Known familiarly as "Sewanee" by its students, faculty, staff, and friends, the University of the South offers an unmatched educational experience. The University remains purposefully small and dedicated to building a sense of community. All classes are taught by professors, not graduate teaching assistants, and close faculty-student interaction ensures that each student enjoys a rich and personal educational experience. It is not unusual for students and faculty members to shoulder on research projects and journal articles, meet for coffee at a local eatery or serve together as members of the university orchestra, volunteer fire department, and other civic groups. The result of such individualized education is evident in the academic success of Sewanee students and alumni. The University has had 26 Rhodes Scholars—a number that puts Sewanee in the top four nationally among American liberal arts colleges—as well as 34 NCAA Postgraduate Fellows, 47 Watson Fellows, and dozens of Fulbright Scholars, and has an acceptance rate to graduate and professional schools that far outpaces its peers. The School of Theology has added countless bishops to its alumni, including three of the last four presiding bishops of the Episcopal Church. Sewanee offers 36 majors, 43 minors, and 15 special programs, along with pre-professional programs in business, health/medicine, education, engineering, and law. More than 40 percent of students participate in study-abroad programs, and a comprehensive endowed program that provides financial support for summer internships has greatly strengthened career development for undergraduates. In an era of specialization, Sewanee upholds the broad-based ideals of liberal education as a surer means to success. At the University of the South, the adherence to outstanding liberal arts education and enduring traditions of honor, community, and respect have transformed many generations of students and have earned the abiding loyalty and support of alumni who enjoy lives of integrity, leadership, and service. The University is located atop the Cumberland Plateau between Nashville and Chattanooga, Tennessee. Sewanee's physical environment, which includes the 13,000–acre Domain (as the campus and surrounding area is known), provides a remarkable academic and recreational resource, and an unparalleled place in which to study and reflect. It invites students to engage in both a multitude of outdoor activities and a careful study of the natural environment. The University of the South is an institution of the Episcopal Church dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge, understanding, and wisdom in close community and full freedom of inquiry, and enlightened by Christian faith in the Anglican tradition, welcoming individuals from all backgrounds to the end that students be prepared to search for truth, seek justice, preserve liberty under law, and serve God and humanity. The College of Arts and Sciences is committed to developing the whole person through a liberal arts education of the highest quality. Outstanding students work closely with distinguished and diverse faculty in a demanding course of humane and scientific study that prepares them for achievement and service lives. Providing rich opportunities for leadership and intellectual and spiritual growth, while grounding its community on a pledge of honor, Sewanee enables students to live with grace, integrity, and a reverent concern for the world. The School of Theology educates women and men to serve the Episcopal Church's broad whole in ordained and lay vocations. The School develops leaders who are learned, skilled, informed by the Word of God, and committed to the mission of Christ's church in the Anglican tradition of forming disciples through the everyday life of prayer, learning, and service. Sewanee's seminary education and world-wide programs equip people for ministry through the gift of theological reflection in the community. Sewanee, as we are familiarly known, is an internationally recognized university with students from 31 countries and 48 states. Consistently ranked as one of the top liberal arts colleges in the country, the University of the South is considered one of the "best values" in higher education and one of the top five most beautiful campuses in the United States. Sewanee is committed to education, diversity, and service. Twenty-six Rhodes Scholars have been educated at Sewanee, and we offer a wide range of academic opportunities for young scholars with world-class talent to thrive. With a campus that covers 13,000 acres, you are guaranteed to learn as much outside the classroom as you will inside of it. The outdoors may become your classroom. But don't take our word for it. Come to Sewanee for a visit, and you be the judge. Sewanee's culture of excellence leads students to discover their potential in and out of the classroom. During their four years here, Sewanee students explore multiple directions, wear various hats, and cross-disciplinary boundaries to shape identities for themselves. They are vibrant members of our shared community. Discover what you can do—and what you can discover about yourself along the way. The staff members in the Office of Student Life are ready to help you on your adventure. The sidebar navigation will introduce programs, departments, and people that contribute to the Sewanee experience. View full university

Guided by our mission, South Kent School's academic, athletic, and student life programming work together to develop thriving young men. Using our contemporary expertise in male adolescent education, we are continually evolving and adapting to ensure we provide students with the skills and develop the character they will need to succeed in college and the world beyond. In the classroom, every SKS boy is provided the resources and encouragement he needs to live as a thriving young man in uniform and life. These principles, along with the lessons and traditions passed down by our earliest leaders, form the School's foundations, and throughout the years, as the School has changed and grown, have remained relevant and continue to serve as a guidepost for all we do. A South Kent School education is about far more than just what happens in the classroom between students and teachers; at SKS, attention is given to all aspects of a student's growth and development. In this space, I will share my thoughts on South Kent School, the latest thinking in the field of education, and, because parents are vital to a boy's growth, information, and links to resources that can help you better understand and be more involved in your son's education. South Kent School refers to grades 9th through 12th as "forms" third through sixth. This categorization is adopted from the British, who traditionally used this term in their boarding schools. South Kent School is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges. It holds memberships in the Cum Laude Society, the National Association of Independent Schools, the National Association of Episcopal Schools, the Secondary School Admission Test Board, the Connecticut Association of Independent Schools, and the National Association for College Admission Counseling.

