Society of the Holy Child Jesus http://www.shcj.org  Since the Society was founded in 1846, education has always been at the heart of our mission. The educational philosophy of our foundress, Cornelia Connelly, was quite controversial during her lifetime in the 1800s. However, today it is widely accepted and continues to form the foundation of all Holy Child Schools.
A key component of the Holy Child Mission is to respond to the changing needs in our world. So it makes sense that just a year after the 19th Amendment passed, which gave women the right to vote, the sisters founded Rosemont College to educate young women. |

The orchestra gives three programs annually, including a special performance every year in the Great Stairway Hall of the Philadelphia Art Museum. The major objective of the orchestra is to make concerts of classical music available to as wide an audience as possible with a special effort to serve the senior citizen community. In its endeavor to fulfill its mission to the cultural needs of the community, the Lower Merion Symphony remains one of the few musical organizations that gives free concerts. |
The DonauSchule German Language School for Children and Families http://www.donauschule.org 
Registration and Open House: Saturday, September 8th, 9:00amLocation:Lawrence Hall, Rosemont College, Rosemont, PA Established in 1993, the DonauSchule is an independent, not-for-profit school. We offer German language instruction on Saturday mornings during the academic year. The purpose of our program is to develop the beginnings of proficiency or to build upon prior language exposure. Language is presented within cultural settings: German-speaking lands as compared with the cultures the student knows. Learning appropriate materials and methods characterize our approach to language. Grundstufe and Mittelstufe classes have a formal textbook program and assignments are encouraged. Themes and projects enrich the year. Humor, adventure, song and movement whenever possible within stories, enrich and activate the language. Assessments are integrated in all classes informally; AATG and ZDP as appropriate. |
