Middle School Program: Panther Preview

Step outside of your comfort zone and into our community!

Open to students entering 6th, 7th, or 8th grade in the fall of 2012.  Offered from July 9th through July 20th.

This two-week program for rising 6th through 8th graders will provide a solid preparation for high school, including academic skill-building, working collaboratively, and exposure to new places, people and ideas.   For those students who might be interested in attending Saint Mary’s for high school in the future, the program will also give a taste of campus life and provide an introduction to a variety of Saint Mary’s faculty and staff.

Morning classes in English and Math will help students develop a firm foundation with a focus on critical thinking and problem-solving.

During the lunch break, preview participants will be encouraged to interact with one another through sports, board or video games, and other activities.

Afternoons are devoted to hands-on, project based learning or off-campus excursions.  This year’s program will incorporate sessions in laboratory science, the virtual world of Minecraft, and arts exploration.  Please check back in March for an updated schedule of our afternoon sessions.
