We are very proud of our children’s achievements. SAT's tests do not measure the uniqueness and individual talents of our young people. The people who created these tests do not know each of our children the way that you as their family, or we at Priory do.
They do not know that some of our children speak two languages or that they love to sing or draw. They have not seen the natural talents for dancing or playing a musical instrument. They do not know that your child’s friends can count on them to be there for them, that their laughter can brighten the darkest day or that their face turns red when they feel shy. They do not know that they participate in sports, wonder about the future, or sometimes help their little brother or sister after school. They do not know that our children are kind, trustworthy and thoughtful and that every day they try to their very best.
The results from this year’s assessments will tell you something, but they will not tell you everything. There are many ways of being smart. Our children are smart, amazing and awesome too.
At Priory we are extremely proud of all our children and believe that:
“Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.” Aristotle
