Because children learn in dif- ferent ways as they grow, the school structures programs geared to their needs at particular stages. With a student-teacher ratio of 7:1, and an average class size of 12 students, teachers are able to tailor their teaching meth- ods to fit a particular student's learning style and developmental needs. More than 380 students are enrolled in the Lower School from throughout northeastern Penn- sylvania, including the Berwick, Tunkhannock, Honesdale and Hazleton areas. For students within a 10-mile radius, trans- portation is provided by their lo- cal public school district; Wyo- , ming Seminary also provides ‘transportation from Moosic, Scranton and the Abingtons. Parents and students are in- vited to visit the Lower School at their convenience to meet teach- ers, attend classes, and learn more about the school’s programs.

This time of the year we get many questions regarding schol- arships and scholarship services. . We will be writing on this topic at length over the next month.