South Hills Academy is a private school in West Covina, California, that emphasizes excellence in the present and readiness for the future in students from preschool through Grade 12. At SHA, staff and students work together to help students achieve five key outcomes that will be important as they venture into adulthood. In all our work, recreation, and interaction with one another, we - the staff, parents, and students - strive to exhibit character that is consistent with Christ's teachings. This identity is at the heart of our day-to-day lives here at South Hills Academy. It is the basis of our family atmosphere. It is the foundation of our approach to helping students develop into healthy, successful adults by graduating from high school. Another fundamental aspect of successful people and our daily operations at South Hills Academy is effective communication. Teachers work to continually provide students with opportunities, models, and feedback to develop outstanding communication skills. Students learn to read, write, listen, and speak effectively in various situations by participating in stimulating projects and activities organized by the teacher, student-run activities, and informal interactions with fellow students and teachers. We believe that strong social engagement is vital for the prosperity of individuals and society. So we guide our students to develop the habits and skills of beneficial social engagement, allowing them to live more fulfilling lives as adults and contribute to the spread of Christian values and the continued improvement of our society. Through lessons in the classroom, modeling by our staff members, participation in field trips and projects, and experience working and playing with their schoolmates, and our students will learn to respect the rights and value of others, to understand and appreciate diversity, to build positive relationships, and to assume responsibility for making beneficial contributions to their communities. Critical thinking is a skill that is even more necessary in the age of information and technology. With all of the information that constantly bombards us, we need to know how to find the truth and separate it from untruth. SHA equips students with a strong foundation of truthful knowledge and skills to gather, process, analyze, synthesize, and evaluate information using various strategies. By the time students graduate from high school, SHA wants students to have the confidence and ability to successfully navigate the sea of information to make sagacious decisions, solve problems, resolve conflicts, avoid falling prey to deception and falsehood, and continue to discover the truth. Recognizing that our world is becoming smaller and more globalized, SHA nurtures students into global citizens. These adults have a solid understanding and appreciation of the world's current situations and peoples and capable of interacting with people of different cultures beneficially collaborative and synergistic manner. Being global citizens also means upholding our responsibility to help take care of our world and to promote peace, mutual respect, and goodwill in all our actions and interactions. South Hills Academy and its staff are committed to creating an effective learning environment that encourages our students to reach their potential. We strive to open doors for every student while empowering them to grow and continue to discover opportunities for themselves as they leave our programs. By achieving the five outcomes described above, students will develop into highly successful and fulfilled individuals. View full school

"Taste and see that God is good." King David's words in the 34th chapter of Tehillim are referenced on our school's logo and with good reason. Taste and sight are very active senses.

