Welcoming Future Chapelle Chips to Future Scholars Night🌟💚
On October 1st, Archbishop Chapelle High School welcomed prospective families to our campus for Future Scholars Night, an exciting evening designed for 5th, 6th, and 7th grade girls and their families. This special event gave families a chance to explore Chapelle’s academic programs, experience hands-on learning, and discover what makes our school such a unique and inspiring place for young women.
A Warm Welcome to Future Chips
The evening kicked off with a warm welcome from our Associate Head of School, who set the tone for an insightful and fun-filled night. Families then split into groups, with parents and their daughters participating in tailored activities to help them get a taste of the Chapelle experience.
Hands-On Activities for Future Scholars
While parents met with Chapelle teachers to learn more about our academic programs, the students got to dive into hands-on learning experiences. Some of the exciting stations included:
- Future Focus: Students explored their future at Chapelle by creating vision boards and learning about college prep opportunities.
- STEM: A highlight of the evening, students worked on robotics, experimented with 3D printing in the ARC, and conducted fun science experiments.
- Tech and Media: Guests got a behind-the-scenes look at Chapelle’s technology and media program, showcasing how creativity meets innovation.
- Experiential Learning: Students learned about Chapelle’s exciting electives and field trips that take learning outside the classroom and into the real world.
These stations gave Future Chips the opportunity to experience the vibrant and diverse learning opportunities that await them at Chapelle!
Informative Sessions for Parents
While the students were busy exploring, parents had the chance to hear directly from Chapelle teachers about the curriculum, programs, and resources that make our school a leader in Catholic education. Families also received handouts with valuable information about scholarships and course studies, helping them envision their daughter’s future as a Chapelle student.
A Night to Remember
Future Scholars Night was an overwhelming success, giving prospective families a firsthand look at the supportive, faith-filled, and academically enriching environment that Chapelle offers. We loved seeing so many bright, curious young women and their families on campus, and we hope they left feeling excited about the possibilities of becoming part of the Chapelle family!
To all of our Future Chips: Thank you for joining us, and we can’t wait to see you again soon! 💚
