SELF - DEVELOPMENT .SCHOOL WILL LAUNCH EIGHTH SEASON SEPT. 5
The Columbus Self-Deveiopment School, formerly the Agu¬ dath Achim Self-Development School, located In the A. A. Edu¬ cational Institute, 1021 Bryden Rd., will inaugurate its Sth con¬ secutive year, the first under the new banner, Tuesday morning. Sept 5, it was announced this week. Information on the new ad¬ ministrative organization will be forthcoming soon. However, news of the re-openlhg date for the new year, along with some of the plans of the.program was made known now by Mrs. A. R. Schwartz, founder and director since Its Inception.
In keeping with the past his¬ tory of the School, each year's re-opening is always accompan¬ ied by new Ideas, new tech¬ niques, new materials. This Is a characteristic that Is so pro¬ nounced with the type of pri¬ vately-supported and endowed program represented in the Co¬ lumbus Self-D evelopment School. This feature must pre vail In order to maintain the pro¬ gressive and self-development program—small groups, Individ uailzed attention, children -mov¬ ing in their work as they deve¬ lop themselves with directed mo¬ tivation, learning social living- all correlated in a program built around the Jewish child.
News of the new plans are al¬ ready known to the parents who have enrolled their children for the coming semester. This has already made the rounds in our
