24 | august 8, 2019 | 22nd century media private school Guide 22ndCenturyMedia.com Ronald Knox Montessori School: A 55-year tradition of excellence Why choose a Montessori School for your child? Research has shown that the best predictor of future success is confidence along with a positive sense of self. Beginning your child’s education at a Montessori school during their most formative, impressionable years can set them firmly on that path. Fundamental to the Montessori approach is that children become independent by developing their sense of order, coordination, and concentration. As a result, they develop positive character qualities, self-discipline, and the ability to “think out of the box.” Why choose Ronald Knox Montessori School? In dedicating ourselves wholly to Maria Montessori’s philosophy, we adhere to the highest standards of Montessori education. Ronald Knox Montessori School is fully accredited, meeting or exceeding standards set forth by the American Montessori Society (AMS). We have over 55 years of educating and instilling the love of learning in children on the North Shore — many of our “graduates” are now sending their own children to Ronald Knox! Ronald Knox Montessori School offers children a warm, welcoming environment, where they are encouraged to explore a world of activities in mixed age classrooms, supervised by nurturing teachers and their assistants. Our teachers are highly qualified, with credentials from AMS certified training centers. Our beautiful classroom environments are designed, built, and maintained for the children, following Montessori philosophy. “The child, making use of all that he finds around him, shapes himself for the future,” Maria Montessori said. The children in all of our programs are guided by their teachers as they make discoveries and learn in a natural, intuitive, handson manner. Children develop skills they will use both inside and outside the classroom, such as creative problem solving, grace and courtesy, respect for themselves, others, and the world around them. Ronald Knox children are more than prepared to enter elementary schools upon “graduating.” Our teachers respect all children as unique individuals. They understand that children develop and learn at their own pace. They strive to instill a life-long love of learning in all of the children, setting them on a path to reach their highest potential. Our strong, involved, and supportive community of parents, faculty and administrators are dedicated to ensuring that Ronald Knox continues to maintain its level of excellence. Ronald Knox Montessori School offers the following programs: Parent/Child (6-23 months of age), Toddler (2-3 yrs of age), Primary (3-6 years of age): full & half- day programs, including full-day Kindergarten. Also offered are the options of early arrival (Early Bird), lunch, aftercare, a selection of enrichment programs, and summer programs.

22ndCenturyMedia.com private school Guide 22nd century media | august 8, 2019 | 25 Leadership lives at St. John’s Northwestern Military Academy Beyond the gates of St. John’s Northwestern Military Academy lies a historic institution that has prepared teens for college and a lifetime of opportunity for 135 years. “We attract a diverse group of young boys and girls capable of significant achievement, and looking for guidance on how to maximize their potential,” said Tom Stocks, president of St. John’s Northwestern and a 1969 alumnus. St. John’s Northwestern (SJNMA) opened in 1884 as a private, college preparatory and leadership development school. In 1995, it merged with Northwestern Military and Naval Academy of Lake Geneva to become St. John’s Northwestern. Nestled in the center of beautiful Delafield, Wisc., SJNMA is principally a boarding school for boys and girls, grades 7-12; while also offering an active day student program to the local community. SJNMA follows a longestablished military format for the benefit of structure, and the advancement of honor, dignity and respect. Hundreds of its graduates have been admitted to the Five Military Service Academies, and the overwhelming majority advance to notable colleges and universities. Prominent alumni include Curtis “Buzz” Roosevelt, the actor Spencer Tracy and Martin Torrijos Espino, former president of the Republic of Panama. The academic curriculum at St. John’s Northwestern features a studentinstructor ratio that allows for personal support by highly dedicated faculty. “Individual attention and classroom interaction optimize mastery of the subject matter, and the learning process itself,” said Dr. Eric Wozniak, SJNMA’s Headmaster. In addition, cadets learn outside the classroom through field trips, excursions, community service and study abroad. Diploma options include STEM Honors, Humanities Honors, as well as technical diplomas and paths to earn dual college credit. St. John’s Northwestern also offers courses in English as a Second Language, music, art, engineering, technology and aviation. St. John’s Northwestern places a high value on faith formation as a foundation for solid character development. Cadets are taught the importance of service before self through a variety of community service activities. The stunning Noble Victory Chapel — St. John the Divine, was constructed by highlydedicated returning cadets serving in World War I. The chapel is part of the Episcopal Diocese of Milwaukee and is celebrating its 100th anniversary. A commitment to athletics and wellness is yet another important pillar of SJNMA’s program. “Through varsity-level competition or intramural sports or activities, athletic competition instills valuable life lessons such as teamwork, dedication, and good sportsmanship” said Mike Fink, SJNMA’s Athletic Director. A variety of sports are offered, including football, basketball, baseball, cross country, wrestling, swimming, golf, tennis and lacrosse. The Academy’s 110- acre campus is a sight to behold. The beautiful terrain is accented by historic early-20th Century architecture and features a nine-hole golf course, impressive outdoor athletic complex, obstacle course, tennis courts and indoor swimming pool. St. John’s Northwestern is rated a top Christian boarding school by Boarding School Review and received a perfect score at the 2019 JROTC Program of Accreditation review. Open houses are held every month for families to tour the campus, meet the leadership, and learn about the various scholarship and financial aid options available.
