Brainiacs

June 16 – August 6, 2026

Over the years, our experience in teaching and supporting students has shown us that developing strong foundational reading skills early is essential. These skills not only give students a head start in exploring the literary world but also prepare them to excel across subjects as they progress to higher grades. Through engaging and thought-provoking novels, students will be challenged and encouraged to actively participate in discussions, fostering both comprehension and critical thinking. All books and packets included with enrollment.

Reading Rhetoric

This class offers motivated 9th and 10th-grade students an opportunity to strengthen their critical thinking, reading, and writing abilities while enhancing essential academic skills. Through this course, students will engage with challenging texts from diverse genres and build interdisciplinary literacy by exploring various topics within the humanities. Additionally, they will work on reading and writing test-style passages relevant to the PSAT and SAT.

Please note that this course does NOT include weekly tests or math practice.
