Our fundamental concepts include: Small student population (approximately 450 students, Grades 6—12) with a community atmosphere Close, long-term relationships between students and teachers An emphasis on depth of understanding rather than breadth of offerings Rigorous curriculum that emphasizes interconnected learning and skill development organized around essential themes Opportunities for foreign exchange and travel Promotion to more advanced levels tied to performance and mastery Arts emphasized as a full partner in the curriculum An expectation that students will set their own high standards and meet them.

The relationship between a teacher and a student is defined as a formalized interpersonal association between an authority figure and a subordinate who interact on nearly a day to day basis. A cross-case analysis of five individual case studies of elementary grade classroom teachers teaching in a 500 student preschool through fifth grade predominately Caucasian middle-income small town school located approximately an hour from a large Midwestern metropolitan city was used to investigate the following research questions: (a) What

  • A Volunteer's Story Letter Diary of Volunteer Marian Bartol, 1920–21 the Morgan Library & Museum, Gift of John G. Bartol
    A Volunteer’s Story Letter diary of volunteer Marian Bartol, 1920–21 The Morgan Library & Museum, gift of John G. Bartol, 1992 Thirty-year-old Philadelphian Marian Grier Bartol joined the American Committee for Devastated France in 1920 and served a six-month tour, assigned to work alongside French women in the community store in Blérancourt. In nearly four hundred pages of letters home, written in continuous diary form, she cheerfully described the day-by-day experiences of a typical post-war volunteer. She delighted in shopping, sightseeing, and socializing when she arrived in Paris, but adjusted with aplomb to simple life in the volunteers’ barracks. “I am feeling splendidly,” she told her aunt and sister after she had settled in Blérancourt. “The out-of-door life suits me perfectly, and since I have gotten accustomed to the coarse bread, my digestion equals an ostrich.” As she got to know the people of the devastated regions, she wondered if “America should have come into the war sooner, before such terrific sacrifices were required of France.” Bartol came from a prominent Philadelphia family with a home just off Rittenhouse Square, and her voyages to and from Europe were covered in the social pages of the Inquirer. At the time she joined the American Committee, several members of Bartol’s family had already provided wartime service. Her brother Grier, who met her in Paris, served in France with the U.S. Army’s Field Artillery Branch; her brother George joined the Army Signal Corps; her Aunt Kate worked in the Paris office of the American Committee for Devastated France; and Anne Farr, a cousin and fellow volunteer, welcomed Marian in Blérancourt.

This guide has been designed to assist you through this process. Indecision about your career is normal for this time in your life. Some students already have a specific career goal in mind. Other students have only a vague notion of their career goal. Many students will change their minds several times before settling on a final career. During high school, one goal should be to explore the Career Pathways described in this guide and learn whether or not one is interesting enough to be a potential match for you. Although it is not expected that students will know their specific career choice by the time of graduation, they should know which path is appropriate for them. Within this guide you will find a description of each Career Pathway along with related course work and activities for each pathway. Students and parents are encouraged to read through this guide and discuss the options. Counselors and teachers will be eager to help you by making suggestions and recommendations as they apply to the specific pathways. By working together students, parents, teachers, and counselors can help make the high school years a great experience.
