The Start of the "Serious Acceptances" Wednesday Blog

Today is March 7, 2012.  Within 3 days, the SSAT group will hear where they have gotten into and where they have been refused entry.

March is the also the month for a few heavyweights such as MIT and UPenn and a few others...

This is when we exhale and inhale deeply with fingers crossed!

TEXAS INSTRUMENTS MATHS CONFERENCE - ILLINOIS, March 2-3, 2012

We welcome back Mr. Francis our Math Teacher from chilly Illinois where he recently did a scintillating upgrade for all our Math teachers on the cutting edge approach to teaching Mathematics to our SAT, SSAT, GRE and GMAT students.

UTECH Department of Built Environment

It was a pleasure to be the Guest Speaker at UTech's Career Options Talk yesterday. My words of advice fell on very sharp ears!  I am glad a few were convinced to seek a tertiary education instead of "falling by the wayside".  I do hope more look at Urban design and Landscape Architecture... Jamaica needs more parks, museums, and big libraries to make the urban zones more citified!

Road Trips

Ms. Ricketts sojourned to York Castle recently and had a blast, I believe she has Portland High, Alpha, Wolmer's Boys' coming up.  Let us not undermine our Mandeville Office who have seen Maggotty High, May Pen High and a few other schools.

Washington Academy, Maine

We were happy to host the Head of School and his able-bodied Assistant Mrs. Gautier this past weekend.  The turn out was delightful and they took back 4 applications with them.  They showed off our past students on their video screen and recently admitted three of ours in January 2012 with quite decent financial aid.  We salute the Montego Bay office for having such an overwhelming number of parents and students.  We must add that the Kingston soiree did not do so badly either ...To our SSAT kids, hope you survived that exam on March 3, 2012.

To Our Mandeville Manager

We wish her a few days of rest as she takes her days off...and do get some rest, Ms. Davis!  Bon Voyage....
