Summer Enrichment Program

About the Eagle Prep Summer Enrichment Program
St. Edmund Prep’s Summer Enrichment Program provides a unique and exciting opportunity for rising 6th, 7th, and 8th graders to enjoy fun, hands-on activities while learning about topics and ideas in which they are interested. Our young Eagles can choose from two topics for each of the three sessions in the day. Each day students will learn about dynamic concepts and engage in fun lessons taught by knowledgeable SEP teachers. We believe that young minds should be challenged with engaged learning environments, opportunities to grow their faith and character and opportunities to be creative and innovative all while learning how to be a servant leader. Sign up today to meet new friends, learn about a wide range of exciting topics, and have an amazing two-week experience. 
 
Teaching Staff
Each topic will be taught by a member of SEP’s outstanding faculty and staff. Each instructor is highly educated, skilled, and knowledgeable in both the background of each topic and best practices of teaching and engaging students. Classes will be small, and students will be provided group and individualized instruction.
