2019-2020 Admissions Catalog Great Kids Becoming Foxes 2019-2020 Admissions Catalog Great Kids Becoming Foxes 110 E. Main St. Moorestown, NJ 08057 www.mfriends.org Greetings, Thank you for considering Moorestown Friends School. Whether you are a student, parent, or family member, we appreciate you taking the time to learn more about our school. At MFS, what we believe profoundly shapes how we teach and learn. Because we value the inherent dignity of every person, our students learn to see the Inner Light in people of all beliefs, backgrounds, talents, and personalities. And because we believe our classrooms should be both challenging and compassionate spaces, our students try more earnestly, persevere in the face of difficulty, go deeper, engage with others, and learn more. This catalog provides a basic outline of the curriculum and experiences in all three divisions: Lower, Middle, and Upper School. You can find more detailed academic information online at www.mfriends.org. This publication also includes a list of faculty and staff, along with an impressive list of colleges and universities that our graduates currently attend. I encourage you to visit the MFS campus sometime soon to get a better sense of our tight-knit school community. Whether it is at an Open House, a campus tour, or a special event, I hope to meet you and your family very soon. Warmly, Julia de la Torre Head of School Table of Contents Lower School Curriculum 2 Middle School Curriculum 2 Upper School Curriculum 6 Extracurricular & Summer Programming 10 Diversity 13 Admissions 13 Tuition and Financial Aid 13 College Counseling 14 Faculty and Staff 17 Mission Statement Moorestown Friends School is a community rooted in Quaker values and dedicated to the pursuit of educational excellence for a diverse student body within an academically rigorous and balanced program emphasizing personal, ethical and spiritual growth. 1 Beginnings and Lower School Curriculum The curriculum for Preschool through Grade 4 addresses the following areas: Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, Science, Art, Coding, Library, Music, Physical Education, Technology, and Spiritual and Ethical Development. Computers are used in all classrooms, as well as in a Lower School computer lab with formal key boarding beginning in Grade 2. A Coding program, which was introduced in 2015-16, provides students with valuable computational thinking, problem solving, and teamwork skills. Moorestown Friends School’s twin pillars of academic rigor and spiritual and ethical development come to life each day for our Preschool (age 3) through Grade 4 students. In small classes, students participate in an integrated program of reading, writing, language arts, mathematics, social studies, and science organized around diverse themes and student-initiated investigations. Learning is hands-on; subjects come alive as students read, write, ask questions, interview experts, conduct experiments, take field trips, and share their learning. Students are taught to think critically: to gather complete information, be precise, develop a plan when solving a problem, and shift strategies when needed. Engagement in visual arts, music, physical education, computers, library use, and coding complement the traditional academic program. The Quaker testimonies of simplicity, peace, integrity, community, equality, and stewardship are an integral part of every grade and every classroom. Teachers support students in the use of peaceful conflict resolution and peer mediation. Service learning projects take place throughout the year, initiated by both the school and individual students. 2 Middle School Curriculum The Middle School curriculum at Moorestown Friends School is designed to meet the needs of students progressing through important personal stages of social, academic, physical, and intellectual development. Faculty and staff strive to create an environment where students are enthusiastic about their work at school while developing skills that will serve them in the Middle School and beyond. During this period of self-discovery, students are presented with a range of opportunities for learning about themselves and the world in which they live. Middle School is a time to learn and to enjoy the process of learning. Major Courses English Students develop interpretive and critical reading skills; use figurative language and literary devices; explore theme, plot, setting, conflict, mood, and character analysis; and are encouraged to discover connections between the written word, society, and their own lives. Students work with a variety of literature and genres, including science fiction, classic fiction, plays, poetry, and short stories. Grammar, vocabulary, discussion, and oral presentation skills are a focus throughout Middle School. History Students develop skills in active reading of primary and secondary sources, research techniques, including note-taking and proper citations, essay and research writing, and oral presentations. Students learn to evaluate multiple historical sources, develop critical and higher-order thinking skills, and generate original conclusions supported by evidence after exploring multiple perspectives. Class discussions, individual and group presentations, and group projects are integral components of Middle School history courses. Students in Grade 5 are exposed to an introduction to civilization and the ancient world, continue with the middle ages and world religions in Grade 6, explore a range of global issues in Grade 7’s Quest program (see additional details below), and discover the history of and their role in our country and its governance in a Grade 8 course focused on contemporary and historical civic leadership. 3 Math Grade 5: Topics include number and operation sense, graphing and displaying data, operations with fractions and decimals, and foundational skills in algebra and geometry. Grade 6: Topics include operations with positive and negative integers, fractions, and decimals; ratios, proportions, and percents; one- and two-step equations; coordinate plane graphing; geometry with composite shapes; and problem solving with multi-step word problems. Grade 7: Introductory Algebra (Honors option) Grade 8: Algebra I (Honors option) Science Grade 5: Physical Science (food chemistry, floating and sinking, electric circuits, and motion and design) Grade 6: Earth Science (plate tectonics and planetary systems) Grade 7: Physical Science (matter, mixtures, compounds and elements, and forces and motion) Grade 8: First half of a two-year sequence in Biology In Middle School science courses, students acquire knowledge through hands-on learning, team-based collaborative work, the engineering and design process, manipulation of models, computer simulations, map reading, outdoor investigations, class discussions, and reading. World Languages Students are offered sequences in French, Spanish, and Chinese. Following an introduction to all three languages in Grade 6, students choose a language in Grade 7 to continue through at least the third- year level in Upper School. Teachers use the “communicative” approach, shifting emphasis from verb conjugations and grammar to instead encouraging students to begin speaking the language as soon as possible in an immersion setting. 