Elementary Entering grades 1 – 4

Elementary SummerQuest offers an exciting array of opportunities for children entering grades one through four at Princeton Montessori School’s state-of-the-art facility. Each session is centered around a unique theme that will spark your child’s imagination and curiosity, and a specific sport. Learning takes place with hands-on activities, outdoor fun, arts, crafts, field trips, special events, and swimming lessons at the Princeton YWCA. SummerQuest memories last a lifetime. Whether one session or the entire summer, give your child a summer to remember!

Eco-Citizens

Firefly Tennis and Swimming

Session Q June 22 - July 10

Take a hike, watch the birds, and explore the outdoors! SummerQuest students will learn to “read the woods” as they discover the trees, birds, insects and wildflowers that are native to New Jersey. This “immersion” in outdoor education includes lessons in field biology, hiking skills and reading trail maps.

Students will create a nature journal to draw and record their experiences as well as learn how to pack a backpack with energy treats and first aid kits. Field trips to Bald Pate Mountain and Bowman’s Wildflower Preserve will provide an opportunity to hone observation skills and record data.

Session includes weekly swimming instruction at the YWCA in Princeton. Three afternoons per week, children will learn basic tennis skills with Firefly Tennis.

Artful Artists

Tae Kwon Do and Swimming

Session R

July 13 - 24

Nurture the artist within your child! Students will explore great works of art by master artists such as Van Gogh, Picasso, O’Keefe, Monet and Pollack. Hands-on, creative experiences will foster your child’s understanding of basic principles of art. To further spark creativity, students will visit the Princeton University Art Museum to view works by the masters, and the session will culminate with an exhibition of the children’s work. Best of all, children will have wonderful environments in which to create their own masterpieces — whether in our beautiful brand-new art studio or “plein-air” painting in our garden courtyard.

Session includes weekly swimming instruction at the YWCA in Princeton. Three afternoons per week, children will learn the fundamentals of Tae Kwon Do taught by Princeton Martial Arts Center.

Oceans Deep Volleyball and Swimming

Session S July 27 - Aug 7

Dive into the depths of the ocean and let your child explore all it has to offer! The ocean plays a role in everything, from the air we breathe to daily weather and climate patterns. During this session, children will become deep sea explorers with a study of the ocean, marine biology, and even meteorology. During the two-weeks, we will focus on the five ocean regions and the life forms that live and have settled there.

Students will participate in activities that bring the ocean to life, including art explorations, connections to literature, music, and history; and, of course, science. A visit to the acquarium will complete the adventure. All future oceanographers and admirers of the sea are invited!

Session includes weekly swimming instruction at the YWCA in Princeton. Three afternoons per week, children will learn the fundamentals of volleyball.

Fabulous Physics Outdoor Games and Swimming

Session T August 10 - 20

Children – scientists by nature – are full of questions about the way the world works. They want to know, “Why don’t I fall up?” or “Why do things spin and swing?” In this session, the young scientists will discover the answers as they explore the fascinating world of physics. Each day they will conduct experiments in our state-of-the-art science lab to learn about Newton’s Laws of Motion, aerodynamics, friction, force, mechanics, heat, light, sound, electricity, and magnetism. A visit from a Princeton Plasma Physics Lab scientist will further ignite students’ natural curiosity to understand their world.

The session is designed to deliver hands-on learning in a fun and engaging way while teaching the foundations of inquiry-based science.

Session includes weekly swimming instruction at the YWCA in Princeton. Three afternoons per week, children will enjoy old-fashioned outdoor games such as kickball, soccer, and basketball.
