A day in the life looks different for each Cardigan boy; their experiences and their ways of navigating through every day are as diverse as the cultures and backgrounds they represent. This extended photo essay attempts to document some of this diversity, as well as the strong and engaging forces that unify the boys—and the adults.
Cardigan Chronicle
Published twice each year, this is the School’s signature print publication that provides feature articles and alumni class notes, updates on academic programs and campus projects, photographs from events that happen throughout the year, and much more.
In October we set out to document a day in the life of Cardigan Mountain School, curious to see what through-lines would appear and what themes would bubble to the surface. The plan was simple. Put cameras in the hands of faculty, staff, and students and ask them to document their lives. The day was Friday, October 8, and over 2,800 photos recorded the perspectives of over a dozen individuals.
Winter 2022 Feature
A Day in the Life of Cardigan Mountain School
A day at Cardigan begins with a weather report, delivered in person by the forces of nature—through one’s own eyes, skin, and senses—as one heads to the Cardigan Commons for breakfast.
FROM THE EDITOR: When I began to brainstorm different themes for this issue of the Chronicle in August, everyone was looking forward with anticipation to the boys’ return to campus and to the start of what we hoped would be a routine school year.
