Krav Maga: New Self-Defense Course at APH
At Penguin Hall, students have the experience of pushing themselves past their perceived limitations. They learn that what they thought was a limit does not apply to them.

A Murderous Meal: Biology Students Experiment with Sugars, Protein and Lipids
In their Biology class, APH students receive a strong grasp of the biological concepts and the major themes that can be applied to life sciences. Students gain an understanding as to how interdependent these things are to life on Earth. In this case, Ms. Lilly presented a faux murder case (with it being almost Halloween!) to showcase biological reactions. Students were tasked with trying to decipher where the victim was killed and who killed him by analyzing the contents within his stomach.
APH Welcomes Great Friends to campus!
Penguin Hall was honored to welcome the great friends of our students on Thursday, October 21 and Friday, October 22. It was an event that did more than just welcome visitors, it broadened the APH family. Great Friends’ Day allowed family members and friends to catch a glimpse into the academic world of their students.
APH Student Helps Make Wishes Come True
“Lifting others up lifts me up.” For APH Senior Christina Autilio ‘22, community service is not just a hobby or a box to check off on her high school resume. It’s an opportunity to lift others up and make a wish come true.
