Dear members of the Canterbury School community:
In so many ways, Canterbury School’s 2011-12 school year was a source of tremendous pride
and further illustrated what a difference a Canterbury School education can make. As the only
PK-12 independent school in Lee County, our faculty and staff continued to enhance the unique
educational experience for our students. Everyone worked tirelessly to create exceptional offerings
in academics, athletics and the arts as well as further enhanced commitments to internationalism
and STEM.
Running a highly successful school depends on a team effort, and we deeply appreciate the
incredible support we have received from our donors, parents and volunteers including members
of our board of trustees, Parents’ Association and Cougar Athletic Club.
Brian Hummel
Annually we all feel tremendous pride in our seniors’ college acceptances and scholarship awards.
Our students’ excellent SAT and ACT scores again set Canterbury apart from every other school
in the county, and our graduating seniors matriculated to many of our country’s most prestigious
colleges and universities. We are confident that they leave well-prepared for college and for life.
This past year, Canterbury School students competed at a very high level in a variety of activities at
the state, national and international levels. Proudly, Canterbury ranked 12th in the nation in Model
United Nations (MUN), students competed at the Intel International Science & Engineering Fair,
and we placed first in the state for the third consecutive year in the French Congrès. Our 6-man
football team won the first state football championship of any school in Lee County, and the school
again led the charge by winning the News-Press’ Most Spirited School Award for the second year
in a row.
This year’s fundraising results were especially gratifying, thanks to our steadfast supporters as well as
donors new to the school. Because of the participation of all of our constituents in our fundraising
efforts, we have demonstrated a renewed focus on philanthropy. We exceeded our Annual Fund
goal of $350,000 with 100 percent board and faculty giving, and 63 percent parent participation.
We netted more than $100,000 on the Extravaganza dinner and auction for scholarships, and
a gift from the Parents’ Association will make it possible for us to reinforce our commitment to
technology. We raised $815,000 in cash for the Canterbury endowment fund and focused on
seeking gifts to sustain the school’s mission well into the future.
Anna Smith
Tony Paulus
We were awarded a grant from the prestigious Edward E. Ford Foundation, which puts Canterbury
on a list of the finest independent schools. The grant will support faculty cutting-edge initiatives
in technology, science, math, the arts and international relations.
In 2012-13, we will experience an upturn in enrollment with nearly 100 new students expected
for the opening of school. From our growing Upper School admissions to a reinstituted PK-3
program, we continue to build on the seamless PK-12 educational offerings and the breadth of
extracurricular and sports programs.
Leveraging our considerable strengths and the momentum generated this year, our theme for
2012-13 is Culture of Excellence, Spirit of Innovation. We are confident that Canterbury School will
be stronger than ever just two years hence when we celebrate our 50th anniversary in fall 2014.

Whether in the classroom or on the playing field, the Canterbury experience promotes
leadership and good character.
In Lower School, our youngest students begin their character training as door monitors and line
leaders as they begin learning the value of helping others. At all grade levels, faculty members
guide and teach students to lead, give students opportunities to use these skills, and encourage
students to become responsible citizens who will both lead and serve. Canterbury strives to
develop strong and altruistic individuals who view service to others as a way of life.
n 10,368 – hours Upper School students volunteered in our community. Paula Schenz,
director of volunteer services at Habitat for Humanity, said, “Canterbury School’s Habitat

