For the 160th year history of Fairmont boarding school, it would be first time to note that the school will have its first African American woman president in the person of Autumn Adkins. The news is wonderful since having the first ever black woman president of the school is really one of a kind.

At first, it was only a dream for Adkins that she wanted to run a boarding school for less fortunate students. But now her dream seems to go nearer to realization – with her becoming the first president of Fairmont boarding school.

She was an assistant principal at a Quaker school prior to her new appointment. In fact, many of her contemporaries are saying that Adkins installation as the first black woman president of Fairmont was really private school’s breakthrough. The Girard College is set to announce Adkins’ installation. In July, the report said, Adkins will arrive at Girard’s 43-acre campus to take charge of said school. The school has only 669 students enrolled from first to 12th grade it was learned. Many of the students came from single parent households and this is also what interests Adkins having dreamt of this kind of school for the less in life.

In fact, the good news about the school is that it provides college preparatory program and this is free career planning program. For the selection process, qualifiers are chosen based on recommendations, interviews, and school records. According to report, Southeastern Pennsylvania has the most number of students who qualify. Just like in a military boarding school, some students also want to benefit from free education programs.

Adkins was the unanimous choice to replace Dominic Cermele because of her interesting experience as a teacher in private schools as well as an administrator. Girard officials decides to replace Cermele because he was retiring from service, it was also learned. Cermele’s decision to retire in June is to coincide with the celebration of the 50th anniversary of Cermele’s graduation in said school.

Despite setbacks in economy in the US, many boarding schools are still finding its way to continue, by means of using strategies and other effective plans.

This is seen currently with the launching of a boarding school for the EduKick international soccer, an alternative boarding school that still offers excitements and unique training for soccer players.

Joey Bilotta, one of the founders of EduKick International Soccer boarding school said it is not normal to see a boarding school having a tuition fee from $40,000 up to $50,000 each year, since parents are already hit by the dwindling economy. The EduKick tuition in Italy, Spain, France, England, France and Mexico only range from $20,000 up to 38,000, which is also much lower than the current prices in other colleges and universities that also offer boarding school education. In the US, a nursing school that offers boarding charges much higher fees.

Evan Tomasello, a 14-year old soccer enthusiast, that look for soccer camps in Italy has finally found EduKick and was impressed with the low tuition fees the school offers to enrollees. Evan’s mother, Karen, said his son has been looking for soccer camps because he want his soccer skills developed until one day he chanced upon the EduKick and never hesitate to enroll.

It was learned that at first Evan’s mother was so skeptical to send her son overseas for schooling considering that he was only 14. However, when she learned about the best deals of Edukick she began to realize that his son will be enrolled in a very safe environment abroad.

He said the school offers a very active and dynamic communication privilege and communicating her kid is really a very interesting experience for the family. She said if she had questions she would simply send email to Mr. Bilotta and a response will be sent immediately. She even felt his son was enrolled in an online degree course because of the very dynamic communication facility the school can offer to students.

The mother was so impressed with the kind of training at EduKick since after a year she immediately noticed a big change in her son’s outlook in life. Now she believes that being into sports is a different thing than those kids that do not love sports.

A young Saudi Arabian student is interested to join a boarding school in the United States after her parents reportedly failed to find a good and reputable school in the Kingdom. It was learned that Teflah Aldosary, 14, an Arabian student lacks the necessary Arabic skills but the country’s policies regarding plans for abroad education of residents from Saudi Arabia are also giving the girl a headache. The Saudi’s policies on Arabians planning to become international students must secure permission from the country’s education ministry by submitting a petition every year until given a go signal on such request.

For Teflah’s case, she was allowed by the Saudi’s Ministry of Education to enrol at an international school in Riyadh for three consecutive years. Unfortunately, for the fourth year the ministry has already declined to accept her petition. For the part of the education ministry it also said it can give permission to anybody but it can also decline if it wanted to.

Teflah is only fortunate her parents can afford to send her to private boarding school in the US to continue her studies. The Arabian-born student has limited Arabic skills because she grew up in the US until her age reach to 10 years old. This happened with her father enrolled at a university in Missouri.

When the family went back to Saudi Arabia, the girl’s parent allowed her to enrol at an international school in the country, more particularly in Riyadh. In her fourth year the ministry of education has already declined to accept her petition, prompting her parent’s decision to send her back to the United States to finish her education. The parent is planning to send her to girl private boarding school in the US. They believe it is safe to send their daughter to a boarding school rather than to a traditional school or any other boarding schools in Asia. Teflah’s mother said they’ll stay with friends who are American family during weekends and back to the boarding school on her daughter’s study days.
