Specials
Summer Art Workshop: Students will learn tips, techniques and hands-on art projects using oil pastels, acrylic paints and three dimensional arts (arts and crafts) in fun and exciting week long classes.
Discovery Science: Allows for exploration of science across many disciplines: biology, genetics, geology, and chemistry. Students will understand and apply the scientific method as they explore the world around us. Designed to challenge and inspire, students are sure to discover something new!
Drama: This course will introduce students to the fundamentals of theatre. Students will learn different acting techniques, stage presence, and collaborative performance.
Coding: These lessons will help students understand the basic skills needed to create websites and mobile applications. Students will also learn the fundamentals of how code works, including an introduction to Java and Python. They will build a strong foundation in programming and technology.

Mathematics
Math Skills (6th - 7th Grade): Designed to teach students critical fundamental algebra skills. Some of the topics include simplifying expressions , real numbers, solving equations inequalities and graphing linear equations.
Pre-Algebra (Middle/Upper School): This course emphasizes the study of integers, order of operations, variables, expressions and equations. Students will solve and graph equations, inequalities, proportions, and explore geometric and statistical concepts.
Algebra (Middle/Upper School): This course covers many topics typically found in a first-year algebra course. We will start with basic algebraic properties, learn how to evaluate expressions, and solve two-step equations before moving onto multi-step equations and inequalities. If time permits, we will move to functions and linear equations. This course is a good fit for students who will be taking Algebra next year and want to get a head start, or those who just finished Algebra and want to keep the concepts fresh over the summer!

English
Reading & Writing: Reading & Writing are for students who want to enhance their reading comprehension skills through analysis of a variety of films and texts. They then will hone their writing skills and effectively convey their insightful ideas through writing coherent and cogent papers. Reading out loud (independent and/or group) and participation in class discussions are integral components of this course. Moreover, students will utilize the essential components of the writing process, which are to plan, draft, and revise their written work. Further, students will actively participate in student writing workshops and provide one another with insight.
Creative Writing and Journalism: Creative Writing and Journalism are for students who want to enhance their writing skills through compositional activities, which include poetry, reflective writing, and prose fiction and non-fiction. Moreover, students will learn techniques for gathering, processing, and delivering news. Students will then utilize the essential components of the writing process, which are to plan, draft, and revise their written work. Further, students will actively participate in student writing workshops and provide one another with insight.
