Essay Questions Please respond thoughtfully to each essay question, numbering your responses 1 - 5. "A family of learners" is a running theme at Morgan Park Academy. When a student enrolls at the Academy, that child's family becomes part of the Academy family and enters an educational partnership. We foster a mutual exchange of ideas, experiences, talents, and learning. As such, it is crucial to gain in-depth insight of your child. We believe each child is unique and has individual abilities and stages of development, as well as specific personalities, learning styles, temperaments, and experiences. Please help us better understand your child by painting a picture of your child in words, specifically:

	Essay Question 1: What are your child's strengths (academic, social, and emotional)?*
