Winston Preparatory Summer Enrichment Program
The Summer Enrichment Program 2011 at Winston Preparatory School provides students with the unique opportunity to participate in an individually designed program aimed to enhance academic skills and foster independence. Students are enrolled in four academic classes each day—Language & Literature, History, Science, and Math as well as art and music classes—from 9 am to 1 pm from July 1st to July 29th. In the Morning Academic Program, students are grouped by learning style and skill level in classes no larger than eight individuals in order to facilitate greater learning and maximize individualized instruction. The summer staff consists of reading specialists, special education instructors, and speech and language pathologists from Winston’s full-time faculty. The program develops decoding and encoding, reading comprehension, critical-thinking skills, memory retrieval, organizational skills, written language expression, self-advocacy, mathematical computation, time-management skills, test preparation, and expressive language skills within a nurturing, academic environment. Students from fourth through twelfth grades from private, public, and parochial schools from New York City and abroad participate in the program. In the past, students from Japan, China, Egypt, Guam, Puerto Rico, Trinidad, Turkey, and Indonesia have all been enrolled in our summer program.
From 1:30 pm to 3 pm, we offer optional 45-minute classes and activities. Students are given the opportunity to enroll in the July Focus Program—one-on-one instructional classes—or to engage in after-school activities or to participate in both. Based on Winston Preparatory School’s innovative Focus Program, students participate in one-on-one sessions
