The Nick Sumbles Blog
Hi. My name is Nick Sumbles. I am 16 years old and attend Episcopal Collegiate. I may not be a Realtor but I am certainly a member of The Sumbles Team.
If you are interested in putting your child in a private school, then I recommend the Little Rock Episcopal Collegiate School. I began to attend the school this year and have enjoyed every minute of it. The school has a special community in which being made fun of simply does not exist. The staff treats the students equally and tries their best to help each student achieve their goal to success.
The most enjoyable aspect that the school has to offer, is the amazing academic programs. They have over 30 AP classes and over 50 extra Curiccular activities. Each student even has the right to create their own club, held on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I am creating a programming club for the technology group in the school next year.
I also enjoy the brilliant way they remind the student of homework and notifies the student about his/her grade fast and efficiently. When you join the school, they give you username and a password to a website called powerschool.com. There, you can see every single grade, tardy, and special events in one private student folder. It is easy to acess and guide around. Instead of having to wait impatiently for a test grade, you can simply check powerschool. It is updated at least 2 times a week.
The school is an Episcopal college preparatory school for boys and girls in grades 6 through 12. Their strong college prep courses, nationally recognized teachers, community service, extracurricular activities, honor system, plus parent support and involvement are key elements of the Episcopal academic experience, which aims to educate the whole student "mind, body and spirit," a hallmark of an Episcopal education.
To their prospective families, their academic excellence is emphasized primarily through core courses of science, mathematics, social studies, and English. In addition to that core program, Episcopal offers studies in foreign languages, health and physical education, religion, technology, and visual and performing arts. Electives, honors, and Advanced Placement classes (AP) are available in many subject areas. Extracurricular activities such as student organizations and special events, as well as a multidimensional athletic program and chapel contribute to the social and spiritual development of the Episcopal student.
The Admission section provides a wealth of information for your review and consideration. However, nothing can replace an actual visit to the beautiful 31-acre Jackson T. Stephens Campus, which houses the Middle and Upper schools, a multi-use student complex, and athletic fields. Their facilities, located just two miles west from the heart of thriving downtown Little Rock, provide students with a state-of-the-art learning environment complete with technology, amenities, and equipment.
To parents of current students, Their website keeps you aware of the recent school news and activities so you may stay informed. I encourage you to visit often to stay abreast of the latest information about the school. The Parent section not only offers a variety of means to show your support of the School, but provides an opportunity to communicate and build rapport with other Episcopal families in a password protected manner.
Should you have questions, or desire information about admission, please call 501-372-1194 or email ahoneywell@episcopalcollegiate.org.
