Summer Programs

The Edge

Summer Enrichment Program

Designed to give your 7^th or 8^th grade student an EDGE on resume building, high school applications, personal statements, entrance exams, and interviews, this innovative and supportive two-week summer program will be offered July 12-22, 2010.

Professional admissions, guidance, and teaching professionals will guide your child through the maze of the high school application process in small group classrooms and one-on-one experiences.  Mathematics and English teachers will help students prepare for the High School Placement Test (HSPT) by focusing on content areas and test-taking strategies.

Admissions and Guidance experts will work with each student to prepare a personalized resume and personal statement.  Students will learn the components of a successful interview and will be afforded role-playing opportunities which will culminate in a "real" interview with an Admissions director.  This interview will be videotaped and jointly assessed by the student and the professional mentor with positive suggestions for future interviews.  A DVD copy will be provided for the student for review and self-assessment.

Please contact The Office of Institutional Advancement at (215) 357-8810 ext. 115 for more information regarding dates and costs of the Summer 2010 program.
