Soundview Preparatory School is a coed private preparatory school that serves grades 6-12. It is located in Yorktown Heights, NY. It was founded in March 1989 by its Headmaster W. Glyn Hearn after a group of families came forward seeking an alternative school. It moved from its original location at St. John's Church in Pleasantville to the Union Church of Pocantico Hills, and then to an office building in Mount Kisco, New York, and finally moved its current location because the school grew in size. The school is based on the philosophy that students will grow academically and socially by learning in a non competitive environment. ==Extracurricular activities== Soundview has many clubs, each one hosted by a teacher, where students can meet others who share an immediate interest. Some clubs are the Drama Club, the Ski Club, the Food & Fine Dining Club, the Politics Club, the Chess Club, and the Yearbook Club. Usually, the clubs meet once a week. Soundview's athletes are the Soundview Bulldogs, and sports played throughout the year include soccer, basketball, and Ultimate Frisbee. To foster a sense of community and school spirit, all students are encouraged to attend at least some games. In past years, the school has had an annual trip to a foreign country, and students have been able to visit Italy, Greece, China, Russia, and Argentina. The school is planning a high-school trip to London this year. Another way that Soundview helps its students feel a sense of community is by requiring six weeks of community service. Soundview also has an mock trial team that started up in 2010. 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「Soundview Preparatory School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
