Please note, Summer Studies courses are subject to cancelation due to enrollment numbers and staffing. For rising ninth graders from any school, this short course is designed to help students develop critical reading, writing, and general study skills. Students should expect to write during class each day and will receive extensive feedback on ways to improve their formal writing (argumentation, style, organization) as well as note-taking strategies and techniques to help improve reading comprehension. This course is not for course credit.
