from the head of school

DEAR ALUMNI, PARENTS, AND FRIENDS,Welcome to the pages of Holy Child Academy’s inaugural magazine, designed to keep you better informed of our latest news and events. We are thrilled to use this first issue to celebrate not one, but two significant milestones in the school’s history: our 90th anniversary and the launch of our groundbreaking Innovation lab.

At Holy Child Academy, our past and our future are inextricably linked. Cornelia Connelly, foundress of the Society of the Holy Child Jesus (SHCJ), challenged us with the mandate to provide an education that “meets the wants of the age.” Since 1927, we have endeavored to provide the exceptional academic, personal, and spiritual formation she advocated, while adapting our approach for the times.

This fall, we officially dedicated our brand new Innovation Lab—the cornerstone of our strategy for equipping students with the skills needed to thrive in the 21st century. Highly anticipated to revolutionize the way we educate our children, the initiative is the first of its kind in Delaware County to engage children as young as two in STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics) exploration in an academic setting.

Even as we forge new paths to prepare our students for tomorrow’s challenges, we proudly reflect on our 90-year history of excellence. In September, a special liturgy celebrated by Rev. Stephen D. Thorne kicked off a yearlong series of events commemorating our 90th anniversary and the tradition that lives on at Holy Child Academy today. We were joined by previous school leaders Sr. Alice Penrose, SHCJ, Sr. Claire Smith, SHCJ, and Anita Coll.

We hope you will join us in celebrating both our powerful past and our vibrant future as we continue to help each of our students develop his or her God-given talents in service to society.

With warm regards,

Margaret Fox-TullyHead of School

Just check out our website to see the TV and newspaper coverage it has received.

These are great times, and it is important that we continue to look ahead to a future that is even brighter. The Board of Trustees, together with Margaret and her team, has worked to create a strategic plan designed to propel Holy Child to bigger and better things. Since the summer, we have been examining the Academy from every angle, with an eye on improving and growing in a variety of areas, from the physical plant to the curriculum and from HCA’s role in the community, to the values that we instill in our students.

Technology is moving our society ahead rapidly, and it is vital that Holy Child Academy not only keeps pace but also steps to the forefront. Our students must learn skills that will help them thrive in their future educational endeavors, as well as their professional lives. We are committed to making that a reality. By devising a plan and implementing its components, we will remain an educational beacon for this region.

Thank you for being part of our 21st-century journey. We are dedicated to creating a vibrant future for HCA and to preparing our students to be leaders. As we move forward, you can be certain that our goal remains maintaining Holy Child Academy the premier educational destination in the area. Your continued support of that mission is greatly appreciated.

Our motto is “Actions, not Words,” and we take that seriously.

The best is truly yet to come.

STEAM-Powered Students

Cutting-edge Innovation Lab engages students ages four to fourteen in science, technology,

engineering, arts and mathematics.

BY KAREN RUEDA

www.holychildacademy.com 5|

That’s the question Holy Child Academy students answered using digital comic strips for their first project in the school’s brand new Innovation Lab dedicated to STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics). The exercise not only introduced the lab’s nuts and bolts, it also set the tone for the kind of learning that will take place there. Learning that knows no fear.

Filled with energy and excitement that’s audible from the halls, not to mention some pretty cool technologies and manipulatives—like iPad-powered robots, K’Nex, a 3D printer, and a stop-motion studio—useful for all kinds of projects and investigations, Holy Child Academy’s Innovation Lab is one of a kind in Delaware County.

While many high schools, and even some middle schools, have been incorporating STEAM into their approaches for about a decade now, it’s still rare to find labs like Holy Child Academy’s, where four-year-olds engage in STEAM activities on a weekly basis.

In the lab, students work in groups of two to three at their own pace on

units such as robotics, mechanics and structures, alternative and renewable energy, digital communications, and software engineering. If students want to dive deeper into a topic or a technology, they can.

The strategy behind the STEAMRecognizing that today’s students likely will land in careers not even imagined today, Holy Child Academy has been accelerating efforts—like the Innovation Lab—that build skills needed for success in the 21st-century workforce: critical thinking, problem-solving, collaboration, communication, project management, and the ability to employ ever-evolving technology.

Despite the STEAM sector’s rapid growth, too few Americans are pursuing careers in STEAM, especially women and people of color, who are traditionally underrepresented in these fields. With a richly diverse co-ed student body, Holy Child Academy finds itself in a unique position to help

fuel and diversify the nation’s future STEAM workforce.

“Research has shown that once students get to high school and college, they’re not choosing STEAM fields because they found the subjects too challenging or too dry in their early years,” explained Margaret Fox-Tully, Holy Child Academy Head of School. “In addition, there’s a perception that you’re either a math and science kid or a humanities kid, but not both.

“We believe we can really debunk those myths if we introduce children to STEAM at the very youngest ages in a creative, self-directed, experiential way. This lab does precisely that.”

What would you do if you knew you could not fail?

“We believe we can really debunk those myths if we introduce children to STEAM at the very youngest ages in a creative, self-directed, experiential way. This lab does precisely that.”

In addition, the Innovation Lab’s emphasis on self-directed exploration and creative problem-solving—guided by a facilitator rather than taught by an instructor—is a natural extension of Holy Child Academy’s Montessori-based early childhood program.

