J. Addison School is not just a building. J. Addison School is not just a group of classrooms with students in them. J. Addison School is not just reading, writing, and arithmetic. My definition of the name "J. Addison School" is more of a concept. It is the interaction of different people with a common focus – educating students to their highest level of ability. But the term "education" is not just learning content, facts, and processes, but how to be successful in life. At J. Addison, we continue to grow, and we are proud that we 'educate our students not to cut down jungles, but to irrigate deserts.' I am thrilled to serve as the principal of J. Addison School. I…

Right from our vision statement: "Immaculata: A Family that Fosters Excellence," we identify our students, staff, and families as all part of an extended family. Teachers know all of the students by their first names, figure out who their siblings are, and get to know their parents. Students know that the staff is available to them for academic, spiritual, and emotional support. We have had former students choose to return to Immaculata as teachers to continue their school journey. We have had generations of families choose to attend Immaculata so that children of former students can enjoy the same experience that they enjoyed. In 1938, the Sisters of Charity began form…

Our calling as a Christian school is not to offer an alternative program to the public school system. Those of us, who have committed our vocational careers to Christian education, firmly believe in all parents' great calling. Deuteronomy 6 tells us that we are to train our children to love the LORD with all their hearts, soul, mind, and strength. Ultimately, we seek to prepare our young people for an increasingly secular world. Kenneth Coley (2006) discusses this concept in his book The Helmsman: leading with courage and wisdom. "Our ultimate goal for our children must be for each one to view all of life from a scripture-centered perspective rather than a human-centere…

Our goal does not stop at assisting you to receive offers from universities, and it is to help prepare you for what is to come after you go to universities.

What is education about? Our answer is: It is about the whole child. It is about building a great mind, but it is also about shaping a kind heart. The fast-changing world of the 21st century will ask for the independent and critical thinker, for the culturally aware individual, and the empathetic and respectful leader. GIST’s program combines academic excellence with high-quality character education. Allow me to explore this a little further. Our Kindergarten is based on play. Children explore and discover. However, we also offer a fully bilingual environment, phonetics programs in English and German, and an innovative pre-school concept called “Eingangsstufe” (Entry…
