Harvard served pizza with grape (and students lost their minds)
Earlier this week, Harvard University announced to the student body that they would be serving “pizza with grape”. The most common train of thought students had was that the fruit would be served separately from the pizza. They were wrong.

Let’s gossip: what are our kids doing?
A JBA kid’s been accepted to UWC!
"I still remember sitting in front of the window every day, writing essays, reflecting on the experiences that shaped me and at the same time trying not to think about the 'perfect' applicant ... and it worked out.

On Monday evening I opened the email from UWC Romania, without many expectations, and found out to my surprise that I was nominated to study at UWC Changshu in China. I am still speechless. I can't wait to see where this adventure will take me and I'm very excited for what's next and I thank those who supported me in this process."
