Camden Catholic High School in Cherry Hill, South Jersey’s oldest Catholic co-educational college preparatory school, and alma mater to many Merchantville residents, will open its doors to a boarding program for the 2011-2012 school year. The students will be living on campus at the Nazareth House, the building that once housed the Sisters who taught at Camden Catholic, seminarians, and eventually was host for the school retreats.
Twenty five new international students from China, Korea, Vietnam, Brazil, and India will be joining our student population, providing them with an opportunity to learn and grow with Camden Catholic’s already diverse student population. Of those eighteen will live at Nazareth House. Students will be given a full schedule of classes with the same obligations and requirements as the other students, including fulfillment of the “Learning to Serve, Serving to Learn” program. The school will integrate cross-culture education by offering newer, more varied courses for all students.
Ms. Lisa Borreggine, English teacher and ESL teacher, is heading up the organization of the new students, including oversight of the preparation of the Nazareth House, the selection process for prospective students, the hiring of four resident assistants, and the execution of the program as a whole. There will be a ribbon cutting ceremony held on the campus of Camden Catholic on September 8, 2011, at 12 p.m. For more information, contact: Marc Vallone, Camden Catholic High School at 856-663-2247 ext. 54 or mvallone@camdencatholic.org
