Course Descriptions & Schedules
The 2009 Summer Session
Monday, July 13th to Friday, July 31st
Morning classes are from 8:30 to noon, and afternoon classes are from 1:00 to 4:30. Classes meet four days a week: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday & Friday.
Courses are selected based on the grade level the student will complete in June 2009. If an applicant has a compelling reason to request a class other than those listed for his or her grade level, they can write a petition letter to the Director explaining the reason for the request.
Students may take only one class, but in applying should select other acceptable classes. Since there are usually more high-achieving applicants than a class can accommodate, it is possible that students may not receive their first choice for placement (especially if an application is not turned in early).
Course descriptions can be found in the sections linked below or in the PDF version (to read and print out the document, you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader).
