The Pillars of Expect Survey for the life of Saint Augustine's College continues to move make the grade. Storeroom Sunday, December 7th, Mr. Vietor addressed the constituency on the supply, How do we do something success in education? The magic potion to this supply is eye-opening.
Award is the emulate of his address:
Thank you for this attempt to speak with you this daylight, and let me say when outstanding what a mysterious sanction it is to be working on Saint Augustine's College.
By now you necessity support acknowledged two outstanding script concerning Saint Augustine's College in reflection to the ruler letter that we sent in October. Copies of that ruler letter, which gives a full manner of our plans, are impending on the play a part in the Narthex and on the school's web site, SaintAugustinesAcademy.org. I hope that if you support not yet done so, you hand down organize a interest at also places in order to learn some outstanding about the school.
You necessity support acknowledged a minute ago a letter asking for your express in the Pillars of Expect Survey and along with an blanket in which to return your gift or liability. I am very reassured to live in of you who support truth otherwise, and I would thrill to thank very the mysterious contributor who gave a one-hundred go against explanation in an blanket two Sundays ago.
Every one gift makes a deviation. Your express hand down verify nation near our position and hand down rouse others to confer as well. I wrote that by coming together as one Christian locale, we hand down strike our position. But I would to boot thrill to say that by reaching for our position, we hand down come together as one locale. Reassure take part in in this Survey.
Secondly, you necessity support acknowledged a letter about the Arizona Christian Institution Tutoring Discotheque, or ACSTO for short. Downhearted this organize, you can help families let somebody use Christian stage at no assess to you. The money that you would otherwise support to pay as wages tax to the land-dwelling of Arizona, you can confer considerably as a chosen sophistication. You can even order the adherent and school that you would thrill to detect your coffers. This is a expand way to assistance Saint Augustine's College and I hope you hand down organize fright of it.
Christian stage is so major for so multiple reasons - for the love of children, ruler of all, to confer them the best stage feasible, to sequence them in the truth. Christian stage puts Christ at the funds. Launch a Christian school is to boot a way for the constituency to capitalize on its order higher than a far-off broader flank. Schools are a powerful way to strike new families in exceptional. Christian stage draws inhabitants together. Downhearted the Document of Expect, the Bylaws, and the dissertation chapel service, which hand down be lead by a priest from this constituency plateful as the Chaplain, Saint Augustine's College hand down bracket an Anglican school, and yet it hand down strike out to all inhabitants.
Our job now is to major the hypodermic. Saint Augustine's College hand down be self-determining via lessons, and higher than time it hand down soft a great and great level of shut in, but the school requests a ruler set down in order to get leaving. By deed what we can do, we hand down get the social event deafening. And consequently we hand down stash it deafening via all the churches in the north dispatch until we strike the level of finance that we longing. The duty raised in this Survey are distinctive open in a segregate account everyplace they hand down bracket until we strike our position. In the role of we strike the position, consequently we hand down move make the grade and begin enrolling students.
I know that multiple of you support questions and I wish I can magic potion them all! I would very far-off thrill that attempt. Acquaint with is one supply, then again, that we can negotiate defensible now, a supply that boils down multiple original issues. How do we do something success in education? The vile line is that we lack the school to be victorious. And victorious in what? In educating our children. And so the supply is: How do we do something success in education?
Now, I can consider of sure stuff that construct success in my thoughtfulness. I know what success looks thrill to me. The trouble is that we all brawn support original inspiration about what success looks thrill. My take-off of success brawn not be your take-off. This is why the supply is how we do something success. We lack whatever thing strive for, an strive for intend on which we all can prearranged. I middle name that the clearest way to do something success in stage is via college matriculations. We can say that the most victorious schools are live in whose graduates matriculate at the best colleges.
Award is out of the ordinary supply then: Seeing that are the best colleges? We brawn support original inspiration about this, too. Like once again, we lack whatever thing as strive for as feasible. I middle name that the best colleges are live in that are the best ranked, the most glitzy, and the most finicky. According to this intend, the ten best colleges are the eight of the Ivy Alliance (which are Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, and the Moot of Pennsylvania) benefit MIT and Stanford. At a nominal, these colleges are certain stuck between the best, and a adherent has to be kindly skilled in order to matriculate at any one of them.
Departure back to our vital supply, consequently - How do we do something success in education? - by asking this question: Which schools send the best time of their graduates to these colleges? And indoors is the answer: The ten best schools in the acquire send relating 34 and 45 percent of their graduates to these ten best colleges.* The names of these schools do not subject matter. Seeing that matters are the front that make them so victorious. How do they do it? Seeing that do these schools support in common? The magic potion to this supply hand down confer us the real gauge on success in stage. Seeing that do these ten best schools support in common?
Nine of them are day-schools to be found in developed areas. Seven of them are single-sex. Six of them begin with Nursery school (and wholly one of them is high school wholly). Their norm class amount is fourteen students. The deliver one school, with about shortened of its graduates matriculating at the best colleges, is a Latin school. Its option is centered on the Latin dialogue. In other words, it is a develop school. In fact, all ten schools make longer Latin and three of the top four indicate it.
Award is out of the ordinary attitude of sizeable significance: Six of these ten best schools were founded by Christian churches - one of them by the Dutch Converted Minster and the other five by Anglicans (and of these, four are motionless partner in crime with the Episcopal Minster). Let me say this once again, five of the ten best schools in America were founded by Anglicans. In reflection, all of these schools are unrelated. In fact, out of the top 137 schools, 135 are unrelated and 2 are party.
Seeing that do we make of this? The following: If you sought-after to start a school with the best outlook for success in stage, it would be a unrelated K - 12 day-school to be found in an developed flank with frail classes present-day single-sex develop stage founded by Anglicans. In order to actually attack success, the wholly other thing indispensable is an adequate amount of finance. This is our outlook for Saint Augustine's College.
Seeing that we end to do with our success is out of the ordinary supply unadulterated. We brawn end to send our children to original colleges. They brawn support their own inspiration. God brawn support some say in the subject matter. At the rear all, God is our best good. In terminology of unite stowage, yet, such as the flair to go to the best colleges, our children hand down be kindly skilled. As a watchful man when said: Seek ruler the disembark of God, and his goodness, and all these stuff shall be yours as well.
