Summer Camps & Programs
St. Louis University High School offers a wide variety of summer programs for both grade school and high school students. Summer programs include:
Upward Bound
An intensive, full-day, four-week summer program for boys who have completed the 7th grade. The Upward Bound curriculum focuses on writing skills, mathematics and time management with particular attention to study skills. The program serves boys between 7th and 8th grade whose teachers and test scores suggest that they could be achieving better grades. The program is not remedial, nor is it intended as enrichment. We seek students who are willing to devote four weeks of their summer to improving their study skills and who are likely to enroll in a college preparatory curriculum but are not currently achieving their potential.
For more information, download the Upward Bound flyer and nomination form below (Adobe Acrobat Reader is required), or contact Mr. Chuck Hussung, Principal of Upward Bound, by e-mail at hussung@sluh.org or by phone at (314) 531-0330 x532.
Summer Enrichment for Boys and Girls who have Completed 6th Grade
For grade school students (both boys and girls) between the 6th and 7th grade, SLUH offers two four-week enrichment classes. Each class meets each weekday for 90 minutes. The current course offerings are "Novels about Growing Up" and "Physics." To be eligible for these courses, students must have a "B" average or higher on their 6th grade report cards, and standardized test scores in the 80th percentile or higher in the relevant areas. Applications are available on this Web site beginning in January each year. For more information, contact Mr. Frank Kovarik at kovarik@sluh.org.
Summer Enrichment for Boys and Girls who have Completed 7th Grade
For boys and girls between the 7th and 8th grade, SLUH offers three four-week enrichment classes. Each class meets weekdays for about two hours. The courses include "Story Writing," "Chemistry" and a course in algebra called "SEA Squared", which stands for Summer Enrichment in Algebra for Seventh-Graders who are Educationally Able. The eligibility requirements are the same as in the 6th grade courses (B average report card and 80th percentile test scores). Applications are available by downloading the brochure below.
