It is recommended that students attend for the full 2 weeks however it is possible to attend only 1 week (or combination of weekly sections)
English I
The course is designed for both College Preparatory or Honors level students that are looking for exposure to the topics and rigor of English class at Saint Joseph High School. English I explores a variety of literary forms including novels, short stories, poetry and drama. The English I Summer Institute will incorporate excerpts from different forms and genres of literature to expose students to the types of literature they will experience fully in English I. Throughout the two weeks students will enhance their skills in research methods, effective note taking, advanced grammar and vocabulary, literary analysis and composition. Many of the skills addressed in this course are applicable to other areas of discipline and extend beyond academics to executive functioning and organizational skills. Strong reading, writing and public speaking skills are essential for success not only at Saint Joseph High School but also in higher education and for any career path your son may choose in the future, and it begins with this course!
Mathematics
The Mathematics Summer Institute Course is held over two weeks during the Summer with two hours of practice per day. To accommodate for the varied abilities of students, there will be two modules within the course. In the first week, the first portion will focus on basic skills, but not limited to, evaluating expressions, solving equations and inequalities, percents, graphing in the coordinate plane, statistics using measures of central tendency and spread, angles, polygons, and area. All of these skills are vital building blocks to success in high school level math courses as well as the SAT and ACT. In the second week, the focus will shift to algebra concepts for those students who are more advanced in their studies. These topics include the equations of a line, systems of equations, radicals, and rational expressions and equations. A strong algebra foundation is critical for anyone looking to pursue a Calculus course either junior or senior year in high school. Students are encouraged to attend both modules, but are able to select one or the other based on availability and preference. These concepts will enhance your son’s ability to thrive in all math courses
