  • Ed.Council.Grad.Middleschool.Letter
    St. Vincent Martyr School Middle School Academic Achievement During their tenure here at SVMS, students strive toward ever increasing academic challenges. SVMS middle school faculty work diligently to encourage students to study with greater focus and prepare more thoroughly for classes. Teachers share perspectives that enable students to think differently and more deeply about matters great and small. Recognizing the uniqueness and individuality of children, teachers guide them to discover and develop their God-given gifts. SVMS’s fundamental task is, and has always been, to educate the whole person by integrating Christian values with learning in daily life. On behalf of the Education Council, we are proud to share the following information about some recent academic successes of our middle school program. Academic Competitions In 2016, SVMS middle school grades participated in the NJ Math League for the second year in a row and placed well in regional standings against many other Morris County middle schools1. Here is a summary of the results by grade: • 6th grade - SVMS student achieved the highest individual score in Morris County • 7th grade - SVMS team ranked #4 in Morris County • 8th grade - SVMS team ranked #4 in Morris County. In 2015 and 2016, SVMS also participated in a national engineering competition called Future City, which is a program of DiscoverE. In January of 2015, SVMS sent one team to the New Jersey regional competition held in Rutgers, and they performed well. Our competing students enjoyed the experience so much that the SVMS program grew, and we were able to send two teams to the 2016 New Jersey regionals.

  • The Peck School
    THE PECK SCHOOL MORRISTOWN, NEW JERSEY HEAD OF THE UPPER SCHOOL (GRADES 5-8) START DATE: JULY 2019 WWW.PECKSCHOOL.ORG Mission Statement We believe that, in life, knowledge must be guided by values. Through a commitment to character formation and a rigorous and inspirational academic program, The Peck School strives to build in each student the capacity for disciplined learning and consideration of others. With dedicated faculty and families, we prepare our students to succeed in secondary school and to lead healthy, productive, and principled lives. OVERVIEW One of the nation’s finest independent, K-8 coeducational day schools, The Peck School provides the perfect learning environment for children to thrive. Peck melds a proven curriculum with modern methods—and students discover the pure delight of creative thinking and active learning by honoring timeless traditions and supporting timely transformation. Peck’s dedicated K-8 educational model allows for growth, for exploration, for risk-taking, and for failure throughout students’ critical elementary and middle school formative years. It allows for a nurturing environment where children feel challenged, and will challenge themselves, all within a belief that learning is best when it is a joyful process. Children at Peck will know and will be known as they develop into confident learners and leaders as they move through the Peck experience.
