MARANATHA
HIGH SCHOOL
SUMMER ACADEMY 2016
J u n e 2 0 - J u ly 2 9
Dear Students and Parents,
Do you sometimes feel that there is not enough time in the yearly
schedule to achieve all that you desire to experience in high school?
We understand that feeling. We have found over the years that
students have discovered the benefits of participating in Maranatha’s
Summer Academy. In this immersive learning atmosphere, students
have the opportunity to advance in their coursework and to improve
their academic standing. Many students have found a benefit in
taking only one course, free from the distractions of other homework
assignments. You can take an Honors course to pave the way for an
AP course during the school year or complete a core course during
the summer to allow an open period during the school year for
advanced courses in your area of interest. Talk with the counseling
team if you would like assistance with selecting the right course for
you to take during the Summer Academy. Join us this summer for a
time of academic inquiry and discovery.
