Required student essay

Essay Prompt: Who Inspires You?

Think about someone you truly admire – a person you consider your hero. This doesn't have to be a famous figure; it could be someone in your family, a teacher, a coach, or a friend. In an essay of 150-250 words, tell us:

Who is your hero and why do you look up to them?
How does this person's life, actions, or qualities influence how you approach your high school career?

To help you structure your essay, you might start by introducing your hero and explaining what you admire about them. You could then share a brief story or example that illustrates their admirable traits. Conclude by explaining the specific ways their example guides or motivates you in your studies, activities, or personal growth during high school.

Please draft your essay before completing the online application and attach it here. Applications submitted without a completed essay will not be considered.

Travel information

Arrival / departure schedule:

The program begins with a pizza dinner on Sunday, July 5th at 6:00 PM.
Students may arrive at Warwick House any time between 3:00 PM and 7:00 PM on Sunday.
The program concludes on Saturday, July 11th at 2:00 PM, following lunch and cleanup.

Based on your current plans, how do you expect to travel here?

By car (most common)
We have free parking for parents. We can also provide other parent information so you can carpool.
By plane
PIT airport is 30 minutes away from our location and easily accessible. Program staff can arrange to pick up your son from the airport.

Most airlines consider those at least 15 years old to be adults. No special arrangement with the airline is needed.

If you son is under 15, you will likely need to pay the airline a fee and sign waivers for someone to accompany him.
By bus or train
Amtrak is the only option for train. It is pretty slow coming from NYC or DC, due to the Appalachian mountain range.

Greyhound is the best option for bus, but Greyhound can be spotty.

Please share any special travel plans you are currently aware of. If you expect to arrive late or leave early, please also let us know. We encourage full participation in the program as much as possible, but understand if schedules require otherwise.
