Four Seniors Named AP Scholars Four of our seniors recently received AP Scholar recognition from the College Board for their great work on AP exams last spring. Congrats to Seung Hyung Lee, JohnDerek Daniels, Hankyu Lee and Dong Whui Kim! The College Board's

Advanced Placement Program (AP®) provides willing and academically prepared students with the opportunity to take rigorous college-level courses while still in high school, and to earn college credit, advanced placement or both for successful performance on AP exams. You can read more about the awards here.

Golf Classic Our 13th annual CFS Golf Classic on Friday, September 26 at the Coatesville Country Club was a huge success! We are indebted to our sponsors for their support. Proceeds from the event will go a long way toward supporting the school and its mission! View our photos on

Service to Community Community service has always been a cornerstone of the CFS experience. On Labor Day, new students were inducted into this longstanding CFS tradition by helping clear invasive plants at Exton Park. Later in the month, on Sept. 20, more than 25 students came back to Exton

Park for "Make a Difference Day," an annual partnership between West Whiteland Township, Weston Solutions and CFS. See all of the pictures from recent community service outings on our Facebook page!

Learn About Planned Giving

EITC/OSTC Support Companies may make contributions to help deserving CFS students at almost no cost through the Pennsylvania State Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) and Opportunity Scholarship Tax Credit (OSTC) programs. Qualified firms can make a donation to Church Farm School for scholarships of up to $400,000. Made two years in a row, these contributions result in a 90% tax credit; a one-year-gift yields a 75% tax credit. Thanks to Meridian Bank, IMC Construction and Fulton Bank, who all presented EITC checks to Church Farm School in late August/September! Learn more about EITC/OSTC giving here.
