The Benefits
-
Students
-
Independent schools offer low-income students a chance and a
challenge. They are exposed to rich diversity, new ideas, and
new ways of learning. They are expected and encouraged to do
their best. This tradition of success leads to high
standardized test scores and high graduation rates.
-
Parents
-
When parents choose to send their children to non-public
schools, they choose to become active participants in their
children's education. This positive involvement in their
children's well being strengthens family life. The smaller,
community atmosphere of a non-public school can offer parents
assistance in the development of their child's value systems.
-
Schools
-
By filling empty desks with scholarship students, we make
schools stronger. In areas with changing demographics,
scholarships offer schools greater financial stability through
an expanded base of support. These monies allow financially
strapped schools to serve children in their neighborhoods.
-
Community
-
An investment in education is good economics. Well-educated
children make better life choices. We strengthen our inner city
neighborhoods through the presence of a neighborhood school. We
enhance the local job market through a well-trained employee
pool.
