2015 School Directory - Children`s Scholarship Fund Philadelphia

Transcription

This booklet is designed to be used as a
guide only. A listing in this guide does not
guarantee a school’s eligibility for CSFP
funding. The school descriptions
contained in this directory were submitted
by participating schools. CSFP is not
responsible for the content of the
descriptions.
Introduction
Choosing the right school for your child is a very important decision that should not be entered
into lightly. This School Directory was designed to help you begin the process of finding a
school that is the right match for your child. Picking up this guide is a great first step, but there
is a lot more work to be done.
You should start researching potential schools for your child now. Many schools have
deadlines, and others fill to their capacity before the school year begins. The longer you wait,
the fewer options you will have. Please keep in mind that CSFP has new eligibility requirements
that schools must meet before they are able to receive scholarship funding from CSFP. Please
call our office if you are not sure that a school is eligible.
Before you begin any official research, sit down and think about what is important to you.
Here are some preliminary questions that you may want to ask yourself before doing any
investigating.
o
o
o
o
o
Would you prefer that your child attends a big school or a small school?
There are pros and cons to both.
What are your child’s specific interests that you would like to see
developed and addressed at their school?
What is your child’s learning style?
Are modern school facilities important to you?
Is student diversity important to you?
Listed below are six other core areas to consider when choosing a school:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Academics – What is the school’s educational philosophy? Are the classes too
advanced/not advanced enough/appropriately advanced for my child? Will my
child have a lot of “catching up” to do to succeed in this school?
Values – Is the school associated with a church, denomination or religion? If yes, is
the religious aspect emphasized or is it more of an historical association? Are these
religious aspects in line with my personal beliefs?
Discipline – What type of behavior and safety rules are in existence at this school?
Does the school communicate with parents regularly about progress and/or
problems?
Location – How long does it take to get there? Is transportation accessible? Is
there a cost for transportation?
Price – Does the school offer its own financial aid? What fees are there in addition
to tuition? What types of payment plans are available? What are the implications
if I fall behind in my tuition payments? Does the school have a refund policy if I
decide that this school is not the right one for my child?
Special Features – Are there special programs for gifted or learning disabled
students (if appropriate)? Is tutoring available should my child fall behind? Is there
before and after school care? Is there an active parents’ association? Are
extracurricular activities offered at this school? Are they ones that your child has an
interest in?
Once you have considered all of the topics listed above, make a list of schools that meet your
criteria and arrange to visit each of them. Include your child in the process as much as
possible. Be sure to visit schools before making a final decision; a school may look very
different in person than it appears on paper. Use the resources around you; ask family, friends
1
and neighbors for information or feedback to help with your decision. The internet is also an
extremely valuable tool to get information. Internet access is available at your local library if
you do not have a computer at home. Three websites that can provide helpful information
are:
www.greatphillyschools.org
www.greatschools.net
and
www.nces.ed.gov
Finally, please feel free to contact the CSFP office if you have other questions. We are happy
to help in any way that we can. Good luck!
*Important Notice*
Please keep in mind that as of September 2013,
schools must meet certain criteria in order to
receive funding from CSFP.

The Miquon School is an independent, parent-owned elementary school
located in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania. It was founded by parents in 1932,
following the progressive philosophy of John Dewey. Set in a small valley,
the 10-acre campus offers woods, fields, and a stream; the natural
environment is an essential part of the children’s experience and is often
the subject of a lesson or extended project. Classrooms are located in many
small buildings that are scattered around the entire campus. By design,
every room opens to the outside; there are no hallways.

We know that going through this process and choosing a school can be
difficult. So we asked administrators and admissions professionals at our
participating schools to weigh in with advice and suggestions for families
looking at private schools for the first time. Read their suggestions below.
It is very important to follow your heart and your instincts. Sometimes you just get a
sense of the atmosphere of the school before you look at one piece of paperwork!
-Calvary Christian Academy
Expect the school to know,
respect, challenge and
understand your child well
and hold him/her accountable
to the highest standards of
academics and citizenship. Be
prepared to participate fully
and be a full partner in your
child's education and with the
school community. Be
prepared to sacrifice
financially--you are not alone!
-Springside School
We believe that it is important to not only tour
the school, but also to meet with the
administrators to talk about the goals and
mission of the school. Parents should feel
empowered to determine whether the school
can provide the best learning environment to
match their child’s unique learning style.
- Our Lady of Hope Regional Catholic School
Look not for the most offerings, but
the best offerings. The schools being
considered must be able to prove the
high quality of their programs and
instructors. -Our Lady of Port
Richmond
Private schools expect
parents to be directly
involved with all aspects
of their children’s
education. While we may
provide more
opportunities than public
schools, we are a not a
replacement for the
parent’s role.
-Chestnut Hill Academy
Visit the
school
and ask
questions.
Don't let
finances
be
the
determini
ng factor.
-Hunting
Park
Christian
Academy
Look for a school
that meets your
family’s
expectations as well
as the needs of your
child. -The Pen Ryn
Visit schools, talk to teachers,
administrators, and current
parents; see students in
action. Get a sense of
whether or not the school
will be a good match for your
child and for your family.
-Lansdowne Friends School
Many schools in the Delaware
Valley area have similar
successful outcomes, but
each has a unique approach
to achieving those outcomes.
Try to determine which
schools best match your
student and your family.
-Friends Central School
A school’s success is based upon the students it
produces! Visit and get to know the children making up
the school’s community.
