Headmaster's Message
Things are shaping up nicely with our partner ministries in Philadelphia (Rock Ministries, Manna, and Community Chapel). For people ministries, our students are going to be working with the youth at the Rock, children at the Church, and homeless at Manna. For hands ministries, our students will be working construction at the Rock, and working in a community garden at the Church. Items to do:
1. Application forms and deposit are due this week
2. Solidify prayer sponsors
3. Get out sponsor letters to family, friends, churches, etc
4. Set aside Saturday April 10 for the work-a-thon
Our Spring Open House is around the corner - Saturday, March 20 from 10-4. As we have tried to impress upon our families in the recent years, there is only one guaranteed method of marketing and recruitment: word-of-mouth invitations from family to family. We urge our families to be about this critical business for the success of our school.

Generally, most colleges are looking for you to have taken:3-4 yrs of Math (including Algebra 1); 4 yrs of English (Humanities counts); 2-4 years of History/Social Studies; 3-4 yrs of Science (must have 2-3 Lab Sciences), and 2-3 yrs of foreign language (please note! Each college will have their own specific requirements; be sure to check on the schools you like) They also want to see you've taken an interesting array of electives and been involved in a club, sport or other extracurricular activities. Taking on leadership responsibilities are always impressive and time spent volunteering in the community is also valued.
