Final Exam Week

Saturday, 12 December 2009 00:53

The week of December 14th through the 18thmarks the last days of our first semester at APA. Middle and high school students will have final exams. In many cases, these exams constitute up to 20% of their semester grade. A balanced schedule was devised to make sure students don’t have too many exams on any one day. We ask parents to encourage extra studying that week. Students should remember that all assignments must be turned in prior December 17th.

Eid-ul-Adha Celebration!

Saturday, 12 December 2009 00:39

On Tuesday, December 1st, Austin Peace Academy students and teachers celebrated EID together by having two special events. The high school and middle school students played paintball while the younger students had a wonderful activity day on the campus. The red team lead in large part by Sr. Diana roundly defeated the blue team captained by Mr. Fareed two games to zero. It was a great day of faculty and student interaction.

The students learned first hand from the paint ball employees how important listening skills are for personal safety. While not all of our students are great listeners they all came home safe and happy. The older students returned to a wonderful cook out sponsored by the Arabic and Islamic studies faculty. In the elementary grades the students had a fun day indoors, out of the rain, playing on inflatable equipment. After a great day of teamwork, the students were ready to get down to serious studies on Wednesday.
