2012 Annual Report

Happy Holidays from all of us at Perspectives!  This is a time of the year when love is most expressed and gifts are shared with enthusiasm and excitement. It is especially wonderful as we spend time with our families and friends.

 

In the spirit of giving, we present the 2012 annual report. Be inspired by Perspectives teachers, students, parents, and our supporters. Recurring themes of hope, perseverance, generosity, and achievement permeate this year's report. Perspectives could not have cultivated the A Disciplined Life education model without your generous support. Thanks to you 99% of our graduates last year were accepted to college, earning more than $10 million in scholarships without your generous support. Please continue to support our students by making a donation today.

DEBATE TEAM
Students wax eloquent

Being an excellent wordsmith on paper is hard enough (and a necessary skill in today's global economy). Being able to think critically and logically while simultaneously articulating your thoughts into carefully crafted speech is an even greater challenge. For the Perspectives Debate Team, however, this is what they do every day. They are living A Disciplined Life, taking the Chicago Debate League by storm and claiming top prizes.

Chloe Glispie's Remarks

"Because Perspectives demanded greatness from me, I learned how to demand greatness from myself, and anything less than that, is unacceptable. I don't have to worry about whether I live up to the standards of my university because I am already striving to live up to the standards of A Disciplined Life®." Read the full transcript of Chloe's remarks.
