Why we are called Tessera
A token of trust, kept for good.
A tessera is a single tile in a mosaic: one small, cut, whole piece that keeps its own color and its own edge while joining a larger picture. Each school we care for stays a distinct tile, with its own name and its own community. Together they make a picture no single tile could be alone.
There is an older meaning, and it is the one that matters most. In the Roman world a tessera hospitalis was a small token, often a tile broken in two, that a host and a guest each kept as a permanent pledge of trust between their families. It was honored across generations, long after the two people who broke it were gone. That is exactly what we offer a founder handing over a school: a token of trust, kept for good.
