's a great opportunity to learn more about the world outside of Sevenoaks and has allowed me to form my own opinions. Such a society is the kind of thing I hope exists in schools everywhere, as I believe that listening to others' opinions and creating one's own ideas are vital to a school environment. ”