4 Grade 7 Quest A multi-disciplinary, inquiry-based approach to learning, Quest encompasses Grade 7 English, Social Studies, and Science. Teachers work side by side modeling effective collaboration, while guiding students in their development of essential skills for 21st Century Learning. In place of traditional grades, this program emphasizes the power of qualitative feedback between students, teachers, and their families. Quest balances traditional skills, such as writing, geographic literacy, grammar, and vocabulary, with opportunities for student-led inquiry projects. Students participate in literature circles and explore topics related to physical science and engineering. Throughout the year, students collaborate on integrated projects between humanities and science. Additional Courses Advisory: Each Middle School student is placed in a small advisory group with a grade-level advisor. Topics discussed in Advisory include social- emotional wellbeing (media, social media, relationships with peers and adults, mental health, and self-advocacy), community values, identity and diversity, and study skills. Grade 5 Genius Hour: This innovative course is inspired, in part, by Google’s 20% movement. Genius Hour meets once per cycle to allow students a choice in what they learn. Students are challenged to explore a passion and are given time to research the topic. Throughout the process the teacher encourages creativity and facilitates to ensure students are on task and research is progressing. Students utilize the “design process” throughout by checking in with peers in order to give and receive feedback. The course culminates with a Genius Hour Expo showcasing what students have learned in unique and creative ways. The goal of Genius Hour is to create a love for learning, encourage students to further develop their passions and perhaps even unlock a potential career path or area of future study. Performing Arts: Students in Grades 5-8 have the opportunity to perform with one of our choral, instrumental, or string ensemble groups. Additionally, all students in Grades 5 and 8 are enrolled in theater courses and all students in Grade 5-7 are enrolled in general music courses. 5 Physical Education and Health: Each year all Middle School students participate in year-long P.E. classes and are

  • Because Hamilton Remembers
    Because Hamilton Remembers July 2020 1 Joel Bristol Associate PUBLISHED EACH SUMMER, Because Hamilton Remembers includes memorials of alumni who have died since the previous edition and whose biographies were completed as of this printing. For a regularly updated and searchable database of all alumni memorial biographies published since 2008, please visit hamilton.edu/necrology. The College honors those who have included Hamilton in an estate plan provision with membership in the Joel Bristol Associates. Throughout this book, these individuals are recognized with a quill accompanying their memorial biography. Please contact Ben Madonia ’74 at 315-859-4669 or [email protected] if you have included Hamilton in your estate plan or would like to know more about gift planning opportunities. hamilton.edu/necrology 2 N 1893, EDWARD NORTH, CLASS OF 1841 — Hamilton’s beloved and Idistinguished professor of Greek language and literature — told a gathering of alumni, “In necrology we get our horoscope of the future.” By that time, he was a quarter-century into his self-appointed role as composer of memorial biographies that paid tribute to deceased members of the Association of Hamilton Alumni. It is said that his pen never slept. North’s sketches of the “lives and services” of Hamilton’s stelligerents — a word he originated, meaning “star-bearers” — betrayed an intimacy of association between teacher and student that has defined the Hamilton experience since the College’s founding. Hamilton’s personality is many-hued, a bold composite of the students who have given life to the College for more than 200 years. In presenting these memorial biographies, we recount the lives of yesterday so that we may open a window onto the wondrous possibilities of Hamilton tomorrow.

INSTITUTION Academy for Educational Development, Inc., Washington, D. C. Management Div. PUB DATE Nov 73 NOTE 114p. AVAILABLE FROM Management Division, Academy for Educational Development, Inc., 1424 Sixteenth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20036 (free) EDRS PRICE MF-$0.65 HC-$6.58 DESCRIPTORS *Colleges; *Community Colleges; Directories; Geographic Distribution; *Higher Education; *Institutions; Law Schools; Medical Schools; Taxonomy; *Universities ABSTRACT This document presents a classification of the campus resources of higher education institutions in the United States. After the foreword, the institutions are divided into 5 categories: doctoral-granting universities; comprehensive colleges and universities; general baccalaureate colleges; 2-year colleges, and separate specialized professional schools. The doctoral-granting universities are divided into 3 groups, depending on number of Ph.D. awards granted and amount of federal government support for academic research. The comprehensive colleges and universities are institutions that may have doctoral programs and that offer master's degrees, and have an enrollment of more than 3,500 students. General baccalaureate colleges may award master's degrees and have enrollments under 3,500. Two-year colleges include community colleges, technical institutes, university and college branches, and other campuses offering less than a baccalaureate program. Separate specialized professional schools include Bible colleges and religious seminaries, medical schools, schools of engineering and technology, schools of business, schools of music, art, and design, schools of law and teachers colleges and all others.
