Pushing Your Limits

-2008-

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.

 

What’s the schedule?

There are four 2-week sessions to choose from:  Sign up early, space is limited in each session.

    Session 1                    Session 2                         Session 3                      Session 4

       (no July 4)                

 

Each session meets 9am to 3pm, Monday through Friday, except for the second Friday of each session. 

 

Credits?

If a student is absent not more than two days during the course of the program, complete all assignments and homework, they will receive 1.25 credits towards high school graduation.

 

Who’s running this program?

Pushing Your Limits staff consists of Pembroke Academy teachers and PA student assistants.
