SLA Interview Weekend

Posted by Jeremy Spry on
​We look forward to meeting everyone for SLA's interview weekend. As a reminder perspective students must have signed up in advanced for an interview. All interviews are conducted at SLA Center City  at 55 N 22nd St, Philadelphia, PA 19103. Remember your child must bring a project from 7th or 8th grade that they feel is a representation of their best work. Please be aware, if your child does not attend at their allotted time, we cannot reschedule interviews due to high demand. SLA does not have a parking lot, we recommend using public transportation whenever and wherever possible. 
There are pay lots and meters available near SLA but spaces are limited.

To the parents of students interviewing this weekend,

As of now, there is a forecast of snow for Saturday. We are going to make every attempt to have interviews on Saturday, and we will follow School District decisions about activities that weekend. If interviews have to be rescheduled, we will post the information as soon as we have it on scienceleadership.org and we will send out a mass email similar to this. Please be aware that this is our final weekend of interviews, so if interviews are held and a child does not attend, we will not be able to reschedule.

Reminder: All interviews are at the Center City Campus.

Thank you,
Science Leadership Academy

Michael Dell to Visit SLA

Posted by Jeremy Spry in Independent Study Period - Spry on
Michael Dell will be touring SLA and speaking to the 11th and 12th grade on Thursday, April 25th at 1:30 at SLA. We ask that all SLA students dress professionally and wear their lab coats. Michael Dell is the founder of Dell Computers, and he is being honored with an award at The Franklin Institute Thursday night. 

This is an incredible honor for SLA, and it continues the wonderful partnership between SLA and TFI that has brought speakers such as Dr. Stephen Squyres and Bill Gates to the school. 

-- Mr. Lehmann
