  • JULY 1, 2019 Woodlynde.Org
    WOODLYNDE SCHOOL STRAFFORD, PENNSYLVANIA HEAD OF SCHOOL START DATE: JULY 1, 2019 woodlynde.org Mission Woodlynde School serves students with diverse learning styles and empowers them to become strategic learners and self-advocates in an environment that provides both challenge and support. POSITION OVERVIEW “I was always underestimated until I got here. I have proved everybody wrong!” So stated a senior to the all-school daily assembly one morning in early March. While most schools do a great job in many ways, it is no exaggeration to say that Woodlynde School regularly and invariably changes lives…. the lives of the students who go there and the lives of their families. Coming from a variety of other schools, public and private, these capable students who happen to learn differently, find in Woodlynde School a place where they are accepted, supported, and provided the tools to succeed in college and in life. The educators who work at Woodlynde are a passionate, compassionate, dedicated, and highly skilled lot whose uncommon devotion to their students is rewarded every day by seeing the unmistakable impact of the work they do. Located on a spacious campus in beautiful Strafford, Pennsylvania on Philadelphia’s famous Main Line, Woodlynde enrolls about 275 boys and girls in grades K-12. With a variety of learning differences, these bright students are supported in a college-prep program by trained learning specialists, subject matter experts, and arts and athletics teachers in a 4:1 student-faculty ratio environment. With many consecutive years of balanced budgets, the school is well into a capital campaign to bring much needed additional spaces to the school.

  • 8 A. Introduction and Statement of Goals Radnor Township Has Been
    Radnor Township Comprehensive Plan Update Section 8 – Institutional Use S E C T I O N 8 I N S T I T U T I O N A L U S E A. Introduction and Statement of Goals Radnor Township has been blessed with a large number of public and private educational, religious, health care-related and recreation-related institutions (the latter include the Overbrook Golf Club and Radnor Valley Country Club which technically are recreational facilities; public schools are discussed in the Community Services and Facilities Section below). Because these institutions are such an extremely important part of the Radnor Township community, both directly in terms of their primary functions, as well as secondarily, in terms of the reality of their physical facilities, employment, transportation needs, cultural benefits, impacts on adjacent neighborhoods, and so forth, a separate Institutional Use section has been developed for this Comprehensive Plan Update. 1. Goals and Objectives Goals for Institutional Use were discussed and identified early on in the planning process; they appear below. These goals reflect the focus group discussions (separate focus groups were held for Major Institutions and Minor Institutions, given the very substantial differences which were felt to exist between a Villanova University versus a St. Edmonds Home for Children). In some cases, these institutional goals are more specific than the general goals developed for other Sections of the Draft Comprehensive Plan and can be understood to be a blend of both Goals and more specific Objectives, although formatted somewhat differently than those appearing in the other Sections of this Draft Comprehensive Plan.
