2010 Summer Program Catalog by Francis Parker School

Welcome! Summer Programs Mission Statement Weaving together accomplished teachers and engaged students in fun and supportive learning environments that promote critical thinking, celebrate academic achievement, encourage personal reflection, and foster social and emotional growth, the Francis Parker School Summer Program seeks to inspire, challenge, empower and enrich young minds— in the classroom, in the arts and in athletics.

Program Overview The notion of “inspiring excellence”—a notion that defines so much of the fall/winter/spring terms at Parker—is integral to Francis Parker School’s summer classes and related activities. From junior kindergarten through grade 12, Parker’s Summer Program offers a wide array of learning opportunities in the classroom and beyond. Be it at the Lower School, the Middle School or the Upper School, the focus is on enrichment and advancement with the overarching mission of keeping students’ “brains in the fast lane” during the summer months. While a number of traditional courses remain the bedrock of a broad curriculum, we invite students and parents to consider some new and exciting additions for the coming summer. For example: Destination: Space Camp (with a scheduled trip to the Space Center in Huntsville, Alabama a part of the course) and Spanish Immersion at the Lower School; to a genealogy course entitled Who Do You Think You Are? and Survive: Self Defense Training at the Middle School; to Dancing Through San Diego: A Choreography Workshop and The Science of Superheroes at the Upper School. On the athletics/skills development side, Cheerleading Prep: Acrobatics, Gymnastics and Aerobics and Fencing: Learning Sword Skills have been added to an already extensive list of sports options. In total, 34 additional courses have been added to the Summer Program.

Please review the general information, courses and related activities presented on the pages that follow. To register for courses or activities, please find a 2010 Summer Program Registration Form at the end of this brochure for your use. (You may wish to make copies of this registration form for registering additional students.)

Lower School Courses For all who have had the opportunity to visit or spend time on the Lower School campus located in Mission Hills, it is clear that this is a magical place. For summer 2010, some unique learning programs have been developed by a remarkably innovative faculty. Under the direction of Letty Robinson and David Glassey, a child-centered program is presented. At the junior and senior kindergarten levels, “Little Explorers” is back once again. For 1st-5th grade students, an engaging morning program (“Sumer Sizzle”) offers a rotation of five distinct courses Session I (June 28-July 16) and again in Session II (July 19-August 6). The Summer Sizzle rotation includes reading, science, computers, Singapore math and art during Session I, and reading, science, “visual” poetry, woodshop and musical theatre during Session II. Students may prefer to sign up for “stand alone” courses that run the length of each morning, including Space Camp, Spanish Immersion and a pair of grade-specific “JumpStart” courses. The afternoons at the Lower School (“Summer Fun”) often find the children off-campus, involved in age-appropriate, fun

activities. The younger kids may enjoy a variety of beach and aquatics adventures, games and crafts — all supervised closely by a veteran Parker staff. The older students (grades 3-5) will also enjoy time at the beach in addition to field trips to local attractions like Soak City, Solid Rock Gym, Boomers and other destination points in and around San Diego. Regardless of age or grade level, the emphasis of Summer Fun is to indeed, have fun.

ALL-DAY PROGRAM

Little Explorers Program Instructors: Laurie Stall, Kym Farkas This activities-based, closely-supervised program is appropriate for incoming junior and senior kindergarten students.

Week #1’s signature activity includes a variety of daily field trips to local fun or cultural destinations, preceded by a “circle time/reading/lesson.” Weeks #2 and #3 are designated as “swim weeks,” with each morning offering a theme-based, group craft activity. The swimming lessons that follow are conducted at Noonan Pool and run Monday-Thursday. A school-prepared lunch is included prior to the start of the afternoon session.