Athletics – building mind and body
Part of what makes the Canterbury advantage so effective is the school’s intentional development
of the whole person. Although it’s earned a justifiably fine reputation for academics, athletics plays
an important role in the lives of the students, with eight intramural programs for young students,
eight Middle School programs and 17 varsity teams.
“That’s a lot of teams for a school our size,” says Marc Taglieri, Canterbury athletics director.
Close to 70 percent of Middle and Upper school students participate in athletics that help build
character and discipline as well as physical acumen.
“One of the beauties of being an athlete at a small school is that you have an opportunity to be
on a team and you get a fair amount of playing time,” Taglieri says. “The player-to-coach ratio is
outstanding,” allowing players to develop their skills through plenty of one-on-one coaching.
Cheerleaders work tirelessly to
promote spirit on and off the field.
Proof that this strategy works can be seen in the school’s two-year-old six-man football team. The
Canterbury Cougars captured the state championship last year in the Florida Christian Association
of Private or Parochial Schools.
The enthusiasm and dedication of the team has proven infectious.
“They’ve set the tone for the entire athletic department,” Taglieri says.
He believes athletics enhance students’ educations.
“Research shows participation in athletics helps your organizational skills and leads to higher
grades. They have less down time and better time management. They go from the classroom all
day to the practice field to home for dinner and homework. It helps keep them focused and teaches
all those life lessons that you need to succeed.”
That some of the country’s top leaders were athletes is no accident, he believes.
The boys’ golf team advanced to
regional competition.
“I tell the kids that many business leaders, such as former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice (golf),
Senator Bill Bradley (basketball) and entrepreneur George Foreman (boxing), were competitive
athletes,” Taglieri says. “Successful athletes are determined, competitive, focused, disciplined,
patient and do well under pressure – all characteristics of successful business people. Success in
athletics on the field many times leads to success in the board room.”
State Champions!
The varsity football team, in its second year of existence, won the state championship for
six-man football, a feat no other football team in Lee County had attained.

Science – a Portal to Discover
While a broad range of subjects get their due at Canterbury, science is one students embrace
early on.
Even in pre-kindergarten, children learn to think about science independently, using hands-on,
inquiry-based projects. Rather than simply following directions to achieve a pre-determined
result, students are asked to come to their own conclusions.
“Here’s a piece of ice. Let’s make observations,” is how Upper School biology teacher Kelly
Etcheverry describes it. “Then we add a layer of critical thinking progressively every year.”
Every grade level has cutting edge labs and equipment that allow students to apply their intellect
rather than merely memorizing a fixed procedure and outcome. “Students become innovative
thinkers which can only happen if you truly understand a concept,” she says.
In sixth grade, for example, students don’t simply study geology and volcanoes, they learn to
create – and then erupt – their own models of existing volcanoes combining science, art and
history.
A student in AP chemistry made
a serial dilution using a pipette.
The culmination of a seamless, inquiry-based science curriculum can be impressive. For example,
in Etcheverry’s Advanced Placement biology class, 10 of the 16 students received the highest
score possible on the international AP exam.
Inquiry based science also breeds invention. About 10 percent of Middle and Upper School
students participate in independent research, which teaches them to develop, present and
defend their own research.
Canterbury has achieved top honors at local, regional, state, and international science and
engineering fairs. This year Neil Singh and Vaib Penukonda, two seniors, went to the Intel
International competition with their engineering project that introduced an algorithm they
created to calculate wind shear on differently shaped buildings. Seventh-grader Jay Chandar
won Best of Fair, junior division, at the regional science fair.
Research becomes a true passion for the students. “In fact,” Etcheverry said, “over the summer,
I work with many students who just couldn’t wait to begin their research until the school year
commenced.”
A LS student learned about
measurements and weight.
“Our emphasis for years has been to provide a top-notch comprehensive curriculum in science,”
says Carl Melamet, Canterbury’s science department chair. “When students see science as a
portal to discovery, they see the relevance of science to their lives and possible careers.”
Students erupted in cheers and laughter as sixth graders tested their volcanoes.

