"The CEL program allowed me to not only discover my true passion in life and what I want to pursue in college and beyond, but introduced me to a number of people who want nothing more than to see both me and my business succeed—they are willing to do whatever it takes to help me along the way."

"My advice to other international students would be to not feel panicked when you come to this country. When I first came here, everything was strange to me because I came from an entirely different culture, and it is OK to feel nervous or uncomfortable. Trying new things is my way out of the morass. I was joining clubs, taking on leadership roles such as class president, and being active in the SCH community. These activities gave me the opportunity to make friends, be socially strong and positive, and gain new insights."

"My favorite tradition at SCH is the Senior and Pre-K buddies! I absolutely love the idea of tying our community together by cultivating the relationship between the oldest and youngest members of our student body. The tradition offers a chance for the youngest members of our community to learn from our leaders, and for our leaders to set an example for those of the future. In fact, when I was in Pre-K, I vividly remember looking up to my senior buddy in complete wonder as both a role model and leader of our school."

"Teachers are always willing to help you if you are having issues or problems in or outside of school. When I was out with a concussion for a long time, the school and faculty made it easy for me to get back into everything without having to repeat anything. They were extremely accommodating. I always advise everyone to use the resources and teachers provided because they will help you very much."

"Spring break of my junior year, I went on the Global Travel trip to Cambodia and it was probably one of the most fun and eye-opening trips I’ve been on. I’ve always been a huge fan of traveling, and the fact that SCH gives me the opportunity to do so is absolutely amazing. From exploring and watching the sunrise over the Angkor Wat temples to learning to cook traditional Cambodian meals, the trip was overall a surreal experience that I’ll never forget."

"My transition from being homeschooled to SCH was a lot easier than I thought it would be. I became increasingly nervous as the start of school arrived and started to second guess my decision to go to private school. However, on my first day of preseason for soccer I was immediately greeted by a bunch of friendly people who made me feel at home. These people are now some of my best friends."
