The Summer Session at Newark Academy The Summer Session offers courses for advance credit, enrichment and skill development, as well as preview courses in core subjects. The classes, taught by a talented faculty, are small, providing an excellent academic experience.
Advance Credit Courses meet June 23 to August 1, four hours daily for a total of 120 hours and are for students seeking to further their academic studies in the summer. These courses are equivalent in rigor and content to full-year programs at Newark Academy. Students can take advance credit courses for enrichment, or with their school’s approval, transfer the course for credit at their respective schools.
The Jump Start Program prepares students for the challenges of 1st and 2nd grade by immersing them in a dynamic, integrated learning experience. Experienced instructors will help your child develop skills in reading, writing, mathematics, and more. Students may enroll in the full six-week session: June 23 to August 1, or a three-week session: June 23 to July 11 or July 14 to August 1. Complementing the Jump Start Program are the new Drop and Go, Lunch Bunch, and Stay and Play programs.
Preview Courses are two-hour courses designed for students who want substantial exposure to courses they will take in the fall. Preview courses are offered in math and science, and allow students to consider taking another two-hour course in the summer session. They meet June 23 to August 1, two hours daily for a total of 60 hours. Students in preview courses will cover approximately half of the entire course material over a six-week period. Students who wish to preview a specific math subject for less than six weeks should enroll in the Math Clinic.
Enrichment Courses for older students, such as writing and literature workshops, are offered June 23 to August 1, two hours daily for a total of 60 hours. Enrichment courses for younger students focus on developmental work in the critical areas of reading, English, math, science and study skills. These courses are offered in various time slots and on various dates. See information in course descriptions.
Arts Experience courses provide opportunities for both novice and experienced artists to engage in the creative process over the summer. Students in Arts Experience courses will try their hand at a number of different media, while artists enrolled in the Portfolio Seminar will spend their time assembling a mature body of work. Starting at three weeks in length, these workshops are taught by talented and passionate artists who provide feedback and support to every artist in the program. The Digital Arts class is a new addition to this year’s set of courses. All classes will take place in the McGraw Arts Center.
Sports Experience courses offer students the opportunity to develop their sports skills for individual sports, while improving their overall physical fitness. Starting at three weeks in length, these courses can be paired with academic offerings to enrich both the body and the mind. Sports experience courses will be taught in one-week units and require no prior experience.

Students on Campus Students will not be permitted in the school building prior to 7:30 am. Please do not drop your child off at the school prior to 7:30 am, as there will not be proper adult supervision until that time. Please note that students enrolled in our Jump Start program must be walked into their classroom. All students must depart campus within 30 minutes of completing their final enrolled class. No students are allowed in the building after 3:00 pm unless they are enrolled in a specialized workshop. Specific details about student conduct on campus are available in the General Information section of this brochure.
Absences Parents should notify the office if their child will be absent from class. Although missing any class time puts students at a distinct disadvantage in an accelerated course, students
taking advance credit courses are permitted two absences or a total of eight hours of class time. Students with excessive absences will not be eligible to have a transcript sent from Newark Academy. If they are absent, students enrolled in advance credit courses are responsible for making up the material and the work that was covered during their absence.
Academic Integrity Newark Academy strives to develop critical thinking and analytical writing skills throughout its curricula. Consequently, when a student signs his or her name to an assignment or assessment, the expectation and the understanding is that all work submitted is original or that the source from which the ideas or text have been taken is clearly identified. A student involved in an incident of academic dishonesty may be dismissed from Summer Session.
Final Exams All students enrolled in an advance credit class are required to take a final exam. A student will not be issued a final grade if he or she does not take the final exam in a 120-hour course.
Electronic Devices The use of cell phones and text messaging by students is restricted to the outdoors. If a cell phone goes off in class, a teacher will take the phone and bring it to the office. Personal computers may be used only for school-related work. Students are not allowed to play games or watch movies on their computers at Newark Academy. The use of mobile devices during a class is not allowed without expressed permission of the classroom teacher.

Your child will begin formal handwriting, learn to create full sentences, and study capitalization and punctuation. Weekly spelling words will help students create a word bank that will assist them as they enter the world of writing complete and meaningful sentences. Mathematical concepts such as problem solving, operations, and number sense will be taught using hands-on manipulatives, while students work cooperatively on various activities. Additionally, the use of Cuisinaire rods and snap cubes will enhance your child’s number sense by making “numbers” come to life. Daily enrichment activities such as art, computers, physical education and music, will provide students with a dynamic, integrated learning experience. The last day of the program will include a “Celebration of Learning.” Both students and parents will participate in activities that highlight the six-week academic journey.

Moving pictures are everywhere: on our computers, our tablets, smartphones, televisions and on the big screen. Because so much of what we learn comes from moving images on these various platforms, it is important to learn how to “read” what we see. Even though the technology that made the motion picture possible is relatively young, the influence of film is so vast it is immeasurable. How did we come so far so fast? By closely studying a number of classic films, created by some of the masters of filmmaking, the student who enrolls in this class will learn the “vocabulary” of filmmaking. In addition to viewing excerpts from classic movies, students will watch full length feature films like Alfred Hitchcock’s Rear Window, Arthur Penn’s Bonnie and Clyde and Alan J. Pakula’s political thriller All the President’s Men. The class will conclude with the classic screwball comedy, Billy Wilder’s Some Like It Hot.
This course offers students the opportunity to study various perspectives of globalization in today’s world. It will focus on the nature and complexity of globalization, including its cultural, economic, political, and religious dimensions. Students will learn about Islam and globalization, the influence of the U.S. in the world, the rise of China, and about Africa and the Arab world at large.

In a society marked by economic instability, citizens often focus on the study of education in math and science rather than the liberal arts. In this course, students will learn about the critical role that studying philosophy can play in the development of ethically-minded critical thinkers. Five major areas of philosophy will be covered: Ontology (What exists?), Epistemology (What can we know?), Ethics (How should we behave?), Aesthetics (What is beautiful?), and Existentialism (What is life’s meaning?). Important thinkers in each of these categories will provide reading for consideration.
Students attending this one-week institute will learn research and debate skills while gaining a greater awareness of global affairs through intensive Model United Nations training.
