Upper Room Christian School Has a Very Diverse Population and We All Learn How to Accept Each Other and Get Along!

Yesterday our 4th and 5th Graders Learned About The Different Nationalities and Colored Them in Art Class . We Talked About How Jesus Died For Each And Everyone One Of Us and Loves Us All The Same !

One of the things that sets our school apart is that we have a multi-racial, multi-cultural and multi-national population with international students from China, Korea, Jamaica, Nigeria and Germany as well as our diverse Long Island population. They all learn that we are all one in Christ!

International Students

This is a featured video done by FIOS Channel 1 anchor man Mike Stevens about the robust International Student program at Upper Room Christian School. In it he interviews several students from China, Korea and Europe as well as the Principal and Head Master of the school.

As an I-20 approved school Upper Room attracts students from all over the world making it a truly multi-cultural environment for students to learn in. We have a strong ESL class and provide educational trips to immerse the overseas students in the American culture and way of life.

The combination of I-20 students and local students create a global atmosphere for students to share their ideas and cultures enriching the learning environment and modeling our global economy. It's wonderful to go into the lunch room and see students from all over the world talking, laughing and making lifetime connections!

Grace and Peace,
Ed

Honor Roll

We gave out our quarterly Honor Roll certificates Friday. Here is a picture of Emmanuel Gomez. "Manny" is an I-20 student from The Dominican Republic. He has been with us for three years now. Even with the difficulty of having to learn a new language our international students compete and study for the same goals as our local students. Over 60% of our middle and high school students made the Honor Roll for the past quarter and we are very proud of all of them for that great achievement.

Honor Roll starts with a total average of  88%, we then have "High Honors" at 92% and finally "Highest Honors" at 97%. High school students are also enrolled in the "National Honor Society" for having at least 3 quarters on the honor roll at any level. This gives students a goal to aim for and rewards them for achieving it.

Grace and Peace,
Ed