Professional Development
Provides exceptional learning experiences
Canterbury faculty members create an atmosphere of excitement and intellectual stimulation
in the classroom. To help faculty grow throughout their careers, Canterbury offers professional
development opportunities, which translate to improved student learning.
This summer, nearly $25,000 was awarded to faculty for curriculum enhancements, sabbaticals
and workshops. “The generosity of our donors toward the Annual Fund supplements teacher
professional development in manifold ways. Specific workshops and conferences attended by faculty
throughout the calendar year enable them to stay on the cutting edge of findings and methodology
in their subjects and ahead of the curve in current technology,” says Mary Vollmer, Ellenberg
Librarian and Professional Development Committee chair. “Curriculum grants pay teachers to
create and revise courses and content, ever improving Canterbury’s classroom offerings. Sabbatical
grants allow long-time teachers to renew, refresh, and learn through travel and scholarship. All
of these experiences provide immeasurable enrichment that is returned to the classroom and our
students.”
Two examples of faculty using Professional Development grants are Debbie Hall and Craig Phimister.
Debbie Hall, fourth and fifth grades social sciences teacher, attended Harvard for a two-day course
on Teaching Ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome with Technology. “This exciting class helped me
locate online resources such as interactive timelines. I learned about digital storytelling and created
rubrics to assess multimedia projects. This workshop gave me new strategies for engaging students
with multi-sensory lessons, as well as innovative ideas for student projects. I look forward to
inspiring my students to move collaboratively into the new and ever-changing world of technology
and education.”
Craig Phimister, English department chair and Upper School English teacher, received funds
for two-weeks in England where he visited historical locations. “So much of what I experienced
ties directly to the literature that I teach to my Upper School students: strolling through the
quadrangles of Oxford University, where C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, and countless other authors
studied, taught, worked and wrote; discussing and studying Shakespeare at one of the world’s finest
universities as well as in Stratford-upon-Avon, the Bard’s home town; hiking and cycling across the
mountains, around the tarns, and through the valleys of the William Wordsworth’s Lakes District,
one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen,” Phimister explained.
“These experiences will inform my teaching and help my students better
understand the poems, plays, and stories they read. As a recipient of
sabbatical funding, I can speak to the genuine care that Canterbury School
has for both its students and for those who teach them. We teachers are
truly blessed to work within such a nurturing community.”
- Craig Phimister

The Arts and Great Thinkers
For students at Canterbury, art is a way of life. As early as first grade, children learn to express
themselves in various media, developing confidence and an appreciation of one another’s talents
along the way.
“The goal is to make art fun, to teach students the skills to express themselves in an environment
in which they feel safe and encouraged,” says Namita Singh, who teaches art in the Lower and
Intermediate schools.
Many children feel they are not naturally gifted in art, Singh says, “but it can be taught and I tell
them that. I reach my goal if I help them feel good about their abilities. Creative thinking and
self-expression promote self-esteem and allow children to develop a positive sense of identity and
a joy of learning.”
First graders, for example, learn how to create striking black-and-white bamboo Chinese brush
paintings. In the process, they learn about Chinese culture and a different way to paint. “Art can
be instrumental in promoting tolerance and cultural awareness,” comments Singh.
Children learn about the importance of line, color and space and other elements of art, in every
project they do, Singh says. “By the end of sixth grade, it becomes a part of how they think.”
The Upper School puts on two
performances a year: one musical
and one dramatic. The musical
for 2011-12 was Seussical,
which featured colorful sets and
costumes and near-Broadway
quality vocals.
During their academic careers, students’ art is displayed on the walls throughout the school so that
other students and visitors can enjoy it.
“It boosts their self-esteem and motivates the inner person,” Singh says.
Adding to that self-esteem is the fact that starting in pre-kindergarten, all students perform on
stage at least once a year.
Once they reach Upper School, students with a passion for one or more of the arts may apply for
entry to the Distinguished Artists Program, which encompasses visual arts, acting, dance, musical
theater, technical theater and music. Each student has a mentor who works with and evaluates
him/her.
The goal is to help students achieve great things creatively and academically.
“The majority of the great thinkers were musicians, painters, sculptors, and dramatists, such as
Leonardo daVinci, Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton and Virginia Wolff, who often stumbled upon
ideas while engrossed in their artistic endeavors,” says Cathy Truesdale, art department chair.
All children in grades Pre-K through
six take part in at least one
performance per year.

