The creative writing class begins with the premise that everyone is a writer with a meaningful story. Taught by Mrs. Shwayder, the class focuses on helping students find their authentic voices while digging into the experiences that make up their lives. This writing curriculum has been used by companies, schools, and individuals to build confidence and stir creativity in participants. All that is needed is a pen and paper. After establishing ground rules, Mrs. Shwayder leads each session of narrative guidance through poetry and specific prompts. After a timed writing, each participant then reads their writing out loud, which naturally creates a community of authenticity, connection, and support. Students will also work on different literary devices, narrative techniques, and genre writing. Students find that after their class they are empowered in their storytelling and creative writing abilities.

Mr. Kane invites your son or daughter to a two-week specialized physical science session this summer! Want to give your child a  head start in their practical and mathematical understanding of Chemistry and Physics? Each day our students will explore a major topic of physical science, followed by a lab that will clearly explain the mathematics involved. This will help prepare your child for science in middle school, and help better prepare them for high school honors, or advanced placement in chemistry and physics. Mr. Kane promises to show all the tricks, traps, and ultimate knowledge necessary to make physical science fun, successful, and memorable!
Please note: 7th and 8th grade students are preferred. However, all serious science students are welcome!
