SCHOLARS PROGRAM
The A. J. Gordon Scholars Program seeks a select number of advanced students each year to join their peers recognized for their potential as emerging scholars and leaders, and seeks to advance their personal development in the classroom and beyond. A. J. Gordon Scholars represent diverse academic interests and goals, and a wide-range of personal interests, talents and curiosities, seeking to advance their knowledge and influence as student colleagues and educated citizens.
PROGRAM HIGHLIGHT
For us a journey begins by helping students identify who they are and who they can become. We make use of the StrengthsQuest™ assessment tool (Gallup Organization) as a foundation for identifying the strengths and affinities these students arrive with, and use them to begin the conversation of how to proceed with their academic, leadership, and life's journey. The StrengthsQuest™ program materials are used both for curricular academic development as well as co-curricular development of identified talents and giftedness. We believe that within the set of gifts, strengths, affinities, and curiousities of each student are the clues to their unique calling and vocation and a life of faithful response before God.
