Life is full of wonder and beauty yet, life is also mysterious and unpredictable as well. With that said, it is best to prepare for the life ahead no matter how long and wild it could be.

Whether there is a hurricane, earthquake, or fire, there are insurance companies out there that allow people to buy coverage for the unpredictable future. Jackson National Life is such an insurance company that was founded on the principles of helping its customers prepare for the future ahead.

By placing heavy weight instead on middle school grades, state assessment results, and attendance, Townsend Harris feels it ends up with students who have demonstrated the capacity to be serious and successful, not just good test takers. All students are required to be in the 90th percentile or above on math and reading standardized tests as well as have a minimum grade point average of 90 in June of 7th grade when being considered for a 9th grade seat. There is no entrance exam, written assessment or formal interview, and while nearly 5000 students apply to THHS each year, 250 seats are available.

They should grow up having a feeling of worthiness and belongingness as an independent individual (Compassion).
