2015-School-Directory-FINAL.Pdf 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 Would you prefer that your child attends a big school or a small school? There are pros and cons to both. o What are your child’s specific interests that you would like to see developed and addressed at their school? o What is your child’s learning style? o Are modern school facilities important to you? o Is student diversity important to you? Listed below are six other core areas to consider when choosing a school: 1. 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? 2. 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? 3. 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? 4. Location – How long does it take to get there? Is transportation accessible? Is there a cost for transportation? 5. 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? 6. 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.

  • History of the Armenian Sisters Academy the Armenian Sisters
    History of the Armenian Sisters Academy The Armenian Sisters Academy of Radnor, PA is one of three Armenian day schools in the United States directed and managed by the Armenian Sisters Academy of the Immaculate Conception; in Radnor, Boston and Los Angeles. In the early 60’s, Armenians from the Middle East came to the United States because of either civil war or turmoil in their own countries. Therefore, the Armenian Sisters followed their people and built their schools to educate the new generation of these immigrants. Founded specifically for the teaching apostolate, the Armenian Sisters have never abandoned their original commitment. At the request of Monsignor Stephen Stepanian, Pastor of St. Mark’s Armenian Catholic Church of Philadelphia, in 1963 the Sisters came to establish an Armenian day school. The greater Philadelphia community were delighted to have an Armenian school where the rich Armenian culture and language could be preserved and passed on from generation to generation…where children could be taught love of their heritage as well as a love of learning…where the “whole” child could be educated in a loving and caring environment…where the highest possible educational standards would prevail and where Christian values and the faith of our forbearers could be taught. The dedication and professionalism of the Sisters was becoming widely recognized in the Armenian community. The dream of providing area youngsters with a quality education while helping to perpetuate the Armenian language and culture became a reality. In May of 1975, cornerstones for a new school building were blessed by clergy of the area’s five Armenian churches, and in the incredibly short time of five months construction was completed.
