Special
Summer Session
To
accomodate the diversity of summer break schedules,
which vary from school to school, we offered
a special summer session for a few students
(no more than 2) who were interested in participating
in part of the schedule of summer activities
but could not attend for the entire summer sessio
dates. The Special Summer Session was also designed
to offer an intensive ten-week training opportunity
following the curriculum of the regular summer
session.
