Wardlaw+Hartridge’s Summer Scholars Program is intended for students entering grades 7-12 who want an academic summer experience to gain exposure to a course they might take in the next school year, or review a course before moving onto the next level. We offer non-credit academic enrichment programs for students entering grades 7-12 and full credit courses for students entering grades 9-12.
Whether you are joining Summer Scholars to give yourself an academic challenge or just want to try and prevent the “summer slide” that is so common with this age group, our students will be met with an enriching experience that is taught by talented and experienced faculty.
CANCELED - Non-Credit Courses: Grades 7-9 (June 22 - July 31)
CANCELED - Non-Credit Courses: Grades 9-12 (June 22 - July 31)
Full Credit Courses: Grades 9-12 (June 22 - July 24)
Students enrolled in our 7th-9th grade program will take two classes each day. The first class runs 8:45am - 10:30am and students can either take Pre-Algebra or Algebra 1. The second class runs from 10:45am - 12pm and all students will take the Reading/Writing for a well-balanced academic experience.
Students entering grades 7-8 may choose to extend the day by adding an afternoon option to join our camp activities. Students who choose this option will join one of our camp groups to participate in lunch, swimming and other outdoor and indoor activities and games each day.
Pre-Algebra
This course will reinforce key math concepts and operations and explore important new concepts in Algebra. Topics covered may include comparing, ordering and operations with integers, order of operations, the distributive property and the coordinate system, exponents and scientific notation, graphing, and creating algebraic equations. More topics may be covered if time permits.
Algebra I
This course will introduce and explore the fundamental elements of the Algebra 1 curriculum. Topics covered may include algebraic expressions and functions, integers, rational and real numbers, solving multi-step equations, variables, formulas and functions, rations, proportions, coordinate planes, rate of change, slope, and much more.
Reading/Writing
This course is intended to enhance the student’s understanding, comprehension and enjoyment of literature. They will become more adept at identifying themes and interpreting characterization and figurative language. Readings may include a significant novel, poetry, short stories, drama, and analytical essays. Students will write several papers based on the works of literature they are reading, and time will be devoted to exploring essay structure and developing a strong academic voice. Also, they will learn and polish the skills needed to write high quality analytical essays. Skills to be addressed include composing effective thesis statements and paragraphs, organizing the essay, acquiring and using supporting evidence and arguments, and of course, editing and rewriting techniques.

Full credit courses are for students wishing to advance their academic studies in the summer.  These courses are academically rigorous and are equivalent to a college preparatory course. A course may be taken for transfer credit
if the student's school gives approval.
For Wardlaw+Hartridge students only:
Students must earn the qualifying grade in the prerequisite math course (87% in Honors course or 95% in College Prep course) with teacher recommendation.  Approval must also be obtained from the Math Department Chair as well as the US Division Head.
If the student earns the required grade, they may advance to the next level of math in September.
W+H students will have the 120 hour math course listed on their official transcript with the grade earned to show the appropriate sequence of courses taken.  However, the grade earned will not be calculated into their gpa, nor will credits be added.
Algebra II
This course covers the study of functions-linear, quadratic, inverse, trigonometric, discrete, and recursive. These functions will be solved and graphed with and without the graphing calculator. The real number system will be extended to include rational exponents and complex numbers. (Prerequisite: Algebra 1)
Geometry
This course is a study of the properties of points, lines, angles, plane figures and solids. Topics to be covered will include congruence, constructions, parallelism, similarity, perpendicularity, areas, and volumes. Emphasis is placed on deductive reasoning, mathematical proof and the postulates and theorems. Also, the elements of coordinate geometry and right triangle trigonometry will be introduced.
Pre-Calculus and Trigonometry
This course expands the concepts of Algebra II and includes further study of functions and their graphs. The additional functions include polynomial, exponential and logarithmic functions, series, sequences, and limits. The six trigonometric functions which will be studied include functions of special and quadrantal angles, fundamental identities, graphs, inverse trig functions, applications and trigonometry equations. Parametric equations and polar graphing will be included as well.