Welcome to the University of South Florida St. Petersburg, where a half-century of tradition meets innovation. At USF St. Petersburg, students enjoy smaller classes. Professors who know you by name. Students are researching the undergraduate and graduate levels – side by side with professors. A setting that encourages creativity. All the advantages of a large public university, including nationally ranked NCAA football, men's basketball, women's softball, and women's sailing. Located on beautiful Bayboro Harbor on the shores of Tampa Bay, students, faculty, and staff have access to sailing, swimming, canoeing, kayaking, and paddle-boarding. A bustling downtown is a short walk away, with an array of world-class museums, a performing arts center, restaurants, nightclubs, and parks. Some of the finest beaches in the country are just a 15-minute drive away. A growing residential student population totaling more than 600, including 200 at the University Student Center, includes a dining facility called The Reef offering full-service meal plans, outdoor basketball courts, and spacious meeting rooms. Because of the campus's intimate size, a walk to class or the Nelson Poynter Memorial Library is a walk with friends — students with intense energy who like to get things done and make a difference. Innovation, collaboration, and community engagement are not just buzz words at USF St. Petersburg. They are among the core principles and the outgrowth of a creative environment on display in every corner of the community. Our students and professors are not cloistered in an ivory tower but engaged in the broader community — future journalists writing about real people in Midtown St. Petersburg, psychology majors working with African-American families on co-parenting strategies, education faculty training middle school teachers better ways for kids to learn math, accounting students helping low-income and elderly residents with their income taxes. The community also comes to campus: business and political leaders offering real-word experiences, lectures by visiting scholars, thousands of book lovers drawn to best-selling authors at the Tampa Bay Times Festival of Reading, and thousands more to the annual St. Petersburg Science Festival. No need to imagine: Exciting things like these are happening around every corner at USF St. Petersburg. Inspire scholars to lead lives of impact. USF St. Petersburg will shine. USF St. Petersburg faculty and administrators will shoulder with students and community partners to build a better world. We will challenge ourselves to excel in research, teaching, and service. Continuing Education programs are for adult learners who are interested in furthering their knowledge about topics of interest. There is no college credit received for the coursework; therefore, there are no credit hours delegated to a degree program. Most of our bachelor's programs – and many of our master's programs – contain online learning opportunities. Online learning means the class has a separation of either space or time between students, instructors, and the rest of the class. Online learning offered at USF St. Petersburg is Web-based, meaning interaction among students and his/her instructors and classmates is conducted through sophisticated Websites. Some classes may have an on-campus (face to face) orientation, but the rest of the class then occurs online. Usf st. Petersburg is the place to know and is known. Besides offering you an excellent education in a small classroom setting, we also offer excellent opportunities to get involved beyond the classroom. Please take advantage of the many activities and programs we have available. Make connections, make a difference, and make the most out of your college experience. Research is at the heart of the USFSP experience, and it is not limited to graduate students. Among the most distinctive aspects of our curriculum are the myriad opportunities for undergraduate research. USF St. Petersburg has a history rich with academic excellence, entrepreneurial spirit, and ingenuity. Its founders opened the doors to students on Sept. 5, 1965, and throughout its history, this academic cove on Bayboro Harbor has embraced enormous change as Florida's need for higher education intensified. USF St. Petersburg was the first regional higher education institution in Florida. USF St. Petersburg's early administrators were creative and ambitious, building support from the St. Petersburg City Council, St. Petersburg Chamber of Commerce, the Florida Legislature, the Board of Regents, and intellectual leaders such as Nelson Poynter of the St. Petersburg Times, to lead the institution toward its current role as an urban graduate institution. In the late 1990s, lawmakers began the process that would lead to USF St. Petersburg becoming a separately accredited institution within the USF System. That led to a rapid expansion under interim VP/CEO Ralph Wilcox. The Florida Legislature made it official in 2002 with a law creating the University of South Florida St. Petersburg. Its first residence hall broke ground in 2005. In 2006, USFSP was awarded separate accreditation by the Southern Association of College and Schools. Under the leadership of Regional Vice-Chancellor Margaret Sullivan, the accreditation was reaffirmed in 2011. View full university

Building partnerships has been the cornerstone of the University of South Carolina Aiken since its inception in 1961. It was then that the Aiken community citizens voiced the need for a local institution of higher education. In a real demonstration of grassroots politics, the community rallied to show their support for a college founded in the area. A governing board was formed through state legislation, the Aiken County Commission for Higher Education, which continues to oversee the University's mission. The University of South Carolina, the state's flagship university founded in Columbia in 1801, began offering courses in Aiken for students interested in completing their degrees in Columbia. USC Aiken became the fourth campus founded of the eight that would eventually comprise the USC System. Three full-time faculty members, a secretary, and 139 students joined for the University's first academic semester in September 1961. Classes took place in "Banksia", a former winter-colony mansion in downtown Aiken. For 11 years, the University's first students attended college in a structure developed as living quarters, studying composition in an area that was once a ballroom and algebra in a former sitting room. Over the years, the student population grew, and the need for a new physical location for campus arose. The University purchased the Graniteville Company's property and moved from Banksia to its present site in 1972. One multipurpose building was constructed, which was later named the Robert E. Penland Administration Building. This building's open courtyard features one of the campus' most notable landmarks, the Double Knot sculpture by artist Charles Perry, which symbolizes the University's close ties with the local community. At the time, most assumed that this would be the only building ever needed for the campus; however, the University grew to occupy more than 20 buildings and athletics facilities in the years that followed. The institution began forming a limited number of sports teams as part of the NAIA in the 1960s. USC Aiken student-athletes adopted the Pacers as their mascot, named Aiken's well-known status as an equestrian community. In 1990, USC Aiken achieved NCAA Division II status and became a charter member of the highly-competitive Peach Belt Conference. Today, Pacer Athletics hosts 11 varsity men's and women's sports teams, including the three-time national champion men's golf team. Today, USC Aiken has ranked in the top three public baccalaureate colleges in the South by U.S. News & World Report's guide "Best Colleges" for twenty-one consecutive years. More than 3,500 students attend the University, and approximately 500 students graduate each year.
