Get Ahead This Summer--Bosco Tech Offers Summer Classes for Sixth Through Twelfth Graders

PRLog (Press Release) - May 3, 2012 - Don Bosco Technical Institute will offer academic enrichment and review courses and Advanced Placement preparatory summer classes, as well as sports camps, to boys and girls in middle school through high school. Six-week high school courses begin on Monday, June 18, while five-week middle school courses begin on Monday, June 25.

High school students may choose to take intensive “get ahead” courses, allowing them to complete a semester or a full year’s course work and credits over the summer, while preparatory classes in Pre-Calculus, AP U.S. History and AP Spanish Literature will provide students entering those classes in the fall the chance to begin their studies early. SAT prep in both Math and English are available. Also offered are review classes in a variety of academic subjects, and enrichment courses such as Android Apps design, watercolor painting and drama. Driver’s education classes will also be offered.

Middle school students enrolled in enrichment classes can have “fun with electronics” or build and program their own robots. Students can learn the basics of guitar or participate in a science workshop. Young actors can develop their skills in the drama and performance class and all students can refine their study habits in Bosco Tech’s study skills class.

In addition to the classes, high school and middle school sports camps will be offered for strength and conditioning, basketball, soccer, baseball, tennis, cross country, cheerleading and golf. Football conditioning, track and field, basketball and soccer training for Bosco Tech students will also be offered.

The deadline for summer school registration is Friday, June 1. Walk-in registration, on a space-available basis, will be conducted on Wednesday, June 13, and Thursday, June 14, in the school library from 8 a.m. to 12 noon and from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.
