Middle School Summer Programs

CAMP LOCATION:

Combining intensive study and small-group learning, this program provides individual attention and student engagement. Students may take one or two classes, either for remediation or enhancement. Courses are taught by Benjamin teachers and follow The Benjamin School curriculum with a summer twist of engaging activities and class themes.

Middle Summer Reading Program

We will be offering a Reading for Understanding course exclusively for current and incoming Benjamin students. The course is organized by grade level and requires a two-week commitment from June 1st–June 12th from 8:30am-10:30am. In this course, students will focus on:

Techniques for analyzing literature
Elements of fiction
Annotating texts
Vocabulary development
Reading expression

A complete syllabus will be provided to each student for the two-week session. This class offers a great opportunity for students to “chip away” at their required summer reading for their grade level.

Language Skills Workshop 6th, 7th and 8th Grade Dates: August 10th-11th Times: 9:00am-12:00pm

This summer course will introduce new students to the grammar concepts such as the parts of speech and the skill of diagramming and MLA writing requirements expected of students at The Benjamin School. In addition, the class will reference the summer reading through the grammar exercises, so students will need to be familiar with the assigned text. Students will work individually, with partners, in small groups, and with direct teacher instruction. For returning students, this course offers a review of the grammatical concepts taught the previous year and a preview of the grammar topics for the upcoming year.
