2016 Summer Program At Oxford

Warm weather can't come fast enough!

We're excitedly looking forward to this year's Summer Session at Oxford, which will take place from June 20th to July 22nd. As always, this five week program is great opportunity for students to catch up on credits, prepare for the upcoming school year, focus on specific subject areas, and have fun! Visit www.oxfordacademy.net to view an electronic version of our Summer Session Brochure for more details, see a few highlights below, and please give us a call or email with questions! We are also accepting applications for the Fall and will be hosting our Spring Informational Tour on Tuesday, May 17th.

For the second year, we're offering Cogmed with Caryl Frankenberger. This computer program sustainably improves working memory and attention. Students train daily, learn new strategies, and push the limits of their cognitive abilities. Common benefits include improvements in reading comprehension, problem solving, impulse control, organizing, social skills, attention, and confidence.

Offered through Pilot's Point Marina in Westbrook, interested students can take Sailing Lessons on a Colgate 26 sailboat. The lessons teach basic sailing and navigation, racing techniques, and tactics including spinnaker work. Three days a week, the 2.5 hour lessons are open to all, regardless of ability. In addition to sailing, Oxford also offers Tennis Lessons on campus.

Unlike most classes at Oxford, our summer Marine Biology course is taught in a small group of about six students. This hands-on course meets for one hour daily and takes advantage of the school's proximity to the Long Island Sound. Marine Biology is a great opportunity for experiential, collaborative learning. Check out the video of students hatching snapping turtles!

Oxford Academy specializes in working with young men ages 13 to 20 of average to superior intelligence through a college preparatory curriculum designed to meet their specific needs.
