Parents may select up to 4 course and camp offerings

throughout the day. While there is some crossover in the early

afternoon, generally speaking academic classes meet from

8:30-10:20 and from 10:40-12:30. Enrichment seminars and

athletic camps generally meet from 1-2:55 and from 3:05-5:00.

Students and parents may choose from grade-specific English

courses, various math courses, various Spanish language

courses, and some enrichment options like Speech and Debate

as well as Robotics. In the case of math courses, students

must first register for the appropriate grade-level offering.

Students may then request access to an online adaptive testing

mechanism to test into more advanced curricular offerings

like Algebra 1, Geometry, and Algebra 2. Please contact Rod

Theodule at [email protected] for access to our adaptive

testing options.

The afternoon includes some repeat options in terms of

Robotics, but also introduces a whole new set of camps like

improvisation, art exploration, baseball, basketball, cross

country, football, lacrosse, water polo and wrestling. Please

see the course catalogue to review our robust options and to

determine the best schedule for your child’s personal needs.

In an effort to keep all students safe and supervised, we

cannot allow students to have gaps in their schedules. So, if

your student registers for periods 1 and 3, we require that they

also register for period 2. This allows us to ensure the safety

and oversight of your child throughout the day. We ask that

students be dropped off no earlier than 30 minutes prior to

their first selection and be picked up no later than 15 minutes

after their last selection.

Bellarmine Summer School provides a wide range of courses that will engage and challenge students from middle school through high school. We believe in creating a series of experiences directed to help each student become “men and women for others.” The curriculum is designed to give students an opportunity to explore topics and ideas that they might not have mastered or been exposed to during the academic school year. The Sports Camp program provides students with fun, yet challenging, experiences on the field. We look forward to working with your child this summer.

High School classes are available for all students – boys and

girls – who have completed the 8th grade. Like our Middle

School counterpart, academic classes generally meet from 8:30-

10:20 and from 10:40-12:30. Enrichment seminars and athletic

camps generally meet from 1-2:55 and from 3:05-5:00. On the

academic side, we have a host of remediation, advancement,

and preview options to facilitate the success of your child no

matter the academic circumstances they face and no matter

which local high school they call home: the Bellarmine Summer

Program is open to all local students.

The only restriction is that we cannot offer transcript credit to

students who have not yet completed the 9th grade. So, as an

example, your rising 9th grader may opt to take Chemistry 1A

as a preview option, but we will not provide that student with

credit and we will not send a transcript to the home school. The

only exception is Accelerated Geometry for rising 9th Graders.

For this course, transcript credit is avaliable for rising 9th

graders. Some specifically-targeted classes may be available for

credit to incoming Bellarmine 9th graders only. Matriculating

9th graders should refer to the “Advancement Guide” to identify

those specific courses.

In the case of rising 10th, 11th, and 12th graders, guest

students may opt to register for credit and to identify which

school should receive their transcript. Students should register

through the normal online mechanism and then complete

the credit request form that we will distribute in week 5 of the

Summer Program. Bellarmine students will be able to make a

similar decison in week 2.In an effort to keep all students safe

and supervised, we cannot allow students to have gaps in their

schedules. So, if your student registers for periods 1 and 3, we

require that they also register for period 2. This allows us to

ensure the safety and oversight of your child throughout the

day. We ask that students be dropped off no earlier than 30

minutes prior to their first selection and be picked up no later

than 15 minutes after their last selection.

In order to receive transcript credit a student taking a 5 credit

academic class cannot miss more than 3 days and a student

enrolled in a 10 credit accelerated academic class cannot miss

more than 1 day of class.

Physical Education once per week: all benefit from the Physical Education release time. As published by U.S. News and World Report, “research suggests

that regular physical activity may actually improve academic performance, the Institute of Medicine noted. For instance, aerobic fitness is linked to

working memory and problem solving.” The Physical Education time period gives math students the opportunity to exercise and refresh mentally prior to

returning to academic pursuits. Bellarmine College Preparatory’s Department of Fitness and Health is designed to help students become keenly aware of

life-long physical fitness, health, nutrition and wellness; our Summer School equivalent for middle school students is taught by the Chair of the Bellarmine

Department of Fitness and Health and operates with the same mission.

To obtain course credit, a student may not miss more than one day of this class. There are no exceptions to the attendance policy. Accelerated Algebra 2 is a UC/CSU-approved course.

Bellarmine students considering Accelerated Algebra 2 please note: this course is meant for well-qualified, current Bellarmine students (not incoming freshmen). Because of its pace and rigor, Accelerated Algebra 2 is recommended only for students who earned an A- or better in Algebra 1 or Accelerated Algebra 1; earned an A- or better in Geometry, or a B- or better in Geometry Honors. For Bellarmine students, Accelerated Algebra 2 is a for-credit Bellarmine course. A Bellarmine student’s Accelerated Algebra 2 grade will be included in his official Bellarmine transcript, and count towards his GPA. Off-transcript enrollment is not allowed. Bellarmine students may drop the course up until the end of the third week without penalty. After the end of the third week, a drop will result in a W on the student’s Bellarmine transcript. There is no refund for a dropped course. Please also note the following course advancement policy for Bellarmine students based on the Accelerated Algebra 2 Course Grade: A- or better placed in Pre-Calculus Honors; at least a B- but less than an A- placed in Pre-Calculus Regular; at least a C- but less than a B- placed in Student Option*: Algebra 2 Regular, Algebra 2 Honors, or Semester Math Elective; less than a C- placed in Algebra 2 Regular. *Students decide under the advisement of counselor and teacher.
