The schools are keeping up with advances in technology. Delta Mu , the schools' community service organization, enriches many lives, including play days with needy children and a work weekend with the Salvation Army's Camp Ladore in the Poconos. The Academy was one of four private schools in the Philadelphia area given grants for community service programs, which will become a Delta Mu project. The Senior Project is a pilot course that allows students to take a topic of their own choosing and pursue it for a semester.
Students combine independent research and production with class meetings.
Over the course of the semester, students will write a research paper, organize a portfolio record of all work, produce a project and make a final, public presentation. Community members and alumni play an important role in the course. They have volunteered to review and assess the students' papers, sit as judges on presentation review boards, and offer advice and guidance as mentors. The mission of the Academy of the New Church Girls School is to prepare young New Church girls for a full life of use in this world and the world to come. We believe that on the secondary school level, the surest approach to this preparation is a high quality liberal arts education individualized to the various talents of our students.
