Barnhart School Summer Program 2015
At schools everywhere across the Greater Los Angeles Area, parents, teachers, and students alike are getting ready for their final terms of the year before the rush of the summer months. The ending of another school year marks preparation time for final projects, tests, and presentations. It also marks an opportunity for parents to begin thinking about how best to utilize the approaching break to ensure their children stay sharp, and are best prepared for life in a new grade. Picking out the right summer program from the sea of choices available can be challenging, but the highly experienced academic and extracurricular team at Barnhart School are offering a comprehensive and affordable summer program that any child will enjoy and that parents are sure to appreciate. 
The 2015 Barnhart School Summer Session has something for everyone, and is now enrolling. From full day summer camp sessions, to academic enrichment courses, this fully featured, renowned program is designed to stimulate, challenge, and captivate, and is open to all. Formed out of a Barnhart tradition of excellence that is well known and valued in the local community, this exciting program prides itself on its ability to provide a wide range of outstanding options to appeal to any child, no matter what their interests may be. Parents of program participants are able to enjoy the comfort of knowing that their child is being cared for by a team of dedicated specialists and educators who are committed to providing a warm and friendly environment that is mentally engaging and—most importantly—always fun. LEGO robotics, music ensemble, video game design, soccer camp, pre-algebra, and ceramics are only a handful of the many exciting opportunities offered by the 2015 Barnhart School Summer Session. 
Participants will be empowered to pursue and develop their own interests while instructors foster their passions through individually focused, hands-on engagement. Barnhart believes that children are at their best and most able to learn and develop when they are able to express themselves fully in an environment that rewards experimentation and critical thinking. This program embodies these principals to create a positive atmosphere of growth.
The Barnhart Summer Program is divided into two, three-week sessions and two summer camp weeks in order to maximize sign up opportunities and remain flexible with your schedule.
