Sage Academy - Summer 2010

Experts say kids will lose up to 60% of this year’s material over the summer. Make this a summer they won’t forget.

We call it Sage Academy: an exciting mix of workshops, labs, and classes designed to challenge and inspire our students each summer break. Intensive and fun, Creative Writing Workshops offer young writers in-depth instruction on the art and craft of fiction and poetry writing. In Science Exploration Labs, kids investigate topics from kitchen chemistry to rockets. Finally, our Academic Bridge Classes—in math, foreign language, essay-writing, and more—close the gap between last school year and the year ahead.

 

Writing Workshops - No grades. No red pens. Just the perfect setting to kindle the creative spark.

Writing workshop in action.

Each summer, in the Sage Academy Creative Writing Workshops, kids learn advanced fiction- and poetry-writing skills in the collaborative, supportive, and stimulating workshop environment. They benefit from frequent, specific feedback from teachers who are writers themselves—and receive one-on-one support in instructor “office hours.” Students produce work to be published in our summer literary magazine, and have the opportunity to learn about writing and publishing in college and beyond. Most important, each student gains the confidence to develop a unique voice as a writer.

In a nutshell:
*Both fiction and poetry workshops
*Select from several engaging course themes
*Middle school and high school sessions
*Workshops capped at 10 students

 

Science Exploration - Explore. Experiment. Excite.

Science fun.

Kids gain hands-on experience with real laboratory experiments over the summer at Sage Academy’s Science Exploration Labs. We take an out-of-the-box, out-of-the-classroom approach to science education—encouraging students to get outdoors and get active as they explore the vital scientific concepts behind exciting real-world topics. Discover the ocean’s secrets, examine a crime scene, play with your food, launch your own rocket, and more, all at Sage Academy.

In a nutshell:
*Select from several exciting course themes
*A new experiment every day
*For middle school and high school students
*Exploration Labs capped at 10 students
