Dr Frank Bartolomeo to
Head The Spire School

The Spire School at Greenwich Education and Prep is pleased to announce Dr. Frank Bartolomeo, PhD has been named Executive Director. Dr. Bartolomeo has over 20 years experience working with adolescents in the mental health field and has worked in residential treatment centers, schools, outpatient clinics and hospitals in the Boston area. His areas of specialization include: child and adolescent therapy, group and organizational psychology, and group psychotherapy.

The Spire School is a private day school in Stamford, CT that combines a rigorous college prep program with an overall emphasis on wellness of mind and body. The students who attend The Spire School are intellectually capable yet need direction and support, due to unsuccessful academic experiences and their self defeating beliefs about their capabilities.

Through an individualized academic program, students develop the skills needed to extend this self-examination to their physical, social, and emotional well-being. With an emphasis on exercise, nutrition, and proper self-care, we help our students regulate their emotions and develop interpersonal skills such as effective communication, good listening, empathy, and conflict resolution.

The approach at Spire is to create a team of community-based allies, particularly parents, who work in concert to support and encourage the students. Staff works in collaboration with those people who play significant roles in the students' lives, including family members, outside professionals, or clergy. This is central to the Spire approach because these relationships weave strong social support networks that sustain and enrich the students.
