  • California Association of Independent Schools Statement on Gun

    XXXXX SFChronicle.com | Sunday, March 11, 2018 | A9 CaliforniaAssociation of IndependentSchools Statement on Gun Violence and School Safety As the Board of Directors of the California Association of Independent Schools, we join our Executive Director and the undersigned colleagues from our member schools —aswell as other independent, religious, and proprietaryschools throughout California —inanguish over the February14school shooting in Parkland, Florida. We extend our deepest sympathy to the families of the victims of this and everyschool shooting, and we stand in unwavering support of the survivors. We also stand in full solidarity with concerned educators nationwide. Today,school shootings are appallinglyroutine. Innocent lives of flourishingyoung people have been cut short, and students of everyage in countless communities are afraidtogotoschool. These students are our futureleaders. They and others, with amyriad of different perspectives, are also eager to change this paradigm by navigating our democratic processes, by engaging in respectful civic discourse, and by acting as catalysts for needed change, which we heartily applaud. We need to listen to their voices and respond to their pleas to make schools safe. As educators and as citizens, we are proud Republicans, Democrats, and Independents who believethatour countryneed notchoose between the rightful protection of responsiblegun ownership and the necessaryprevention of gun violence. We believe thatthe epidemic of gun violence in schools is an issue of non-partisan urgency, one thatdemands ahigher duty of care. We recall with admiration the ability to rise above partisanship on this issue displayed by two former Presidents, DemocratJimmy Carter and Republican Ronald Reagan, both of whom owned guns. In 1994, they worked together to help reduce the number of dangerous weapons available to private citizens.

  • Dear Applicant Families

    Dear Applicant Families

    Dear Applicant Families, As independent schools, we are varied in our educational philosophies and programs but united in our commitment to ethical practices in our admission offices. The Heads of the undersigned Los Angeles schools have agreed to the following principles of good practice for K – 12 admissions: In order to minimize timing dilemmas for applicant families, we have agreed to these common notification and reply dates for fall 2017 admission: Grades 9-12: Notification letters will be sent on Friday, March 10, 2017 Email notifications can be sent at 5pm on Friday, March 10, 2017 Replies will be due on Tuesday, March 21, 2017 Grades K-8: Notification can be sent on Friday, March 17, 2017 Email notifications can be sent starting at 5pm on Friday, March 17, 2017 Replies will be due on Monday, March 27, 2017 Once notifications have been sent, schools will not initiate visits, whether for individuals or groups (e.g., through open houses). We are mindful of the disruption to students’ education in their current schools that additional visits to prospective schools can cause, so we do not encourage such visits. However, schools that receive requests for newly admitted students and/or parents may grant those requests at their discretion. No applicant or applicant family will be contacted by any representative of the school – once admissions notification begins. Of course, admitted students and their parents are welcome to contact schools to have questions answered. We share an interest in making the independent school application experience as informative and enjoyable as possible. And we are joined in our conviction that the independent school world can offer unique and rich educational opportunities for young people.

VISION AND INSTRUCTIONAL PHILOSOPHY 1. What is your school’s vision for the youth who will matriculate from your school? The vision for the San Fernando Digital Arts Academy (SFDAA) and the San Fernando Biotech Health Academy (SFBHA) is to prepare students for academic success in high school, post-secondary education and professional careers, encourage students to be responsible and active participants in the community, and enable students to become life-long learners. Emphasis will be placed on student achievement and positive postsecondary outcomes by challenging students to develop problem-solving and interpersonal skills and linking rigorous college preparatory curriculum with technical coursework at two small schools that focus on different industry sectors: health-medical and media-arts. SFDAA and SFBHA will work to close the achievement gap by providing clear and high expectations for all students, a personalized and supportive learning environment, family-school-community and state-school-private sector partnerships, blended learning, and linked learning. Students learn best when they are challenged by clear and high expectations and supported by a caring community.
