| A Welcome from Karl Welsh, Head of School | |
Welcome to Oak Lane! We are proud of our school programming that is designed to meet the needs of each individual student. During your visit here, we invite you to see why our School is in a unique position to make a lasting impact on our students and families in the 21st century. We are looking forward to our up-coming eight-week, fun-filled summer camp program here on our Blue Bell campus, and also to this coming September when we’ll be greeting new and returning students for another great year ahead. Always popular is our Winterlude program, the time between Thanksgiving and Winter Break, where a school-wide theme is investigated and studied. This year we will return to one of our favorites, Philadelphia, and the teachers are already beginning to make preparations. Our focus on teaching reading, writing, math, social studies, and the fine arts and sciences act to engage the whole child, and are coordinated as children move from grade to grade. Besides the importance we place on academic activities, we sponsor special events throughout the year such as the Woodland Walk in the fall and Spring Family Fun Day that involve students, families and alumni. The 4th/5th graders will be doing their Dance Residency, and our Community Service Program will be strong as usual. We want you to know that we will be present on this campus for only one more school year, 2009-2010, but are currently researching several new potential sites in the Philadelphia area for the following year, 2010-2011. More information will be made available to you as the summer unfolds. We have much to look forward to! If you would like to learn more, we encourage you to check out the Admission pages and any other areas that interest you. Sincerely, Karl |

"Celebrate Books Week" featured The Secret Seder, written by Doreen Rappaport, illustrated by Emily McCully, and published by Hyperion Books for Children in New York, 2005. It is the story of a young boy who would grow up to become a beloved art teacher, our own Mr. Mednick! Story as found from the "THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER" - 11/17/08 |
