THE PROGRAM beyond the expected


our mission At Springside Chestnut Hill Academy we educate students to be innovative leaders, breakthrough thinkers, and imaginative problem solvers. We challenge students to learn in powerful new ways, engage in active inquiry, hone skills of creative and analytic thinking, and celebrate the joy of discovery. Through a rigorous college-preparatory program enhanced by project- and passion-based learning, we prepare our students for their future as active learners and responsible global citizens. Blending the best of single-sex education and coeducation, we empower and prepare our young men and women to meet challenges with courage, integrity, and respect.


AN INDEPENDENT SCHOOL WITH A BOLD EDUCATIONAL VISION

SCH

Academy’s Pre-K–12 program is driven by a vision of what today’s students need to thrive in college and beyond and supported by nearly 300 combined years of academic leadership in boys’ and girls’ education.

Students who attend SCH Academy experience a robust, state-of-the-art academic program intently focused on preparing them for their future. The SCH experience is not for everyone, but those who are willing to be challenged, work hard, cultivate an independent mind, and exercise their creativity and curiosity will find our curriculum engaging and rewarding.

Through our rigorous college-preparatory curriculum grounded in project- and passion-based learning, our students build resilience and a sense of agency while gaining an unparalleled intellectual foundation for lifelong learning and growth.

At the same time, they will discover a nurturing and stimulating learning environment led by a dedicated, passionate, and highly educated faculty. At SCH Academy, the community created by our students and faculty is authentic and strong. It is a community in which each student’s unique gifts and capabilities are respected and valued and given just the right combination of challenge and support to ensure that they shine.

SCH Academy’s blended learning structure encompasses a single-sex academic experience in grades Pre-K–8 and coed classes in grades 9-12. This unique structure expresses both our belief in the benefits of single-sex academic instruction in the lower and middle grades and our recognition of the value of coeducation in a student’s final preparation for college and beyond.

PREPARATION FOR

I

t is no longer enough for students to be knowledgeable in the traditional liberal arts subjects of the standard college-preparatory curriculum or to be well versed in the analytical and critical thinking skills that independent schools have historically taught. Today’s students need an academic experience that is fully oriented to the broad-ranging

expectations that define the 21st century

while respecting and transmitting the best of the past. This is the education that your child will receive at Springside Chestnut Hill Academy. Inquiry and problem solving characterize all that we do at SCH. Students are encouraged to ask questions, explore, test conceptual boundaries, and devise their own solutions. They are taught not to be afraid to think boldly—and to try again if their first efforts fail, in this way

“Inquiry and problem solving characterize all that we do at SCH.” building the intellectual stamina and confidence that will be so important to their success later in life. Beyond our core academic curriculum, students enjoy a wide array of extracurricular learning opportunities, from building robots and designing 3D prototypes in the Engineering and Robotics Lab to making videos and composing music in the VidCast Studio, and from exploring the world beyond the classroom in our Outdoor and Trip programs to nurturing an idea from concept to reality under the guidance of experienced mentors in our Venture Incubator program. Our Pre-K–12 Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership program has been designed to help students develop those essential practices, attitudes, and skills that will

serve them well in college and the fastchanging global workplace. With the guidance and support of three highly experienced full-time college counselors, our students consistently gain admittance to the nation’s top colleges and universities—but more importantly, to the institutions that are right for them. By the time they complete their academic journey, our students have not only acquired a superior college preparation, they have gained confidence and expertise in areas to which most students are not exposed until college or beyond, giving them a significant advantage in the competitive world that awaits them. We look forward to exploring the role that SCH Academy can play in helping your child step boldly into the future!

CENTERS OF the center for entrepreneurial leadership Throughout the academic day at SCH, students are preparing for their future by building a set of skills and cultivating a mindset that national educational and business leaders have identified as important for college and career success. Taught under the aegis of the Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership (CEL), this specialized learning occurs in project-based activities in Lower School and more focused classes in Middle and Upper Schools. Through the CEL curriculum, students gain expertise in the various tools and methods of communication, an understanding of finance and the free-market economy, proficiency in research and data analysis, an appreciation of the various styles of leadership, and the ability to design, plan, and manage projects. The CEL Venture Incubator, another component of the curriculum, offers interested students an opportunity to experience entrepreneurship firsthand by bringing an idea—either nonprofit or for pofit—from concept to reality under the guidance of professional business mentors.

Through CEL, students develop competency in a range of real-world skills and knowledge areas, from the steps to creating a successful venture and presenting a well-crafted presentation to using 3D modeling software and conducting an effective interview.

resiliency program An SCH Academy education is focused on preparing students for college as well as life beyond by attending to their social-emotional and intellectual development. Building the skills and mental attitudes that enable them to overcome challenges, take intellectual risks, persevere in the face of obstacles, find the positive lessons from failure, and be optimistic and empathetic are essential to a productive, happy, engaged life. The SCH Resiliency Program is grounded in a schoolwide mindfulness, regular discussions in advisories and classes, and special projects that help to cultivate these qualities. Students learn about resiliency in and out of the classroom. Through assignments and projects, on the athletic fields, and in advisory discussions, the benefits of these life-affirming skills are explained and their development encouraged.

