Announcing the Creation of the Kurt Sinclair Endowment

Few teachers in the history of St. Andrew’s can match the reach and impact of Kurt Sinclair. The legendary science teacher has inspired countless alumni through his patient and supportive approach to teaching physics. 
We are thrilled to announce the creation of the Kurt Sinclair Endowment thanks to the Horowitz (’12, ’15) and Ryan (’22, ’23) Families. This new fund will support faculty compensation and growth at St. Andrew’s.

Sarah Horowitz ’15 believes Mr. Sinclair helped give her the “fresh start” Assistant Head of School John Holden always mentioned during his opening day remarks. “Mr. Sinclair made complex subjects like motion, energy, and electricity come alive through real-world examples, including the use of golf balls, student-built roller coasters, boats, and more!  Mr. Sinclair challenged me, encouraged me to trust my instincts, and fostered a sense of confidence in my ability to understand complex and difficult concepts. He taught me to examine the unknown through multiple lenses, making even the most daunting challenges approachable and achievable. Mr. Sinclair patiently supported me when I struggled and celebrated with me when I mastered a challenging concept.  In his quiet unassuming way, Mr. Sinclair became a steady and supportive force, helping me believe in myself and my abilities. I'm so grateful for the teachers at St. Andrew's like Mr. Sinclair who have had such a profound impact on my life in so many ways.”­
