Servite High School is an all-male, Roman Catholic college preparatory high school operated by the Order of Friar Servants of Mary (the Servites). Located on a campus in Anaheim, California, USA in the Los Angeles Metropolitan Area, as of 2011 it had an enrollment of about 920 and about 9000 alumni. Its mascot is the Friar and its colors are black and white, trimmed with gold. It is located within the Roman Catholic Diocese of Orange, however, it is not a diocesan school, but is run privately by the Servite Order itself. The focus of Servite is to "Form Faith-Filled Leaders", young men who are well-prepared for leadership and success in college and life. Servite's innovative four-year Formation Program continuously tracks the performance of each student in multiple dimensions (academic, leadership/teamwork, character/spiritual development) to ensure formation of the ''whole person'' in every aspect. The Servite Formation Program is a continuous four-year program that begins in the summer before freshman year with Freshman Formation Weekend and concludes with graduation. In 2007 Servite implemented an ambitious student leadership program by dividing the student body into 8 student-led communities called "Priories" and 48 smaller student-led homeroom communities. Each week a block period is dedicated to student-led leadership activities. The Priories are based on the Seven Holy Founders, and St. Philip Benizi. The school is also known for its rigorous academic curriculum, sports tradition, performing and visual fine arts programs (including courses in classical guitar and jazz band), and school spirit emphasizing unity and brotherhood. The motto ''Credo ut Intelligam'' ("I believe so I may understand") illustrates the emphasis the school places on developing leaders who are faith filled men of God. The academic curriculum has a wide variety of courses, including College Prep (CP), Honors Placement (HP), and Advanced Placement (AP) courses. Servite has two sister schools, Society of the Holy Child Jesus, Anaheim and Rosary High School, Fullerton; both are all-female Catholic institutions. Servite also has exchange programs with Servite schools around the world including Collège Notre-Dame des Servites (Ayer's Cliff, Quebec), Servite College (Perth, Western Australia), Blanche de Castille (Villemomble, France), Marian High School (Omaha, Nebraska), San Pelligrino (Misano, Italy), and Mary Star of the Sea (Zululand, South Africa). The Servites responded to an invitation by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles to open the school in 1957,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=History )〕 teaching the first classes at nearby St. Philip Benizi Elementary School until the first building was completed. The main building was officially dedicated on February 12, 1959. Major expansions since then include a gym and aquatics facilities (in 1967), theater (1977), new classrooms (1984), and new science and library facility (1998). Servite's wrestling room was also a recent addition to the school on the campus' priory lawn (2006). ==Admissions== Admission to Servite is based on leadership potential as demonstrated in academic transcripts, entrance examination, activities, arts and athletics.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Entrance Requirements )〕 The admissions process includes a review of academic transcripts; entrance examination; interview of parents and (separately) the student; letters of recommendation from teachers; participation in activities, community service, arts and/or athletics; and letters of recommendation from alumni or parents. It is expected that only half of those applying for admissions for the Class of 2016 will be accepted for enrollment. Admissions letters for the regular admissions process are generally mailed in March. Servite has an Early Admission Process that enables young men to apply as early as October of their 8th grade year.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Application Process )〕 Upon completion of the admission process and receipt of the first set of grades for their 8th grade year, students may be admitted to Servite as early as November of their 8th grade year. Students who apply for, but are not accepted as part of the Early Admission Process, are automatically deferred to participate in the Regular Admission Process. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Servite High School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
