Summer 2024
As usual, we are offering a few summer classes in July for your students. These include: Elementary Writing Foundations, Creative Writing, and Fun with Grammar for younger and older students.
Elementary Writing Foundations
This class is the prerequisite class for all 5th/6th grade students that want to take a Reading & Writing class in the fall semester, but do not yet have any experience with our writing process and program. This class will span 3 weeks, meeting Monday-Thursday each week, for a total of 12 hours of instruction. Students will learn the writing process and the technology skills needed to take the 5th/6th grade reading and writing class. This class will also serve as a refresher course for any students that need a bit more practice before the next school year begins.
Creative Writing
Do you have a writer on your hands? Do you have a child that cannot help but tell a story? Do you see the need to supply them with tools to develop their story-telling skills? This summer writing camp can help with that!
Fun With Grammar
If your students need some help with grammar skills, this 4-day camp will bring fun and games to the table! In order to help your student learn these concepts, we will teach the grammar rules in an active and enjoyable way. Laughter will lead the way!!
We have a time for younger grades, and a time for older grades. Check out the schedule for the details!
Fall 2024
Our fall class offerings are extensive, so be sure to use the filter to find the classes that are best for your children. We will be offering Writing Foundations at the Elementary, Intermediate, and Advanced levels. In addition, for students who have already completed a Writing Foundations class, we will be offering our favorite: Reading and Writing classes. In these classes, students will continue practicing the writing methods they learned in Writing Foundations as they explore timeless literature.
