Summer Programs

Summer Enrichment Programs

Our vibrant summertime program highlights:

Be completely immersed in one subject.
Concentrate on a favorite area of study.
Acquire new skills.
Take Advanced Placement classes in following years.
Pursue a class that is not offered during the year. Typically, classes are the equivalent of a full one-year course at Seton Hall Prep, though occasionally there are mini-courses offered as well.
Because classes meet so intensively for a short duration, no more than two absences are permitted for any reason.

Pirates Academy for Current 7th Graders

While providing a wealth of educational opportunities, The Pirates Academy will introduce students to many of our other activities in an enjoyable, rewarding environment. Whether developing a product on our 3D printers, preparing for the Math and English portions of our entrance exam, developing a lab in our state-of-the-art science wing, or working with one of our renowned Varsity coaches, our Pirates Academy students will experience tremendous learning.

The week-and-a-half program runs from late June to early July. Most days are 8:30 am - 2 pm with the exception of a one-day casual rafting trip down a small stretch of the Delaware River.

The Pirates Academy is open to all current 7th graders, but has a capped enrollment. See the Pirates Academy page to learn more about the program and register.

Please email David Snyder or Pete Durning if you have any questions regarding the Pirates Academy.

Offered Class for 2019

Spanish II H, Algebra II H, Geometry H, Precalculus H, Physics H, Intro to Western Philosophy.

Summer Enrichment last year at The Prep boasted one of the more robust sets of courses in quite some time. Approximately 10% of the school population elected to take one such course.

The summer offerings provide students with both the opportunity to “get ahead” in their studies, and also the chance to explore in a hands on situation.
