About us…..

Westerly School prides itself on igniting a passion for knowledge by focusing its curriculum on real world experiences and hands-on learning.

We extend our approach to our summer program as we engage students by cultivating a strong sense of self and confidence, amidst rich instruction and application.

Our program is uniquely customized to meet the

needs of your family. We offer three separate two-week sessions of mornings filled with core subjects featuring exciting hands on projects and afternoons

comprised of activities for all interests. Additionally, we close our summer with three recreation weeks jam-packed with games, arts and crafts, water-play, performing arts, and exciting field trips.

Join us for the full ten weeks or pick and choose the session(s) that work for you. We pride ourselves on tailoring a program that works best for your

family. Our qualified teachers and experienced coaches go to great lengths to help enhance your child’s summer.

The friendly prices combined with qualified staff and Westerly’s beautiful, private campus provides a perfect combination for the most exciting

Things to know:

Session 1, 2, & 3 Enrichment Classes

Grades 2 – 5

Beginning Paths: K - 1Come explore and learn in a thematic environment that immerses primary students in Language Arts, Math, Science and more as they travel around the globe. This class encompasses all subject areas and prepares students for the routines and expectations of kindergarten and first grade. This is a full morning course and students do not transition to any other class. Creative play, music and crafts are all incorporated to ignite your child’s curiosity and intellect.

The following project-based courses will contain a different point of emphasis each session. These descriptions are a general outline and will slightly vary based upon the grade being taught.

Young Authors

Wild & Wacky Science

The only thing better than picking up a great book to read, is picking up a great book that you wrote yourself. This class will stimulate the writing process by allowing students to create their own storybook. Students will discuss the parts that make up a story, create their own storyboard, walk through the editing process, act as an illustrator and publish a final product.

The best way to understand science is to touch it, smell it, see it and hear it. Explore the earth’s most powerful forces using soil, leaves, rocks, water and more. Put physics to the test! Experiment with acids and bases and create cool chemical reactions. Each day we will uncover the secrets of science by doing our own experiments.

Anatomy of the Athlete

Calling all Engineers

Documentary Film

Rock Band

Get ready for hands on classroom experience exploring how the body and mind of the athlete works. Learn first hand the inner workings of the super star athletes you see on television. What they eat, how their muscles work, what exercises they do, and so much more. Students will not only learn how to eat like a champion, practice like a star and perform like a pro, but they will also learn the anatomical process of each. Course includes field and classroom time.

The demand for a strong foundation in both mathematics and science is growing rapidly in today’s world. This class is designed to combine the subjects with critical thinking and problem solving skills in order to help foster the growth of our future engineers. Egg Drop challenge and Soda-Bottle Rocket building are two highlighted projects amongst many others.

Students go beyond “behind the scenes” and instead “create the scenes” in this hands-on filmmaking class. From interviewing, videotaping, editing and more, each student will be involved with the film process from start to finish. Join us as we create a documentary made entirely by the students.

Drum Circle Jam Musicians will explore percussion instruments and how individual rhythms can join together to create a very powerful ensemble sound - the whole being much more than the sum of the parts. Students will learn to lead percussion ensembles by distributing and demonstrating proper names and playing position of each instrument, explain specific rhythm parts, use gestures and eye contact to conduct tempo/dynamics/ entrances/endings, and be able to redirect the players if the tempo drifts.

6th – 8th Collaboration and Service Learning ProgramAbout us…..

A new and unique program added to the Summer with Westerly

experience designed to teach students relevant skills needed in today’s ever changing world, while fostering an appreciation for civic responsibilities and strengthening of community.

6th, 7th and 8th grade students will have two weeks to collaborate and

implement a service project in the Long Beach area. The idea for the project will be student generated and operated under the dedicated eye of our experienced teaching staff. This program uses community service as the platform to instill these valuable skills for the future leaders of tomorrow.

• Effective Written and Oral Communication• Critical Thinking and Problem Solving• Collaboration• Adaptability• Initiative and Entrepreneurialism• Accessing and Analyzing information• Curiosity and Imagination

Throughout the program students will also have the opportunity to interact with guest speakers from throughout the community, have open discussions

about the principles of leadership, learn how to run an effective meeting, and other career aligned skills.