First-in-class solution, top-notch facilitatorDirector of Development and Alumni Relations Rebecca Rimmer Antczak, a parent of three Holy Child Academy students, drove the endeavor from the time the idea of a STEAM lab was first proposed.

“Becky saw the potential of this project, and was probably its biggest champion,” said Fox-Tully, who explained that the initiative was able to move forward quickly with total and enthusiastic support of the school’s board of trustees.

During the program search and fundraising process, Holy Child Academy considered a number of options for developing the Innovation Lab, including building a homegrown lab from the ground up. Ultimately, the school decided that the best use of its resources was to partner with a company with expertise in the field.

“We wanted to find a first-in-class resource to support this effort,” Fox-Tully noted.

Creative Learning Systems’ solution offered a number of advantages that

led to its selection for Holy Child Academy’s Innovation Lab, including the potential to be up and running for the beginning of the 2017-18 school year. The lab’s web-based learning modules are regularly refreshed with new and up-to-date offerings, keeping the school on the cutting edge without investing staff time. The curriculum, though student-driven, is structured so that students experience multiple technologies and units over the course of the year. And of all of the options that the school considered, Creative Learning Systems’ approach has the most to offer young children—a critical audience at Holy Child Academy.

The school has access to Creative Learning Systems’ entire curriculum, which extends through high school, and Holy Child Academy has already purchased Arduino manipulative kits to support advanced work in circuitry.

Instead of earning grades, students journal their progress, conduct a self-assessment at the end of each project, and present to the class. Their efforts are kept in an e-portfolio, which becomes a body of work the students can take with them when applying to high school.

“This lab is a wonderful fit for how kids learn and develop. They’re engaged. They’re challenging themselves,” said Erica Zwilling, the Innovation Lab facilitator and one of the team members who helped the school evaluate options for launching a STEAM lab.

Even the two- and three-year-olds reap the benefits, enjoying STEAM activities with Zwilling in their own classrooms.

Zwilling brings a unique mix of practical experience and theoretical knowledge to her role, including a background in research and in science education, as well as a master’s degree in human development and family studies. Before joining Holy Child Academy’s faculty, Zwilling coordinated the Girls in Science and Technology Program at the American Helicopter Museum and Education Center. She also happens to be the parent of two Holy Child Academy alumnae and four current students.

Zwilling sees the STEAM-career exposure as one of the program’s distinct advantages for children at Holy Child Academy.

“As a parent, I want my children to find careers they love. Hopefully this program sparks those interests.”

Official unveiling of a worthwhile investment“Innovation Lab,” the official name of Holy Child Academy’s STEAM lab, was chosen by a student vote. Local officials were on hand to cut the ribbon at the lab’s dedication ceremony on Oct. 20. The lab’s supporters and well-wishers also were in attendance.

“This lab is a wonderful fit for how kids learn and develop. They’re engaged. They’re challenging themselves.”

Mary Emily Pagano, board trustee from 2010 to 2017 and board chair from 2011 to 2016; Robert and Margaret Warwick; Ethel Sergeant Clark Smith Memorial Fund; and the Connelly Foundation were lead funders for the project.

“The Innovation Lab will empower Holy Child Academy students to navigate this very complicated world that we live in,” Pagano remarked. “I believe we have an obligation to entrust something bigger and better to the next generation. I am happy to be part of this endeavor.”

A number of businesses and foundations otherwise unfamiliar with Holy Child Academy also supported the project financially—a testimony to its innovative value. The lab caught the media’s attention, as well, garnering coverage on CBS3, 6ABC, and NBC10 and in The Philadelphia Inquirer and The Delaware County Daily Times.

But the lab’s most resounding endorsement may have come from the students themselves.

“I like STEAM because it teaches us how to be independent in a fun and scholarly way. I also feel that the STEAM lab is a great environment

for learning new techniques and fundamental information that is used in many jobs in today’s world,” reported seventh-grader Jay Adams.

“My favorite part of STEAM is to integrate technology and engineering,” he continued. “For example, in a current project with a classmate, we built a small car out of a box of pieces and a picture. The lesson learned was how to use gears to make a car faster or slower, and stronger or weaker.

“Overall, I really appreciate the new STEAM lab, and hope it becomes part of the standard curriculum for kids all around the world.”

Early signs of STEAM-powered potentialAfter the lab was installed last June, summer campers took it for a three-week test-drive. Although only six months have passed since the lab’s official launch at the start of the 2017-18 school year, anecdotal evidence suggests it’s already serving its purpose.

Now, when asked about their favorite part of the day, little girls answer “STEAM.” On the ride to school,

siblings compare who gets to go to the Innovation Lab that day. In the midst of a STEAM activity, students who feared they might have broken a lab component remained undaunted, requesting some duct tape to solve the problem instead of crumbling under a perceived failure.

Which brings us back to those digital comic strips. So what would Holy Child Academy’s students do if they couldn’t fail? They would apply to Harvard, perform on Broadway, search for a cure for pediatric cancer, create a computerized bike, parachute from an airplane, play professional tennis, or climb Mt. Everest. In other words, they would dream big for their futures. Creating the digital comic strips was just the first step on the path to building the confidence and resilience that incubates aspirations like these.

Most importantly, with the critical 21st-century skills growing in Holy Child Academy’s Innovation Lab, its STEAM-powered students are ready for whatever challenges the future holds—even in a world of technology and careers yet to be imagined. ■
