Pennsylvania's economy is powerful and diverse. Former agricultural state, it
experienced an important commercial, industrial and mining development from the
nineteenth century, and has long occupied a preponderant place in the national
economy. Pennsylvania today resides as one of the country's major industrial and
mining states, despite a sharp decline in these activities since the early
1970s; the state's gross annual income per capita is also one of the highest in
the country. Pennsylvania is one of the first national coal producers, thanks
to gigantic deposits of fatty coal and anthracite in Appalaches. The other
mineral resources are oil, natural gas, iron ore, lead and zinc.
Agriculture and especially breeding (cattle, poultry) are very prosperous
sectors, due to the proximity of the large urban markets of the North American
megalopolis - from Washington to Boston. Cereals, mushrooms (the first national
producer), potatoes and fruits are the most significant crops.
The main industrial sectors are heavy metallurgy (mixtures, steel works),
mechanics (machine tools), chemistry, the pharmaceutical industry, glass,
agri-food (dairy products), electronics, textiles (confectionery) and paper
. Pennsylvania remains an important producer of crude steel as well, although
volumes have declined considerably. An important diversification of the industry
- made necessary in particular by an increasing unemployment rate - has been
taking place these last decades.
Located on the great inland waterways and close to the coal and iron ore
deposits, Pittsburgh represents one of the most important steel and glassmaking
sites in the country. The Philadelphia benefits more than a wide range of
industrial productions and has one of the first ports in the United States for
sea freight.
Pennsylvania protects numerous museums - most famously the Philadelphia
Museum outside Art - and important historical sites: the Independence Hall
Philadelphia where the Declaration of Independence and the United States
Constitution were prepared and written; the Carpenter 's Hall, theater of the
first continental Congress in 1774; the Valley Forja Historical Park and the
Gettysburg National Military Park.

Solebury School - New HopeThe Solebury School with currently 235
students was founded in 1925 and is located in the city of New Hope in
Pennsylvania. Above all, creative and independent thinking, as well as the
respect between students and teachers are important to the school.
The main goal of the Solebury School is to make the students enjoy learning.
The school curriculum is very extensive and therefore addresses the different
needs and talents of the young people. In addition to numerous courses, students
can choose between two dozen advanced and AP courses. The teacher / student
ratio is 1: 6 and the average number of classes is 11 students. Students are
known as an individual and not as a face in a lot of students. The teachers can
deal with each individual student well, get enough attention and do not get lost
in the crowd.
Classes take place from 8 a.m. to 3.30 p.m. and in the afternoons all students
are obliged to take part in a sporting activity or other extracurricular
activities such as theater, clubs or the like. This should give the students
free head, develop team spirit and the opportunity to make new friends.
There is a lot to do on the weekends. Whether it's a trip to New Hope, the mall
or a bonfire in the evening, there's always something to do. Students can canoe
or bike ride the Delaware River. The Poncono Mountains are only 1½ hours away
