Course Descriptions & Schedules
The 2010 Summer Session
Monday, July 12th to Friday, July 30th
Morning classes are from 8:30 to noon, and afternoon classes are from 1:00 to 4:30. Classes meet four days a week: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday & Friday.
Courses are selected based on the grade level the student will complete in June 2010. If an applicant has a compelling reason to request a class other than those listed for his or her grade level, they can write a petition letter to the Director explaining the reason for the request.
Students may take only one class, but in applying should select other acceptable classes. Since there are usually more high-achieving applicants than a class can accommodate, it is possible that students may not receive their first choice for placement (especially if an application is not turned in early).
