The Satellite School, an alternative junior high school (grades 7 through 9), opens this year in new facilities at Shaare Emeth Temple, Delmar and Trinity in University City. The only alternative school this area for the 12 – 15 age group, the Satellite is co-educational and nonsectarian.
The Satellite was founded by parents, and a Parents Advisory Board oversees all aspects of the school, in cooperation with the director and staff. Students come from a wide variety of educational, cultural and religious backgrounds.
Individual differences are respected, and personal growth is deemed as important as academic growth.
Students at the Satellite are required to participate daily in four major subject areas—Math, Language skills, Social Studies, and Science— involving activities as well as classroom instruction. This structured portion of the program consumes approximately 75% of the student’s day.
In the remaining time the student has many options, mini-courses, physical education, field trips, art, music, independent study, Parent and community volunteers enrich the elective part of the program.
The Satellite program seeks to discover and apply creative techniques in its academic program.
For example, the students operate a leather manufacturing company which is integrated into the elective program. Industrial machines, maintenance, purchase of raw materials, production, accounting and sales are student directed. Students are paid for their work and profits from the operation feed into the scholarship fund.
The Satellite School can accept a maximum of 60 students. Tuition is $1,000 per academic year plus a $50 registration fee. Some scholarships are available.
Interested readers are encouraged to clip the coupon below and mail it to the Satellite Director. Interviews will be arranged for prospective students.
