The Miquon School

"As a graduate of the class of 2017(2010 - 2017), I'll give my two cents here. Miquon was the foundation of the many things I am doing now. It started lasting friendships, was the basic outdoor training grounds for parkour, a place for a sprint in the woods, and helped me get into technology, pc gaming, politics, and more. But there was a part of it that also put me where I am. I missed out on cursive writing, could never really pull dash vaults without getting into trouble, and created a gap in my knowledge of things like math, due to spending a month on one subject like Least Common Denominators and more, rather than spending a week on each section and getting it into our heads in my new school. I never got into a school of my choice when taking the test that schools would look at to determine if I can become a potential student to potential graduate of the schools, leading me to run a second round of school visits. Time was, in my eyes currently, not used to the fullest, spending 4 - 5 months on one topic, like stocks/money or sacred places. I was very clearly showing that I would work better with different teachers near the end, but that never came to reality. I was having a very hard time to get an answer to my own question: "When I grow up, and if I have children, should I send my children to either Miquon or Frankford Friends?" I came to the conclusion that may cost the overall future of my future children, I'd send them to Miquon. Though test taking skills may not be the sharpest, the ability to work quick enough, and the bare minimum of supplies are provided to the children of Miquon, I'd recommend parents to send their children to Miquon. The mix of urban concrete and rural green and the amount of time spent outside, the ability to adapt quickly to something different in surrounding and size, and the projects started by/for these students would be a monumental push through the future of these students. I am now a student at Franford Friends School, a person learning to fly without wings, someone who could go to mystical places without needing to dream by behind a keyboard and mouse under the alias as "Specter", a choirboy with the Keystone State Boychoir who will be travelling around the world, a future DJ, a science, technology, music, and movie enthusiast, and a singer - musician, and all of that started at Miquon. This is my review of my seven years, at Miquon."
