SUMMER PROGRAMS

The EDGE
Summer Enrichment Program

Give your 7th or 8th grade student an EDGE on resume building, high school applications, personal statements, entrance exams, and interviews in this innovative and supportive two-week summer program.

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 copy will be provided for the child.

The LINK
High School Preparatory Program

Give your “rising” freshman the necessary transitional LINK to the rigorous academic and personal demands of a college preparatory high school by enrolling him/her in this innovative, personalized two-week summer program.

Designed by English, Mathematics, and Guidance professionals, the Link program focuses upon the academic and personal skills that will empower and support the high school freshman. Key areas to be addressed will include Mathematics, English, and study/organizational skills.

A variety of formats will be employed so that each student will have optimum personal contact and individualized attention throughout the program. A “learning style” assessment will be conducted and interpreted on a 1:1 basis with each participant and will be accompanied by a written analysis and specific, targeted strategies to maximize the student’s effort and to build upon his/her strengths.
