What is it?
For the seventh consecutive summer, Pembroke Academy is pleased to offer Pushing Your Limits summer program for students entering Pembroke Academy’s freshman class in the fall. Pushing Your Limits is a two-week program designed to address a student’s academic, social and emotional needs, and thereby easing the transition into high school.
What do we do?
During the course of the two weeks, students will work together on a portion of their summer reading assignments, learn effective study and note taking skills, and develop learning habits that will aid with their academic success at P.A. In addition, students will have the opportunity to engage in fun activities that will help to develop the self-esteem, teamwork abilities, and problem-solving skills that are important to achieving success throughout high school and beyond.
