The purpose of this four-week course is to help students write with confidence, clarity, and purpose in all of their school work, and to prepare for the rigors of high school level writing.

Because of the pacing and intensity of summer courses, students must have the ability to login and complete work for their course daily; students must be available and have internet access from July 13th until August 7th – this is nonnegotiable!

The teachers themselves come from great independent schools around the country and are caring, supportive, and highly trained - meet some of them here! |