New Board MEMBERs
Brian Fox
Brian and his wife, Amy (Dosoretz) Fox ’96, became new parents at Canterbury this year when
their older child, four-year old Sophia, entered Pre-K. Their son, Josh, is two years old. Brian
may be new to the Canterbury community, but not new to the world of business. An experienced
entrepreneur and private equity investor, Brian is a founder and current chairman of Millennium
Physician Group, LLC, a Florida-based health care provider. In 2007, Mr. Fox led an investment
group that created Prestige Health Choice LLC, a Medicaid health insurer, where he currently
serves as director and chair of the audit and finance committees.
Brian is also a founder and director of Compliance Meds Technologies LLC, a developer of
medication adherence and monitoring solutions. In 2005, he created National Medical Professional
RRG, Inc., a medical professional liability insurance company, where he serves as president.
Brian Fox
A Cincinnati native, Brian began his financial career as an investment professional in the Private
Equity Group at Goldman Sachs. He received a BSc in systems engineering, cum laude, from
the University of Pennsylvania and an MBA from Harvard Business School. Forward thinking,
articulate and involved, Brian will be a valuable addition to the board.
Li-Su Huang Javedan
Finding an on-campus volunteer position that Li-Su has not filled since becoming a part of our
community in 2006 would present a challenge; and a challenge is one thing Li-Su will never avoid.
With her assistance, our Book Fair was so successful that the Scholastic regional vice-president
visited Canterbury to observe our methods. To reinforce Canterbury’s “green” policy, Li-Su worked
with the PA newsletter team to conceive and create an email-based monthly newsletter to replace
the mailed hard copies.
Li-Su Javedan
Li-Su’s on-campus work ranges from being a grade level parent and library worker to reinstituting
book clubs and helping with the Annual Fund. Her Parents’ Association (PA) duties included
terms as secretary, vice-president, president-elect and as the 2011-2012 PA president. Her list of
involvement continues outside of our school community with numerous educational and church
activities, including the various interests of her children, Emily ’20 and Ethan ’22.
Both a BA degree and master of health science, health finance and management from Johns
Hopkins University provided a strong background for Li-Su’s work career, which was spent mainly
in health care related positions. Steady, reliable, creative and diplomatic, Li-Su will be a welcome
addition to the board of trustees as the Parents’ Association representative.
Nathaniel Swan
Nathaniel Swan
Nathaniel Swan and his wife, Michelle, have been Canterbury parents for the past two years. Their
son, Donovan, is in seventh grade and daughter Bella is in fifth. Professionally, Nate has been in a
variety of roles in information technology sales for 23 years. After receiving his bachelor’s degree
in political science and history from Guilford College, Greensboro, he remained in North Carolina
to begin his career in computer hardware and software business-to-business sales. For the last 15
years he has been with Gartner, Inc., in numerous roles from account executive and client director
to sales management positions across the country.
Nate has led field sales for the western half of the U.S. for Gartner and presently runs the inside
sales channel of 20 managers and 165 account executives for the company in Fort Myers, which
reaches clients both in the U.S. and Canada.
The board of trustees will benefit greatly from Nate’s experience in the field of information
technology.

2011/12 Annual Fund
“Tuition makes us who we are; Annual Giving makes us who we want
to be.” – Council & Support of Education (CASE)
“This year’s Annual Fund was a remarkable accomplishment and
commitment on behalf of our Canterbury community. Some said it was
‘impossible’ – but we knew it was ‘mission possible.’ Please accept my
sincerest appreciation for your commitment and belief in the mission and
vision of this fine school.” – Head of School Tony Paulus
When Lou and I were asked to co-chair Annual Fund, we knew we had to do it because raising
the funds is so important to the operation of the school. We were impressed and excited to see
parents and faculty join together for a common cause. With the hard work of many parents and
by constituents reaching deep into their pockets for this worthwhile endeavor, we surpassed our
goal of $350,000. It was a great team effort, and because we were able to achieve our goals, our
teachers were awarded a much-deserved raise. We look forward to co-chairing again this year and
look forward to meeting new parents and getting together with our great friends.

