Students signed up for Session One will spend each day of summer school taking the following four courses:

• Science Projects I
  In this course, students will build projects to learn about various science concepts. For example, they will build a wooden car and use it to learn aspects of Newton's laws of motion. Other builds will involve concepts in the areas of ecology, biology, chemistry and physics.
• Algebra Foundations I

  Students will build their algebraic foundation in this course by solidifying their understanding of number sense, equations, fractions, and word problems. These topics will help prepare students for future math courses.

• Study Skills through History I
  Through the lens of learning about Roman history and culture (or Medieval European for the 2nd session), students will practice various study skills such as researching topics of personal interest,  deciphering appropriate and credible resources, presenting, and test taking strategies. 

• Visual Arts
  The students will analyze and evaluate various visual art concepts and styles prevalent in the world. They will choose from a variety of materials and techniques to create including drawing, painting, ceramics, wheel throwing, and mixed media.

Program Dates: June 5 - June 16
Program Hours: 8 a.m. - 12 p.m.
Tuition: $550

Students signed up for Session Two will spend each day of summer school taking the following four courses:

• Science Project II
  In this course, students will use build projects to learn about various science concepts. For example, they will build a trebuchet or catapult and use it to learn aspects of mechanical energy. Other builds will involve concepts including optics and Ohm's law.
• Algebra Foundations II
   In this course, students will build their algebraic foundation by solidifying their understanding of graphing and solving equations. These topics will help prepare students for future math courses
• Study Skills through History II
  Through the lens of learning about Medieval European and culture (or Roman history in the 1st session), students will practice various study skills such as researching topics of personal interest,  deciphering appropriate and credible resources, presenting, and test taking strategies.
• Photography
  This course is designed to allow students to look at the world through a different lens.  Students will explore techniques and composition forms of still photography using a DSLR camera. There will be opportunities for practice with camera settings, framing subjects, and photo editing. 

Program Dates: June 20 - June 30
Program Hours: 8 a.m. - 12 p.m.

Interested in learning more about a career in Aviation? This class is for you!

All commercial pilots (and many military pilots) start their flying careers with the FAA Private Pilot Certificate.  This certificate is the gateway to the Instrument Certificate, the Commercial Certificate, the Instructor Certificate and the Airline Transport Pilot Certificate.  This is a fun career and pays more money than you can count …… for those who are successful.

The best way to learn about the potential of an aviation career is to take a structured academic course which gives you the academic insight into the mysteries of engines, aerodynamics, airspace, command and control, physiology, weather, mission planning and how to organize your study habits to successfully pass the FAA Written Exam, FAA Oral Exam and the FAA Practical Flight Exam (usually referred to as “The Check Ride”).

This course is useful for other math and science applications because it combines the theoretical study of math and science with real world application to problems like how to compute the required takeoff distance, how to pick the right altitude for best cruise and best fuel consumption, and how to compute the landing distance at varying altitudes and temperatures.

Becoming a pilot is not difficult, but FAA data shows that 80% of wannabe pilots DO NOT complete the FAA Private Pilot Certificate usually because of a lack of formal structured training which teaches a new pilot how to take ownership of the flight training process.  If a student can’t successfully study, he can’t fly !!

 If you want to study aviation academics this summer, contact Mr. Jason Wagner and check out the Jeppesen Private Pilot Textbook. You'll be glad you did!

The Fitness and Weight Training course is designed for students to develop and practice skills that will help them maintain fitness throughout their lives. During the summer course, students will set and monitor personal fitness goals in order to develop a personal fitness plan. Students’ fitness levels will be assessed daily in the following areas: muscular strength, flexibility, and endurance. Through these assessments, students will develop a baseline in which they will use to set personal fitness goals. Students will also learn about what specific muscles certain exercises target, eventually leading the class in an activity that they researched and practiced. Our goal is, by the end of the summer, students will be able to calculate target heart rate and design workouts to maintain personal fitness levels that meet their specific fitness goals. 

Program Dates: June 5- June 30
Program Hours: 8 a.m.-12 p.m.
Tuition: $1100
 

Students signed up for Afternoon Enrichments will spend the afternoons participating in the following fun and engaging courses:

• Engineering Challenge
  Teams must communicate and cooperate to successfully create and execute a plan to meet the specifications of a particular challenge each day. They will not know what the challenge for the day is until they come to class and may only use materials provided for the challenge.

• Crochet for Beginners
  Feeling crafty? Learn to crochet! This course is designed for students who have never crocheted before. Along with learning the basics of crocheting, students will choose between beginner projects such as scarves, beanies, headbands, and potholders.  
  
  Materials will be provided. If students want to use their own supplies, recommended beginner supplies are as follows: a crochet hook size 4.5 mm-5.5 mm and size 4 (medium/worsted) yarn (acrylic and cotton work best for the projects we will be doing).

• Fitness for Life-Session II only (June 20-June 30th only)
  In this class, we will focus on increasing our functional strength and improving our cardio/endurance. We will also talk about food choices and sleep and the role they play in our health, productivity, and happiness. Part of a good fitness program is about creating good exercise habits and building physical and mental strength. Some of the workouts will be challenging. You won’t be alone though. You will be part of a supportive cohort that encourages and cheers each other on when things get tough. Let’s get fit this summer and stay fit for life!
• Arts and Crafts 

  Do you like creating aesthetically pleasing works of art? Do you enjoy craft projects? Join other like-minded artists and crafters in this enrichment. Project ideas include succulent planters, lauhala fans, lei, and origami. In addition to the projects provided, students are welcome to bring their own ideas.
