Academic ProgramChallenge Yourself. Take Learning Risks. Reach Your Potential.Archmere’s rigorous college preparatory program offers a variety of core and elective courses in the arts, humanities, mathematics, sciences and technology. The academic disciplines foster critical thinking skills, strengthen analytical reasoning and foster intellectual creativity in all departments: English; Math; Physical and Life Sciences; History; Foreign Languages; Computer Science; Religion; Art; Music; and Special Programs including Driver Education, Health, Physical Education, and Yearbook. Archmere offers A.P. course work in 19 areas.

Committed, Caring Teachers Archmere’s greatest asset is its committed faculty, an experienced and talented group of women and men dedicated to academic excellence. In the classroom, faculty members focus on a rigorous college-prep curriculum dedicated to developing critical thinking skills, intellectual questioning and academic discipline. The faculty engage students on a personal level in a small classroom setting, and teachers help guide the students to become organized, self-motivated, and ultimately, independent learners. Teachers are accessible throughout the school day, before school, during school free periods and after school until 4:30 p.m.

Archmere faculty members are also actively engaged in the students’ lives outside the classroom. Teachers serve as academic advisors, mentors, activity moderators and athletic coaches, helping students to extend their values beyond the classroom.

Technology, Resources, and Facilities Support LearningArchmere’s technology facilities and curriculum engage students at all levels. The 1:1 laptop program provides each student with a MacBook Pro laptop, as well as a back-up drive. A school-wide network connects campus buildings and resources to each other and to the Internet, and the entire Archmere campus is wireless. Teachers use a hands-on approach in the integration of computers and academics, incorporating technology throughout the curriculum from graphic design in art class to electronic research.

Students have access to multiple resources to support their learning, including: a Library; Foreign Language Labs; The Tech Center; The Writing Center; The Multimedia Center; and The Justin E. Diny Science Center.

Dedicated solely to the physical and life sciences, the Science Center contains six classroom/laboratory facilities, a state-of-the-art two-story physics lab, and a greenhouse. Student laptops supplement classroom work through computer assisted labs, dissections, simulations and tutorials via a wireless network, and many teachers are using electronic textbooks.

Athletics, the Arts, and ActivitiesOpportunities for All StudentsArchmere encourages the well-rounded student, !rmly believing that students who develop a wide range of experiences and skills will !nd the greatest success. Because of its small size, Archmere students are able to balance their academic schedules with options to play sports and participate in the arts, as well as become active members in a number of clubs or activities depending on their interests.

AthleticsAlthough student involvement in athletics is voluntary, approximately 85% of the student body competes in interscholastic sports. Our dedicated athletic staff views coaching as a professional commitment and the Archmere athletic experience as an extension of classroom learning. In recent years, Archmere’s athletic facilities include two Sprinturf !elds; a renovated gym and !eld house; redesigned baseball, softball and soccer !elds; and a !tness center that surpasses most secondary schools.

Performing ArtsMusical performing groups exist for all levels of experience, including, stage band, lab band, concert band, chorus, annual dramatic and musical productions, and Archmere Mastersingers (by audition). Archmere has a beautiful Performing Arts Center consisting of a 750 seat auditorium, a band room, and choral room, with multiple practice rooms.

Fine ArtsArchmere’s Manor building is entirely dedicated to the visual arts; our facilities and curriculum rival many university art programs. The Manor has three "oors of studio space, including: painting and drawing studios; ceramic and pottery studios; a dark room photography lab; and three computer studios which address the technological aspect of the visual arts, with digital design and computer graphics as an integral part of the program.

ActivitiesArchmere students are involved in all phases of school life. We offer an extensive selection of extracurricular programs and activities which foster personal growth, leadership skills and fair play. Nearly 95% of our students participate in at least one club or activity., from Community Service to Math League, Model UN, Chess Club, Drama, Student Government, Yearbook, Honor Societies, and many more.

become lifelong friends and

the teachers who truly cared

about their students made

my experience a positive one.

-2012 Alumni Engagement Survey

Archmere’s Philosophy “Inspiring Students to Distinction.”Known for its elite academic program that prepares students since it opened its doors in 1932, Archmere inspires students to challenge themselves, take learning risks, and reach their greatest potential. Dedicated faculty whose commitment to student learning and providing personalized attention for students creates an authentic student-teacher connection based on trust, respect, and a shared pursuit of achievement.

A unique college campus like setting and schedule entrusts students with the responsibility to manage their calendars, homework, projects, and commitments to activities beyond academics, fostering the independence and con!dence they will need in college. Founded by the Norbertine Fathers, Archmere embraces this tradition of friendship, warmth, and emphasis on community. Students are inspired to achieve by the relationships they form with their teachers, friends, administrators and staff. It is through these connections that our students !nd the support, guidance, motivation, and knowledge they need to reach their highest achievement and !nd true, personal distinction.

Who is Saint Norbert?

A Place that Never Leaves YouKnown for his hospitality and his life of service to others, Saint Norbert inspires school communities that are welcoming and warm, giving people “a sense of place” and belonging. Archmere embraces this tradition whole-heartedly, recognizing that what inspires students most to achieve are the relationships they form while they are here. Many alumni describe Archmere as, “a place that never leaves you,” or “a place you take with you wherever you go in life.”

A Catholic Community of FaithAs a community of faith Archmere celebrates its Catholic heritage and the Norbertine charism, united by the importance placed on community, respect, zeal, reverence and wisdom. Saint Norbert dedicated his life to the community and his Catholic faith, as demonstrated by his countless good works and love of prayer. In the spirit of our faith we pass on Saint Norbert’s teachings of service to the community; respect for all; zeal for learning; reverence and prayer as a source of strength and support; and wisdom through individual growth.

Passion for LearningSaint Norbert dedicated his life to instilling passion for learning by founding the Norbertine Order which established school communities in the United States beginning in 1898. In the summer of 1932, the Norbertine Order founded Archmere Academy.

“At Archmere, I found a place to excel - a school that challenged me

academically, as well as broadened my artistic talent and interests, and

brought me a close knit group of friends who I consider family.”
