Atlanta Journal Constitution profiles GVS

The Living Section of the AJC under the "Education" heading published a major profile of the school on Sunday February 13th. Sensitively written by their Staff Writer Shelia Poole, the piece ran to two pages and had several photos. We have reprints of the article available by mail if you would like one; just email Grace or call the school 404-371-0107 and request one.  Or click here to read the article. This follows the excellent piece the AJC's education editor Maureen Downey wrote on GVS earlier.

 

Atlanta is a major relocation center for the thousands of refugees who are selected annually for admission to safe harbor in this country from war and dislocation all over the world. It's gratifying that its hometown newspaper has taken a keen ongoing interest in how these new residents are educated.

Parents' Day was a wonderful success. All the teachers met parents and family members, and then visited each classroom for an explanation of the curriculum and Q&A from the individual teachers. Our Academic Director showed how the newest English learners had progressed in 6 weeks from zero to reading whole sentences, and the ability to write those sentences from dictation. And of course we had cake and lemonade and tea and lots of little children to make the day fun for everyone. Go to Our Gallery for pics!

GVS Summer Program at mid-point

Starting June 21st, GVS girls have been attending a summer program directed by Agnes Scott graduate student Senam Apaloo.  Three days a week the program has provided practical instruction, intensive English, and a lot of summer fun, thanks to Senam and her colleagues at ASC.  Thank you many times over  to everyone who helped make this happen!  The program ends July 22nd, but not before the long awaited trip to Six Flags Over Georgia.  Photos coming.