DISTINCTION international connections SCH Academy’s commitment to creating global citizens begins with our younger students who participate in collaborative projects, via Skype and other technologies, with students from other countries. By the time they reach Upper School, students are traveling to places as far-flung as the United Arab Emirates, Russia, Baja, Cambodia, and Ethiopia. Exposure to the people, culture, and language of another country is a sure way to build empathy and a more sophisticated appreciation of the cultural, economic, political, and historical factors that influence global issues. School-sponsored trips are aimed at building international partnerships, enriching and extending students’ curricular studies, and providing experiences, such as field research, not available to students on campus. Service is also encouraged as a component of school trips. Travel is one of the best forms of education. The global program at SCH enables students to become truly globally minded, helping them connect with others and gain a clearer sense of their own country.

wissahickon valley park experiences

SCH Academy students enjoy the park in many ways. This past year they went on a bike hike with parents, released trout they had raised in the classroom into the stream, and did scientific studies of the water...right in the school’s backyard.

5

At the edge of the SCH campus is one of the nation’s 600 natural landmarks—Wissahickon Valley Park. SCH students make regular trips down to its creek, along its trails, and through its woods as they develop their sense of environmental stewardship, learn about sustainability, enjoy its natural beauty, and study the challenges facing this native habitat. Being so close to one of Philadelphia’s most treasured natural areas and being able to take advantage of the lessons and resources it offers has become an important and valued component of our academic program.


CENTERS OF the arts & new media SCH Academy has a longstanding tradition of excellence in the arts. SCH students enjoy an impressive array of equipment and spaces in support of every major artistic discipline including ceramics, printmaking, and woodworking studios; multiple concert and performance spaces; art galleries; video production labs; and a digital art room with the latest 3D fabrication equipment. These facilities—and the creative and talented teachers who oversee them—inspire and empower our students to explore both the traditional arts and the newest media for communication and creativity, including animation, video, programming, and gaming. A regular part of the school day, the Arts & New Media program at SCH Academy provides a full array of experiences designed for every student’s level and interest. SCH believes strongly in the public benefits of art and regularly seeks out partnerships with local organizations and artists through which students can share their creativity with the larger community.

outdoor & trip programs Providing students with opportunities to experience their natural surroundings firsthand helps build confidence and independence, offers new perspectives on their classroom studies, and develops a greater appreciation and respect for nature. SCH Academy’s Outdoor and Trip programs build and grow as our students grow. Our younger students spend time exploring the Wissahickon Valley—an amazing resource at the school’s backdoor. They go on hikes where they learn orienteering, search for owls, and do field studies of the creek’s habitat. As they grow older, they travel farther afield, to Ringing Rocks and Hawk Mountain. In Middle School, students practice navigation and galley cooking as they sail the Chesapeake Bay and hone their outdoor camping skills on multiday excursions to the Eastern Shore and Poconos. In Upper School, they participate in a daylong freshman bonding experience designed by Outward Bound and in the other three years have opportunities to go on fiveday excursions. With more than 40 experiences offered between 1st and 12th grades, the SCH Outdoor and Trip programs offer students a variety of natural, historic, and cultural experiences tied to the outdoors. Giving students opportunities to get out of the classroom and learn from “real life” is a major focus of the SCH curriculum.

DISTINCTION engineering & robotics From their earliest years at SCH Academy, students learn to become creative designers and problem solvers through a comprehensive Engineering and Robotics curriculum, grades 1-12. Whether constructing a LEGO castle in Lower School, designing and manufacturing a marketable consumer product in Middle School, or constructing camera-equipped octocoptors and milling parts for human-sized robots in Upper School, SCH students are learning important skills for the 21st century while having a lot of challenging fun. All students, grades 1-12, have a chance to imagine, create, and build as part of SCH Academy’s esteemed Engineering and Robotics program. Upper School students have an opportunity to take up to 3.5 years of engineering coursework during their high school years.

athletics SCH has a rich and successful tradition of athletic excellence. In 2013-2014, 60 student athletes were named to All-Inter-Ac teams, and 89 SCH alumni are currently playing collegiate athletics. The goal of the SCH Athletic Department and its coaches is to provide a “Championship Culture” experience for the entire school community grounded in a commitment to leadership, vision, core values and standards. Also supporting this goal is a state-of-the-art athletic complex that encompasses 2 new multipurpose synthetic playing fields, 7 tennis courts, 2 baseball fields and a softball field, a field house, 3 gymnasiums, 2 fitness centers, 10 squash courts, and an indoor rowing facility with rowing tank and 20 ergometers. A brand new sports pavilion and stadium contribute to the program’s “Championship Culture”and enhance the viewing experience for fans. Sports is integral to the SCH Academy experience. Beginning with physical education in the lower grades and expanding to 18 different sports in the Upper School, there are athletic options to meet almost every interest.

