ENGLISH – For Students Entering 6th, 7th, and 8th Grades

For Students Entering 6th, 7th, and 8th Grades
(Students will be taught in grade-specific classes)

This program will reinforce reading and writing skills acquired in the previous grade and prepare students for the increased complexity of the texts they will read at the next level. Each student will have the opportunity to improve writing skills through drafting and revision. Small group discussions, immediate teacher feedback, and leveled reading assignments will build each student’s confidence and ability to succeed in upcoming English classes.

The Middle School Summer Warm-Up Courses will begin on Monday, August 11 and run through Tuesday, August 19. We are excited to offer these courses on campus; there will be no virtual or hybrid option. Below, please find important information to help you prepare for the program:
