FOCUS is the Fellowship of Christians in Universities and Schools.  It is a diverse community of students, alumni, parents, faculty, clergy, and professionals from a variety of Christian denominations drawn together by a common faith and purpose.  Our purpose is to explore with independent school students a life of faith that is real, adventurous, intellectually sound, and eminently practical.

The Study Center's Beloved Cottage suffers a burst pipe this past January; reconstruction still in progress.

On the morning of January 6^th, 2009 Rick Freer, our Director of Facilites, walked over a slush-covered landscape toward his office in the Green Cottage.  A storm had blanketed 450 Lamberts Cove Road with a heavy snow just days before, so when he heard the sounds of rushing water coming from the Brown cottage adjacent to his office, he assumed it was the snow melt he saw coming from roof and spilling out onto the deck below.  An hour later, the consistency of that rush hadn’t changed, and he opened the door of the brown cottage to find a pipe had failed on the main floor, spilling hot water over his feet and down the hill toward Seth’s pond below.
