Community Investment Supports Curriculum
Did you know that your Community Investment gift supports our curriculum? Our Humane Letters Seminar is one of our most defining features here at SPA. A few weeks ago, I asked Mr. Hennessee to share his thoughts on the Humane Letters experience:
Humane Letters, while reading and discussing the Great Works of Western civilization, inspires child-like wonder and promotes critical inquiry into the human experience. Reading, speaking, and writing skills simultaneously sharpen while pondering the authors' masterpieces and articulating reasoned answers to the enduring questions that require evermore precision, logic, and eloquence. Critical thinking and civil skills harmonize as the free thinker justly interacts with his diverse class in the communal search in for the good, true, and beautiful.
 Mr. Nathan Hennessee, with his 11th grade scholars and the custom tables he built.
The quality of education delivered at our school is only possible with your generous support of our Community Investment campaign.
We are honored to publicly recognize those families and friends who have contributed to the Community Investment campaign.

as of October 22, 2018.
