Jesus said, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6
Update from Vice Principal of Student Services Mrs. Christine Cosenza
For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.
2 Timothy 1:7
As we end our second week of distance learning, I find the verse above comforting during this different season of everyday life in which we currently find ourselves. We all face significant changes to our daily lives due to COVID-19 and therefore we realize the importance of tending to the social and emotional needs of not only our students, but our families. If we reflect and meditate on the verse above, we are guided to focus on three areas: power, love, and self-control. These are just three of the ways in which we can charter these uncertain waters.

Update from Vice Principal of Academics Mrs. Eun Chu Kim
Christ’s peace and joy to you as we quickly approach the celebration of Christ’s resurrection!

Just as on-ground teachers have different teaching styles and modalities for their instructional practices, online teachers also tailor their learning experiences according to their students’ needs. During this unprecedented time, we cannot expect that the schedules and situation of all families are aligned to make synchronous instruction feasible for all students. In fact, the vast majority of schools across the world are not able to deliver 100% of instruction synchronously for this very reason.