Presented by
A Party with a Purpose
Extravaganza was much more than a fun evening out with friends and a chance to bid on fabulous
auction items. It was a way for attendees to show their understanding of the importance of helping
Canterbury sustain a diverse and inclusive student population.
“Canterbury continues to be a selective institution, and the committee process combined with
the need-based financial aid process allows us to create classes that are richly varied with regard
to talents, geography, race, religion, school background, and economic ranges,” commented
Director of Admission Julie Peters. “Canterbury has a reputation for selecting the top test takers,
as well as being the kind of institution that sees potential in young people and provides them with
opportunities to change their lives. This year, we awarded more than $1.2 million to approximately
18 percent of our student population. Consequently, our students are prepared to step into the
global economy. Canterbury School still offers that kind of life-altering experience to children who
have appreciation for the privilege of attending the school for four, eight, or 14 years.”
Thanks to event co-chairs Allison Goss and Cathy Lubner and all the dedicated volunteers,
Extravaganza raised more than $100,000 for need-based financial aid.

From the Parents’ Association
Li-Su Javedan
It has been an honor and a privilege to serve as the Parents’ Association (PA) president. The
PA had an eventful year! Beginning with the new parent ambassadors, we continued with
the Square1 Artwork program, Scholastic book fair, carnival, Thanksgiving boxes, the first
faculty/staff appreciation luncheon and a wine social…in second semester, we again hosted
the Marathon, then Extravaganza. We had two off-campus social events (one with a renown
jeweler and the other at a gift shop). We ended the year with a second appreciation luncheon,
second book fair, and the used book sale. Throughout the year, we’ve had the amazing work of
our Corporate Partners program, monthly discussions of the parent (current and alum) book
group, our dedicated Academic Support Committee and our School Store crew. Our PA was
also supported by a great newsletter guru!
As part of our mission, the PA vetted school wish lists, selecting items to be purchased for
classrooms and common areas. The focus was two-fold: bolstering the Arts Department
and beginning to meet technology needs. We distributed funds towards the arts through the
purchase of lighting for the Performing Arts Center (PAC); wireless body microphones and a
wireless monitoring system (PAC); a video camera with memory card; sewing machine kits; a
document reader; and a pull-down screen. PA funds are also being used to purchase technology
in the following ways: 13 iPads with accessories; five AppleTVs; an AVEL document camera; 3
document readers; and a wireless microphone.
All of this is only possible through the commitment and generosity of our community of
volunteers.
I have had the privilege of working with a slate of dedicated PA officers: special thanks to Wendy
Pollack, Kelly Henderson, Lori May, Deena Schwartz and Amy Greene! Thanks for the chance
to have served as PA president, and I urge everyone to continue to support our school - to
support our PA efforts!

iPads in the
Classroom
With the generous support
of the Parents’ Association,
faculty and students will have
the opportunity to use iPads
in the classroom to enhance
learning. Five iPads in each of
the four divisions will be shared
across disciplines and used
in classrooms equipped with
AppleTVs to project images
onto the existing whiteboards.
The increased mobility that
results from using an iPad as
opposed to a fixed PC creates
the opportunity for more
interactive, engaging lessons.
Since there is a wealth of
digitized information available to
educators, students will continue
to experience the benefits of
technological tools that make
concepts come alive. After
all, children today have grown
up in a world that has been
increasingly inter-connected
as the result of technological
advancements.
Imagine a virtual trip to the
Louvre, an exploration of
the ancient ruins in Pompeii,
completing an algebraic
equation on a touchscreen, or
taking a virtual field trip to the
Smithsonian. The possibilities
associated with technology in
the classroom are limitless.
Thanks to the PA for supporting
an initiative to prepare students
for learning and communication
in the 21st century.

to the financial health of Canterbury
School. Endowed funds are invested,

These benefactors have included
Canterbury School in their estate
plans, helping to ensure a strong
future for the school.
Our family owes a great deal to Canterbury. We moved to Fort Myers in
the 80s, and one of my husband Mark’s and my big concerns was if we
could educate our children well in what seemed to be primarily a retirement
community. I didn’t want to resort to sending them away to boarding school
during their critical high school years. It meant almost two decades of driving
our kids back and forth to Canterbury.
It was well worth it as all three of our children went on to top universities
(Brown and Duke) and then on to medical schools. All those years of science
fairs and math competitions paid off. Obviously the education they received at
Canterbury was stellar. I have the dedicated teachers there to thank.
We hold Canterbury dear to our hearts and already foresee the day when we
will have grand kids there, as our now-grown children come back to live in Fort
Myers little by little. We are proud to put such a fine educational institution in
our will.