THE LOWER SCHOOLS

lower school for boys Walk into any Lower School for Boys classroom and you will experience the buzz of excitement that signals students happily engaged in active learning. From Day One, our youngest boys are busy discovering the world, learning about themselves and others, and building the foundations that will support lifelong growing and learning. Lower School boys gain a firm foothold in the fundamentals of reading, writing, and math, in addition to learning the strategies and practices of good studentship. Classes are designed with boys in mind and throughout the day they are presented with opportunities to physically engage with their work, whether it’s learning base 10 by counting pumpkin seeds or the laws of physics by building spaghetti towers. Our project-based approach to teaching enables even our youngest students to take a role in their education by allowing them to choose their learning path and draw on their growing portfolio of knowledge and skills to express what they’ve learned in ways that are meaningful to them.

“The Lower School for Boys program at SCH Academy is designed with a boy’s curiosity, boundless energy, and love of challenges in mind.”

Because so much learning in Lower School comes through social interaction, the boys also learn the tools for working effectively with others. Within the framework of the respected social-emotional learning program Responsive Classroom, boys build the important relational skills that go hand in hand with and support their academic learning, such as cooperation, active listening, and respect for each other’s ideas and opinions. By the time they graduate from Lower School, SCH boys have developed into confident students, eager to continue their learning and equipped with the fundamental skills they will need for the more sophisticated academic challenges of Middle School.

lower school for girls When a young girl begins her academic journey at SCH, she finds a safe and supportive environment in which to explore, take creative and intellectual risks, problem solve, and build the foundations that will support a lifelong love of learning. At the core of our teaching is an understanding and celebration of how girls learn best. We honor that which is unique about each student and provide a developmentally rigorous educational experience designed to each girl’s way of pursuing and acquiring knowledge. Project-based learning provides the framework for our students to pursue their own pathways of learning. Whether it’s building an electrical system for their dream house or producing the popular weekly Lower School newscast, projects help girls integrate what they have learned and apply it to new situations. At every turn of the day, active exploration, discovery, and experimentation characterize our students’ approach to learning. Girls’ natural tendency to explore and work collaboratively is reinforced in our social-emotional curriculum through which they learn explicit social strategies for working effectively together and resolving problems. Service learning is another important cornerstone of the Lower School program where girls follow their passions and build understanding and empathy by becoming involved in projects that help improve the local community. At SCH, each girl is valued, stretched, nurtured, and empowered to discover who she is meant to be. We work each day to ignite that spark, our students’ sense of self, as we teach to both their minds and hearts. When Lower School girls move on to Middle School, they are ready to face new challenges and confident in their ability to meet them.

THE MIDDLE SCHOOLS middle school for boys Our Middle School curriculum has been specially designed to engage boys’ boundless energy and explorer spirit while developing those essential intellectual and social building blocks—critical thinking, problem solving, effective communications, self-discipline, and responsibility—that will ensure their readiness for the rigor and independence of Upper School. As students move into Middle School, they learn to become more independent, responsible learners and hone their studentship skills. They begin to manage their own schedules as they move from class to class and find ample opportunities to test and exercise their emerging leadership skills through participation in Middle School student council, boards, and clubs. While this is a time to solidify foundations through their core studies, Middle School is also a time to explore new horizons and discover budding passions. Our weekly activities program offers students a variety of ways and areas in which to test their skills and interests. Robotics, multimedia production, school service, and political debate are just a few of the options available to them. Art and music, as well as sports, are also an important part of the core curriculum, allowing boys to express themselves in a range of ways. Our trip program provides opportunities to extend their learning beyond the classroom, from walking in the footsteps of history at Gettysburg to discussing international affairs with foreign emissaries at the United Nations in New York City. Through this mix of academic and real-world experiences, supported by the guidance and encouragement of our dedicated faculty, the young boys who enter our Middle School leave as confident, resilient, and independent young men, ready to take on the next challenge and manage the responsibilities and expectations of Upper School.

middle school for girls Grounded in the best practices of early adolescent girls’ education, our Middle School program offers a robust, rigorous, and diverse curriculum encompassing both the core liberal arts subjects as well as training in the lifeskills needed for college and career. In addition, a strong arts program, sports, outdoor experiences, and regular opportunities for service round out the Middle School experience for girls. Our Middle School is a busy hub of intellectual inquiry, with learning happening everywhere—from the classroom to laptop clusters in the hallways and from visits to IKEA to study product design to Skype conversations about careers with women software engineers at Microsoft. In this transformational period of students’ development as learners, we emphasize the process as well as the content of learning, knowing that the skills students develop and hone through their search for knowledge are as important as the knowledge attained. Middle School is a time when girls are encouraged to become more independent, take greater responsibility, and begin to understand their preferred pathways to learning. Participation in student council and other clubs and activities provides opportunities to practice emerging leadership and collaboration skills and to find their own unique voice within the community. Through diverse and challenging experiences in and out of the classroom, and with the support and encouragement of a dedicated faculty, Middle School girls develop the confidence, knowledge, and skills that ensure their readiness for the challenges of Upper School.

