Oliverian School Summer Program Schedule

The Oliverian School Summer Program is made up of two 4-week sessions which can be combined into an 8-week program or taken separately. Session 1 begins on Sunday, June 22, 2008 and ends with graduation on Saturday, July 19, 2008. Session 2 begins on Sunday, July 20, 2008 and ends with graduation on Saturday, August 16, 2008. The Combined Session runs from June 22 – August 16, 2008.

The Oliverian School Summer Program offers academic credit in English, Mathematics, and Art. English coursework concentrates on Literature and Writing. Mathematics offerings include Algebra I, Algebra II with Trigonometry, and Geometry. Our Art program focuses on Studio Art and Pottery-Making, with integrated opportunities available in Dance and Theatrical Arts.

Our program emphasizes choice. The Oliverian School believes each student is unique and approaches a summer program with different needs. Therefore, the Oliverian Summer Program emphasizes choice, allowing students to sign-up for the core courses they need while allowing plenty of opportunity to try new activities to round out their schedule. If a student needs English credit, they won’t be required to take Math, too. Or, if they want Math credit, they won’t need to take English. If a student wants to focus on the Arts, they can do so, and not be required to take Math or English! Of course, a student can always take Math and English, and enjoy Art, too!

Once students are enrolled in their core courses, they choose experiential activities to complete their schedule. Choices include modern and jazz dance, martial arts, rock climbing, outdoor adventure, CPR and first aid training, horseback riding, organic gardening, team-building, leadership, and theatrical arts.

Academic courses run Monday through Thursday. Mornings are dedicated to classroom study, while afternoons allow time for integrated learning and activities. Friday is reserved for trips and off-campus learning. Weekends and evenings provide additional opportunities for fun and supportive programming.
