Summer Montessori (Ages 3 - 6)   There is much data that shows that children lose academic achievement gained throughout the school year during long summer breaks. Therefore, The Summit Country Day School is providing the opportunity for your child to continue to explore, expand, and experience his or her knowledge of the Montessori materials and educational process through the summer on our campus. Summer Montessori class will be offered for any new (2012-13) or current (2011-12) Summit Montessori student and a limited number of Montessori children from other schools (pending interview with Montessori faculty). This class will be taught by Summit Montessori teachers. The Montessori philosophy and materials will be those with which your child is familiar.  The lead teachers of this summer Montessori class will communicate with your child’s current lead teacher to determine where in the continuum your child is currently working, so that there is an easy transition to the classroom. In the fall, when classes resume and your child returns to their regular program, your child’s progress will be communicated to his or her teacher.  The focus and purpose of this class is to provide a consistent framework for children in order to support the skills foundational to the Montessori Method of education. Whether you want your child to attend one week or all nine, he or she may be able to retain more of the skills and knowledge by being able to practice those skills throughout the summer.  Each week of Summer Montessori class will be limited to the first 24 students enrolling.   Children desiring to stay for summer fun and activities may be enrolled for the afternoon session of “Summit Summer Exploration Summer Day Camp.” Each week children will have fun with different activities, games - inside and out, field trips, crafts, books, fun facts, and friendships.

Summer Studies in the Latin Language Castra Latina! Grades 7 – 12  This “Latin Camp” is a four-week intensive study of the various disciplines in Greek and Roman studies. It is intended for motivated students, but remedial instruction is also available. The session is especially useful for students who plan to attend the National Junior Classical League Convention at Wake Forest University (Winston-Salem NC) from July 26-July 31. It is 16 days in all, Monday-Thursday, June 4-June 28. Each four-hour day (8:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m.) is roughly divided into 4 parts. The first part of the morning (8:30-9:30 a.m.) is devoted to an independent study topic from classical civilization. Each student will pick an area of interest and explore it in greater detail. The second part of the day (9:30-10:30 a.m.) focuses on the study of the Latin language. Whether beginning or advanced, students will improve their comprehension of Latin vocabulary, grammar, syntax and translation through individualized instruction and small, studentled classes. The third part (10:30-11:30 a.m.) is a group session where the students will read excerpts from Greek and Latin authors to gain insight into Greco-Roman mythology, history and culture. In the final part of the day (11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m.), students again return to their independent study topics. This final period is also an opportunity for students to prepare for the various competitions at the National Convention (Certamen, art projects, creative art practice, etc.) Students may come to any or all of the session days/weeks. There is no problem with students coming for just a week, or arriving late or leaving early. The instruction will be geared towards ability and interest.