THE UPPER SCHOOL upper school SCH Academy’s promise of delivering an education that prepares students for college and beyond culminates in our Upper School. The upper grades are all about rigor, self-directed work, expanding horizons, honing skills, and using one’s accumulated knowledge and experience to formulate independent opinions. Led by a deeply committed and progressive faculty, Upper School students gain a thorough grounding in the core liberal arts subjects while enjoying access to an exciting array of electives. Guided by our experienced college counseling staff, students build strong academic resumes that speak to their strengths and earn them entrance into the nation’s top colleges and universities. In their Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership courses and electives, as well as in project-based work within their regular classes, students are challenged to deepen their problem-solving and leadership skills and to exercise the resilience, perseverance, and initiative they have been encouraged to develop during their time at SCH. Upper School is when students step out intellectually and begin to make their own meaning from the content of what they’re learning. Opportunities abound to apply this knowledge in solving real-world problems, whether it’s engineering a device to help adults with cerebral palsy or consulting about the tastes of millennials with McDonald’s. When students are passionate, they’re engaged in optimal learning and at SCH students will find unlimited opportunities to learn through deeper engagement in the things that they love, whether it’s creating a thought-provoking video, crafting a scientific experiment, developing an idea with mentors from the business community, or competing on the athletic field. Through these collective experiences, both in and out of the classroom, SCH students develop the intellectual discipline, skills, and self-confidence that ensure their readiness for whatever challenges they may face, in college and beyond.

STUDENT LEADERSHIP TEAM Leadership of an Upper School student council is one of the most rewarding and prestigious student opportunities at SCH Academy. Comprising the copresidents of the Student, Community, Honor, Service, and Events Councils and the two senior class co-presidents,

BEYOND THE E XPECTED

the members of the Student Leadership Team (SLT) serve as role models, help to shape the school culture, promote Upper School core values, and ensure that the student voice and perspective are at the center of the Upper School community. Each council is led by a male and female senior co-president who must first receive the endorsement of the faculty and then be elected by the entire Upper School community (students and faculty). Council presidents must have a sterling behavior record. The five councils, under the guidance of a faculty advisor, are responsible for organizing large-scale community events and experiences. CLUBS & ACTIVITIES Students have ample opportunity to participate and take leadership roles in extracurricular activities. In addition to the councils, there are an array of activities (ongoing, year to year) and clubs (student created, year by year) to match almost any interest. Among the options this year are the Anime and Technology Club, Art Board, Athletic Association, Book Club, Campus Lantern (newspaper), Cappies, Ceramics Club, Chess Club, Donut Club, Fashion Club, Film Club, FOCUS, French Club, Garden Club, Gay-Straight Alliance, Hacker Club, International Club, Investment Club, Math Club, Meditation Club, Mock Trial, Model UN, Okullu’s Angels, PAC, Performing Arts Board, Philosophy and Ethical Debate Club, Pickup Basketball, Players (drama), Pub (literary magazine), Robotics, SAGES, Eco Club, Spanish Club, Sports Magazine, Student Ambassadors, Student Council, Student Guides, United Cerebral Palsy Association Club, Ultimate Frisbee, Voices, and Yearbook. TRIP OPPORTUNITIES Expanding students’ global awareness and understanding is a major focus of SCH Academy’s curriculum. Each year, Upper School students are offered opportunities to travel as a way to learn firsthand about another culture

and deepen their appreciation of the complexities and opportunities of living in a global world. Each fall, the entire freshman class journeys to Washington, D.C. where students attend seminars on leadership and innovation, participate in crisis simulations, and meet with experts to explore international themes. This three-day trip provides students with an opportunity to explore some of the most pressing questions about the future and to consider their role as leaders in the world of tomorrow. Recent international trips have included journeys to Cambodia, Russia, Ethiopia, and the Baja Peninsula for an ecological study. The first two trips were designed by the students themselves. Schoolsponsored trips are aimed at building international partnerships, enriching and extending students’ curricular studies, and providing experiences, such as field research, not available to students on campus. Service is also encouraged as a component of school trips. Other international trips, organized through the Language Department, provide opportunities for students to practice their developing language skills and deepen their cultural understanding on native soil.
