School of the Holy Child, established in 1904, is an American all-girls', Catholic, independent, college-preparatory school for grades 5 through 12, located in Harrison, New York (with a Rye postal address). [1]

Contents

The school is guided by the educational philosophy of Cornelia Connelly, the founder of the Society of the Holy Child Jesus, and her dedication to developing "young women of conscience and action".

Description

The school enrolls students from nearly 70 communities in Westchester, Fairfield, Putnam, New York and Bronx counties and offers programs in the humanities, global & religious studies, science & technology, engineering & architecture, arts & athletics, as well as field-based and service-learning programs.

The school's 20-acre (8.1 ha) campus in Rye contains a Tudor Revival mansion dating back to 1930, as well as recently constructed academic and extracurricular facilities. A $6.5 million capital campaign was completed in the summer of 2015. The campus expansion included a design studio for students who participate in architecture, engineering, and design courses, as well as a 22,000 square feet (2,000 m2) Field House for sporting events. In the Field House are the 11,000 square feet (1,000 m2) Kelly Gymnasium, Giordano Fitness Center, Ciaccia Athletic Training Room, dance studio, locker rooms, and The Kennedy Common Room. A theater was completed in January 2016.

In 2012, the school launched the Generoso Pope Italian Cultural Studies Program, a two-year program of language, history, research, and study of Italian culture that culminates in a two-week summer trip to Italy.

A year later, the school received a grant from the Edward E. Ford Foundation to expand the school's STEM program. Modeled after its humanities-based counterpart, the Engineering, Architecture, and Design for the Common Good Program is a two-year program that focuses on engineering, architecture, and digital design.

In 2018, the school received another grant from the Edward E. Ford Foundation to create the Leadership Institute in Finance, a two-year, college-level seminar course that covers financial literacy and business ethics.

In 2020, the Italian Cultural Studies Program became the broader, inquiry-based Advanced Humanities Institute.

A 1:1 laptop program and course offerings in robotics, computer coding, and computer gaming are available to students.

Carleton University is an English-language public research university in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Founded in 1942 as Carleton College, the institution originally operated as a private, non-denominational evening college to serve returning World War II veterans. Carleton was chartered as a university by the provincial government in 1952 through The Carleton University Act, which was then amended in 1957, giving the institution its current name. The university is named for the now-dissolved Carleton County, which included the city of Ottawa at the time the university was founded. Carleton County, in turn, was named in honour of Guy Carleton, 1st Baron Dorchester, who was Governor General of The Canadas from 1786 to 1796. The university moved to its current campus in 1959, growing rapidly in size during the 1960s as the Ontario government increased support for post-secondary institutions and expanded access to higher education.
