The Villager Introduces VHS Freshmen take part in the state-wide testing program. In a general sense, education is the development of the nature of man as a whole—the intellectual, physical and social phases through deliberate action with every aspect of his environment. Education signifies the purposeful methods of training and direction used by society to teach its ideals in life that mature along with the individual. It is for these reasons that institutions of learning such as St. Anthony Village High School exist. How are these goals accomplished at VHS? They are achieved by placing particular emphasis on intellectual growth, physical development, and social and emotional adjustment. These facets cannot be separate in the complete educational process. The first of these, intellectual growth, involves stimulating the power of the mind to its fullest capacity. Not only must knowledge lx taken in, but it must be comprehended and utilized. To find out about the j otential of the human mind of each student, Village High uses an extensive testing system. This enables the counseling department to guide every student to select a program which is best suited for him, and allows his teacher to focus attention on his particular needs. Every seventh grade student also engages in a developmental reading program. Together with other students of a similar reading level, he can progress gradually and naturally. To further the individual’s intellectual development, St. Anthony Village High School employs the most modem and up-to-date learning techniques in textbooks and equipment. Thus the student cannot feel restrained or sense undue pressure, though he can be assured of the fact that he is keeping abreast of the technical advances and improvements made in this fast-paced world of today. 2
