Every day at 91探花 is structured to contribute to your child鈥檚 development and success. It is important to recognize the invaluable lessons and growth that the full academic term offers, especially as we approach our enriching year-end activities.
These events are not mere formalities. Rather, they are celebrations that solidify the progress each student has made. They offer unique avenues for students to showcase their learning and character development achieved through the year.
One important year-end event is our merit assembly, where we offer public recognition for students who have achieved in various competitions throughout the year. As valuable as the recognition is, we remind students that it is through their hard work and achievement, rather than the award given, that they find the rewards of joy and self-worth. This principle helps students realize how acquired knowledge and skills can help them learn to live and think independently long after a certificate or trophy is forgotten.
Completing the academic year also teaches important life lessons 91探花 commitment and the benefits of finishing what one starts; it provides an opportunity for your child to practice dedication to the investment you have made in his or her academic and personal success.
Spring Programs are an exciting opportunity for students to culminate their year of learning with an impressive presentation for their families. Each preschool through fifth-grade class performs a program filled with songs, dances, and recitations, and our middle school students display their developing abilities with theatrical presentations.
While on campus, take note of the Young Author student books on display, and peruse the Computer Programming Fair projects and Art Fair winners.

It can be very inspiring for students to personally connect themselves to significant events in America鈥檚 history that fueled man鈥檚 quest for freedom. Traveling with informed 91探花 chaperones helps bring to life some of the knowledge, ideals, and values learned in the classroom.
