Middle School Summer Enrichment Program-Open to all students
Interested students currently in grades 6-8 will engage in advanced learning through the summer enrichment program. Limited seats are available. Interested students need to commit to the 15 days of the program.
Learning opportunities will develop leadership, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. Students will explore these skills through courses that include Model Supreme Court simulations, real-world problem-solving challenges, and hands-on experiences in science through coding and circuitry. Research projects, guest speakers, field experiences, and culminating activities will further deepen students' understanding and application of these skills. The problem-based and simulation learning components will enhance authentic connections and enrich learning.
Students will be given advanced opportunities to explore leadership, critical thinking, and problem-solving in ONE of the following courses:
Model Supreme Court
Problem-Solving: A Real-World Problem of Practice
Problem-Solving in Science: Coding and Circuitry
