10 | January 24, 2019 | 22nd century media private school guide 22ndCenturyMedia.com The School of Saints Faith, Hope and Charity A 2014 National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence A school where students grow in heart, mind and soul Make plans to tour the school: January 30, February 20, March 20 & April 3 from 9-11 a.m. RSVP: office@faithhopeschool.org or 847.446.0031 Limited spots remain for 2019-2020 School Year North Shore Country Day focuses on what matters most in education In 1919, North Shore Country Day was the visionary answer to a fundamental question: What matters most when educating a child? Since then, NSCD has continually refined its answer to propel the school’s educational model forward with purpose and passion, building a transformative JK-12 education on four essential pillars: • Purposeful Challenge—Truly knowing each student allows faculty to challenge and support them as people and learners. • Intentional Design—NSCD carefully crafts its entire JK-12 program to optimize learning, develop skills and prioritize wellness. • Courageous Exploration—The school pushes students to participate widely and take risks regularly, ensuring they stretch, explore stumble and grow. • Conscientious Community—The diverse community and collaborative culture help students understand themselves and their obligations to each other, their communities and their world. North Shore Country Day is a place where school is engaging, interesting, rigorous and fun. Teachers know each student and set the bar high in order to build confident, independent thinkers. Students balance passions with responsibilities and learning becomes a way of life. Early Childhood Every moment in NSCD’s junior and senior kindergarten program is an opportunity for joyful learning. These youngest students are known and loved, they’re empowered and encouraged. Asking questions, making choices, listening, participating in discussions, sharing, reading, creating art, making music, speaking Spanish and moving about. Lower School NSCD believes that learning is engaging when it’s meaningful, awakening the senses and opening the mind. Students develop a solid academic foundation, venture into local communities and are encouraged to think globally—not only growing in knowledge but in character. Students learn to speak up and become self-advocates. The goal is to see each child thrive by helping them develop the self-confidence needed to truly blossom in a challenging program. Middle School NSCD Middle School faculty see the world through students’ eyes, and not only understand but truly enjoy adolescents. They also set high standards and demand academic accountability. The school welcomes spontaneous ideas that enhance learning: An experiment becomes a Science Olympiad project, a debate evolves into a Model United Nations presentation and a service learning exercise builds awareness to enlighten others. Upper School The North Shore Country Day Upper School is vibrant, challenging, engaging and intentionally designed for learning. The long-block schedule is just one example. With four 75-minute classes per day, students have time to practice and develop skills, and understand and analyze material on a deeper level. It also provides teachers flexibility to design a range of learning experiences. The goal is to support meaningful academic engagement, inquiry-based and experiential learning, and a more balanced and healthy school experience. Outcomes The true outcome of a North Shore Country Day education is seen in graduates who advance into college and the world fully prepared for whatever comes next. They are exceptionally equipped with the skills and the mindsets to make an impact on their world after years spent exploring, collaborating and embracing the school’s motto, “Live and Serve.” Submitted by North Shore Country Day School, 310 Green Bay Road, Winnetka, (847) 446-0674, nscds.org.

This Open House offers an opportunity to tour the campus, speak with teachers and students, observe classes in session, and meet families from the LFCDS community.

Across all grade levels, each student has access to engaging learning spaces that include expansive Outdoor Classrooms, a 2800-square-foot Innovation Center, a newly renovated gymnasium, and a redesigned Performing Arts Center which opened this fall. An integral part of the LFCDS Experience is the strong public speaking strand embedded in the school’s curriculum beginning with the youngest students. Learning the skills required to be a good audience member in 1st STEP builds to extensive opportunities to present in front of increasingly larger groups and culminates with the Robbie Bermingham Speaking Competition in which students in Grades 5-8 research, write, revise, and present a five-minute speech on a topic of their choice. During the course of their time at LFCDS, students develop their ability to express themselves, take risks in a nurturing environment, and cultivate the self-confidence to present to large audiences. Lake Forest Country Day School fosters an environment in which students feel empowered to dream, try new things, take academic risks, and achieve at their highest level. Highlighted by a 7:1 student to faculty ratio, an LFCDS education sets the stage for a bright future in secondary school and beyond.

Yes, without mom or dad there, it’s up to them! Sure, we are there to guide and support, but they make the decisions, big and small, all day long: What to eat. Where to put their stuff. How to brush their hair. What to sign up for the next day. When to shower. What to say. When to listen. How to get to activities on time. And yes, the bigger stuff – like what to do if you feel a little lonely, how to keep trying at an activity that is hard, or when to support others vs. waiting for your own fan club to show up, or what to say to someone after accidentally hurting their feelings… Submitted by Camp Birchwood for Girls, Northern Minnesota, campbirchwood.com, (800) 451-5270; Camp Birchwood for Boys Boundary Waters in Northern Minnesota, birchwoodforboys.com, (800) 451-5270. back to back winner 2012 2018 NATIONAL BLUE RIBBON SCHOOL SAINT FRANCIS XAVIER SCHOOL innovating and growing with curious learners in preschool through 8th grade JOIN US FOR AN OPEN HOUSE THIS SUNDAY, th JANUARY 27 FROM 10:30AM to 12:30PM tour our NEW building and learn why we're celebrating "new & blue" this year!
