LD Symposium and College Night April 24\|6:30 p.m. Renaissance School is offering a college counseling evening that addresses how learning differences affect various aspects of application process and college life. Families will be provided with an in-depth explanation regarding college accommodations and learn how college admissions handles disability information. In addition to key information regarding learning differences, admissions representatives from Lynn University, University of Denver, and University of La Verne will speak and answer questions. This event is open to all Upper and Middle school families. If you are interested in attending, please RSVP with Jill Brammah or click the button below for more information. The deadline to RSVP is April 20.	10th Grade College Case Studies Night April 11 \| 6:30 p.m. Every year, 10th grade students and their parents are invited to participate in a mock admissions evening known as Case Studies. Parents and students will receive three sample college admissions applications to review in advance. During the Case Studies event, they meet in small groups with experienced admission officers who lead a discussion on what colleges look for in an applicant, as well as what colleges value. This is a wonderful opportunity for students to learn first-hand how they will be evaluated and begin thinking about the qualities and strengths they bring to the process and how best to prepare for the application process. A college fair concludes the evening, allowing students to benefit from one-on-one conversations with college reps. Click the button below to read more about visiting colleges and other information.

To celebrate Peter McCormack's 25-year tenure as Head of School at Rolling Hills Prep and Renaissance Schools, we have produced a brand new video with a great story to tell. The launch of the McCormack Fund for Financial Aid honors Peter's commitment to making our schools more accessible to a broader spectrum of students, enhancing the experience of every student as we prepare them for an increasingly diverse and complex world.

In addition to being featured as the "fund a need" at this year's "British I nvasion" gala , online giving options are also available as of today.

The lin k below will direct you to the video, as well as the opportunity to purchase tickets to "British Invasion," donate gala items, or to make a gift to The McCormack Fund for Financial Aid. We look forward to seeing you May 5th at the Crowne Plaza Redondo Beach.