Help a Student Achieve Greatness
The Canterbury endowment fund can be a vehicle for donors to provide
scholarships for students. At this time, there three are endowed scholarships:
The Joan & Richard Davis Scholarship (established in 1997), The Frank
L. Romano Scholarship (established in 1993) and the Alumni Scholarship
(established in 1996).
For Dr. Nancy (Heape) Ross ’97, receiving the Alumni Scholarship meant
she did not have to secure as many loans for her undergraduate studies at
Mercer College. “Pharmacy school is expensive, especially for a total of six
years. Having the funding from Canterbury certainly helped me focus less on
money and more on studying for my pharmacy doctorate.”
If you would like to set up an endowed scholarship or add to the school’s
existing funds, please contact Canterbury’s Director of Development Deborah
Johnson at (239) 481-4323 or by email: [email protected].

Ways To Give
Canterbury School is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation. As provided by law, your gift may
be tax deductible. Please consult your tax advisor.
GIFTS OF CASH: the majority of gifts made to Canterbury School come in this form. We gladly
accept personal checks, cash or donations made via MasterCard or Visa. You may also make an
online gift to the school. Go to: www.canterburyfortmyers.org/support.
PLEDGES: pledges must be paid in full by June 30 to be honored during that fiscal year. However,
larger gifts are often made over a period of up to five years.
MATCHING GIFTS: you may be able to increase the value of your gift through a matching
gift program at your or your spouse’s place of employment. Complete a matching gift form from
your company’s human resources office and mail it to us with your pledge card or cash donation.

Mission
The Canterbury School
is dedicated to academic
excellence within a
caring and supportive
community, emphasizing
character, leadership
and service.
GIFTS OF SECURITIES: a gift of appreciated securities (stocks, bonds or mutual fund shares)
that you have held for more than one year is a popular way to give. Your transfer of securities
may be made with electronic transfer from a brokerage account to Canterbury School’s account.
For personal assistance in transferring securities, call the Development Office at (239) 333-3294.
GIFTS-IN-KIND: items may be donated to Canterbury School. Our music (musical instruments),
athletic (equipment), library (book collections) and science (equipment) departments have been
enriched by gifts of new or slightly used equipment for student and faculty use.

Because of the unique nature of real estate gifts, you would need to announce your gift intentions
to the Development Office and get the approval of the Gift Acceptance Committee in advance.
GIFTS OF ENDOWMENT: become a partner in education with a gift to endowment.
Canterbury’s endowment is comprised of several funds where a percentage of the growth is used
for a stated purpose, e.g. financial aid and school programs. As the principal accrues, part of the
growth may be expended annually.
THE LEGACY SOCIETY: you may choose to make a gift to Canterbury by designating the
school as a beneficiary in your will. You may specify that an exact dollar amount, a particular
asset, or a portion of your residual estate may be given to Canterbury School outright. Those
informing the school of their planned gifts become recognized members of the Legacy Society
Please contact Director of Development Deborah Johnson, CFRE, at (239) 481-4323, x206 for
information on any of the above.
Your gift to Canterbury School is an important part of The Canterbury Advantage. Please consult
with your tax or legal counsel to make sure you choose the best giving vehicle for your individual
financial situation. It is customary for the school to recognize gifts in a variety of ways. Working
with the Development Office, you can be assured your philanthropic wishes will be honored.
We have made every effort to include those making gifts to Canterbury School between July 1, 2011
and June 30, 2012. Gifts made after June 30, 2012 will be included in next year’s annual report.
