What makes you special?
Summer College wants to know!

One of the reasons that Cornell Summer College is so exciting is that we choose students who have demonstrated academic ability, intellectual curiosity, and a wide range of interests and talents.

Cornell University Summer College – one of the oldest and most prestigious programs of its kind – invites talented high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors to its acclaimed three- and six-week precollege programs.

Online applications will open in January, and admissions decisions for all programs will be made on a rolling basis.

King Career Center Informational Night Tuesday Nov 7

Dear ASD sophomores, juniors, and their parents:

On Tuesday, November 7, we are holding our first informational night about KCC’s transition to a full time school beginning in the 2018-19 school year, and you are invited!

This is a great chance to hear about and visit a school that provides excellent career and college preparation in 26 different programs.  After the presentation, you will have a better understanding of why KCC might be perfect for the last two years of high school.

Come find out how students are professionally trained, connected directly with industry, and how they gain a competitive advantage in their adventures after high school. We hope to see you here at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday evening.

Thank you.

Galapagos Intensive count down has started!

For parents and students in the Galapagos Intensive, the count down is started!!  We have 6 weeks until we will be on an airplane headed for Ecuador.  I would like to host a final parent/student meeting at Steller on November 15th at 6:00pm to make sure everyone has the contact information, all paperwork filled out, a packing list and general travel guidelines.  This meeting should take about 1/2 hour to an hour depending on paperwork.  We will be meeting in Svetlana’s room (not the relo) because hopefully there will be snow by then!  If you cannot attend, please contact me at hohnstein_rosalie@asdk12.org so that I can meet with you another time and double check that you have all of the information we will be covering at the meeting.
