The Summer Session at Newark Academy The Summer Session offers courses for advance credit, enrichment and skill development, as well as preview courses in core subjects. The classes, taught by a talented faculty, are small, providing an excellent academic experience.

Advance Credit Courses meet June 22 to July 31, four hours daily for a total of 120 hours and are for students seeking to further their academic studies in the summer.

These courses are equivalent in rigor and content to full-year programs at Newark Academy. Students can take advance credit courses for enrichment, or with their school’s approval, transfer the course for credit at their respective schools.

The Jump Start Program prepares students for the challenges of 1st and 2nd grade by immersing them in a dynamic, integrated learning experience. Experienced instructors will help your child develop skills in reading, writing, mathematics, and more. Students may enroll in the full six-week session: June 22 to July 31, or a three-week session: June 22 to July 10 or July 13 to July 31.

Complementing the Jump Start Program are the Lunch Bunch and Stay and Play programs.

Preview Courses are two-hour courses designed for students who want substantial exposure to courses they will take in the fall. Preview courses are offered in math and science, and allow students to consider taking another two-hour course in the summer session. They meet June 22 to July 31, two hours daily for a total of 60 hours. Students in preview courses will cover approximately half of the entire course material over a six-week period. Students who wish to preview a specific math subject for less than six weeks should enroll in the Math Clinic.

Enrichment Courses for older students, such as writing and literature workshops, are offered June 22 to July 31, two hours daily for a total of 60 hours. Enrichment courses for younger students focus on developmental work in the critical areas of reading, English, math, science and study skills. Students may enroll in the full six-week session: June 22 to July 31, or a three-week session: June 22 to July 10 or July 13 to July 31.

Arts Experience courses provide opportunities for both novice and experienced artists to engage in the creative process over the summer. Students in Arts Experience courses will try their hand at a number of different media.

Offered as a full 6-week session or 3-week session, these workshops are taught by talented and passionate artists who provide feedback and support to every artist in the program. New STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) classes present students with an integrated and collaborative approach to learning across different content areas and multiple learning styles.

All classes will take place in the McGraw Arts Center.

Sports Experience courses offer students the opportunity to develop their sports skills for individual sports, while improving their overall physical fitness. Offered as a full 6-week session or 3-week session, these courses can be paired with academic offerings to enrich both the body and the mind. Sports experience courses will be taught in one-week units and require no prior experience.

Students on Campus Students will not be permitted in the school building prior to 7:30 am.

Specific details about student conduct on campus are available in the General Information section of this brochure.

Absences Parents should notify the office if their child will be absent from class. Although missing any class time puts students at a distinct disadvantage in an accelerated course, students

taking advance credit courses are permitted two absences or a total of eight hours of class time. Students with excessive absences will not be eligible to have a transcript sent from Newark Academy. If they are absent, students enrolled in advance credit courses are responsible for making up the material and the work that was covered during their absence.

Academic Integrity Newark Academy strives to develop critical thinking and analytical writing skills throughout its curricula. Consequently, when a student signs his or her name to an assignment or assessment, the expectation and the understanding is that all work submitted is original or that the source from which the ideas or text have been taken is clearly identified. A student involved in an incident of academic dishonesty may be dismissed from Summer Session.

Final Exams All students enrolled in an advance credit class are required to take a final exam. A student will not be issued a final grade if he or she does not take the final exam in a 120-hour course.

Electronic Devices The use of cell phones and text messaging by students is restricted to the outdoors. If a cell phone goes off in class, a teacher will take the phone and bring it to the office.

Personal computers may be used only for school-related work. Students are not allowed to play games or watch movies on their computers at Newark Academy. The use of mobile devices during a class is not allowed without expressed permission of the classroom teacher.

July 13 - July 17 1:00 - 4:00 pm Tuition: $300

July 20 - July 24 1:00 - 4:00 pm Tuition: $300

We do not need to look far today to see our culture’s fascination with genius and insanity. Both states of mind require that an individual see or express things in a way that others do not. Looking primarily at literature, but also at film, music, the visual arts and several clinical essays, we will explore the sometimes permeable line between the two states of mind.

Literature has the power to transport us to different worlds. This course will explore texts where the physical, geographical, and psychological landscape dominates our reading experience. We will consider how characters are shaped or tested in different settings, and the extent to which we are products of our environment. The class will cover fictional locales, films, reporting and travel writing, while employing photo-journalism, creative writing, and essay writing to evoke a sense of place.

The law is everywhere. It protects the rights of citizens to speak freely, empowers the police to arrest criminals, and allows those who have been injured to seek compensation for the damages they have suffered. Indeed, it's nearly impossible to watch TV, go shopping, or even drink water without coming into contact with some aspect of the law. In this course, students will examine concepts and cases that define the American legal system. They will wrestle with challenging real-world questions that lawyers and judges face every day. In addition to exploring the foundations of the law, three major areas of the law will be addressed: Constitutional Law, Criminal Law, and Tort Law. Class activities include reading and writing court opinions, trial simulations, and debates.

NEW The Zombie Survival Guide: Literary Edition

NEW Poetry Intensive Grades 8 - 9

Grades 9 - 11 June 22 - June 26 1:00 - 4:00 pm Tuition: $300 “A Zombie is raised by a disease, and has a single biological imperative, which is to spread the virus by biting human beings.” – Max Brooks on HistoryChannel.com In May of 2011, the Center for Disease Control’s website crashed when ten times the normal amount of weekly viewers of the site attempted to look at one post at the same time. The name of the post? Preparedness 101: Zombie Apocalypse.

So…zombies invaded the CDC. Literally. With origins in Haiti, and symbolic values ranging from the evils of eugenics, the blight of slavery, and the horrors of plagues, zombies have captured the American imagination and suffused popular culture for over a decade.

In this one-week course, we will read Brooks’ 2007 seminal – and satirical – book World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War, as well as selections from Colson Whitehead’s 2012 national bestseller Zone One, 2011’s Aim for the Head: An Anthology of Zombie Poetry, and 2013’s Outbreak: Visions of the Apocalypse to explore the seemingly undying power of the zombie in literature.

July 6 - July 10 1:00 - 4:00 pm Tuition: $300 “Discipline allows magic. To be a writer is to be the very best of assassins. You do not sit down and write every day to force the Muse to show up. You get into the habit of writing every day so that when she shows up, you have the maximum chance of catching her, bashing her on the head, and squeezing every last drop out of her.” – Lili St. Crow, American author This course is for people interested in improving their poetic discipline. By the end of the week, each student should produce a minimum of five polished poems. How can we accomplish this feat? Why, by disciplining ourselves, thus becoming assassins of Euterpe (lyric poetry), Thalia (comedy and pastoral poetry), Melpomene (tragedy), Erato (love poetry), and/or Polyhymnia (sacred poetry)!

We will begin each day of this course by reading and briefly discussing a selection of published poems. We will then write individually, following prompts not given ahead of time. The weeklong workshop will end with a tutorial on how to appropriately submit poems to literary publications.

Instructor: Elizabeth LaPadula, D.Litt., Newark Academy, Faculty, English Department

Students will be required to keep a journal of their thoughts while reading these various works, and will analyze a zombie poem or short story.
