Moorestown Friends Junior Accepted into Scholars Program

 junior Joseph Kiernan was recently accepted into the New Jersey Scholars Program (NJSP). 

Kiernan, a Haddonfield resident, is one of 39 rising seniors who will be attending the five-week residential program at The Lawrenceville School this summer. This year’s program is entitled Immigration: Demographic Disaster or Cultural Recreator?

The New Jersey Scholars Program provides a dynamic learning environment at the Lawrenceville School where 39 motivated high school students experience the life of the mind as they have never done before. Scholars plunge into an inter-disciplinary college-level five-week summer program, expanding their intellectual abilities by approaching the summer's topic from many different directions. 

Drawing on such disciplines as history, art/architecture, literature, music, and science, the faculty teaches the scholars to approach topics in terms of a complex weaving of many disciplines. 

Faculty members dedicate themselves to helping each scholar achieve the maximum growth in the program. The faculty comes from a wide variety of colleges and universities, as well as from the Lawrenceville School.

Moorestown Friends School is a day school founded by the Religious Society of Friends (also known as Quakers) in 1785. Today the school enrolls 713 students from Preschool through Grade 12. Moorestown Friends School is a community dedicated to the pursuit of educational excellence for a diverse student body within an academically rigorous and balanced program emphasizing personal, ethical and spiritual growth.
