Get ahead on your coursework with our teachers this summer.
Math Courses
Summer math courses allow students to progress in the math curriculum. All sessions will be off June 19 in observance of Juneteenth as well as July 3 and 5 for the Fourth of July holiday. Register here. Incoming freshmen should wait until after they get their results from the Math Placement Exam on May 11 or May 16 before they register. Please register by the end of May as the summer director will be out of the country and may not be able to send out information about attending classes after you have registered.
Classes will meet 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM from June 12 - July 21.
Students will be assigned their on-campus days, either Mon./Wed./Fri. or Tue./Thu.
On the days that students are not on campus, they are still able to access all of their material onGoogle Classroom. The expectation is they will work through that material on their own time muchlike they would a homework assignment during the regular school year.
Testing to demonstrate mastery of a topic will be completed on-campus.
Tuition: $125 per topic, up to four topics. Each topic in this course takes approximately one week to complete. You can register for more topics once your student has completed their first registration of topics.
Incoming 9th-grade students who are placed into Algebra 1 based on their placement test resultsmay work on up to four topics in order to attain a mastery understanding of missing concepts.Incoming freshmen should wait until after they get their results from the Math Placement Exam before they register.Per Topic instruction begins June 12 for incoming Freshmen. Incoming Froshstudents may begin taking Geometry topics once they have completed Algebra 1 coursework.
Head Start runs June 12 - 23 and will meet on campus Mondaythrough Friday.
During each session, there is only one time period available from 8:30-10:00 AM daily. The sessionwill be filled on a first-come-first-served basis. Once the slots are filled you will be placed on awaitlist.
Only students who have received prior approval for Head Start from the Math Dept. based onplacement results should register.
Classes will meet 8:30 - 10:00 AM from June 12 - July 21.
Students will be assigned their on-campus days, either Mon./Wed./Fri. or Tue./Thu.
On the days that students are not on campus, they are still able to access all of their material onGoogle Classroom. The expectation is they will work through that material on their own time muchlike they would a homework assignment during the regular school year.
Testing to demonstrate mastery of a topic must be completed on-campus.
Tuition: $125 per topic, up to four topics. (If you want to complete Trig you need teacher approval)
Details on which dates students will attend will be emailed the first week of June. These details willbe emailed to all registered families in June before classes begin.
Each topic takes approximately one week to complete. Students should receive approval of theirplanned topics from the Math Dept. before registering.
Students are encouraged to remediate a grade of D+ or below to remain eligible for admission to 4-year colleges. Any “F” grade earned in a non-elective course must be remediated to obtain a Carondelet High School diploma. Open to Carondelet students only.
June 12 - July 20; Monday - Thursday, 10:30 AM - 12:30 PM
Price: $100
Any “F” grade earned in a non-elective course must be remediated to obtain a Carondelet High School diploma.
Students are also encouraged to remediate a grade of D+ or below to remain eligible for admission to 4-year colleges.
Students will personally enroll in a recommended online course and receive support at school to stay organized and make sure they stay on track! This program is open to Carondelet students only. Students with a grade of an F are mandated to attend Supported Remediation at this time.
AP Bridge Courses are offered to current Carondelet students by invitation only. Registration links will be sent via email.
Monday, June 5 - Friday, July 21; Online, 4 required assessments administered in person
Tuition: $100
Open to Carondelet students only, by invitation from individual student counselors and Science department chair.
The AP Biology Bridge course is a study of life and covers a broad spectrum of topics including the structure and function of cells, biochemistry, genetics, evolution, and the interrelationships between all living things. The survey course builds upon the physics and chemistry principles covered in earlier science classes and will provide a foundation of understanding to enable success in AP Biology. Students must be prepared to engage with material independently and be eager to interact with classmates and faculty in a virtual environment.
The student will access the class on Schoology and complete 4 units of study. Each unit consists of video lessons for background and several written activities.Tests will be administered to assess progress through the curriculum. Completion of assessments must average to 90% for students to move to AP Biology when school starts in August. If students know they are not going to be able to reach that level of mastery, they should request a course transfer to Biology Honors before August 1, 2023 in order to earn a spot in Honors.
Prerequisites: Completion of Conceptual Physics and Chemistry and approval of Department Chair.
Monday, June 5 - Friday, July 21; ONline with several in-person meetings
Tuition: $100
Open to Carondelet students only by invitation from individual student counselors and Science department chair.
Topics for this class include atomic structure, electron arrangement in atoms, properties of gases, liquids and solids, stoichiometry, and acids and bases. This survey course builds upon the physics principles covered in earlier science classes and will provide a foundation of understanding to enable success in AP Chemistry. Students must be prepared to engage with material independently and be eager to interact with classmates and faculty in a virtual environment.Computer simulations are used to obtain, organize and analyze data. Conclusions are developed using both quantitative and qualitative information.
Prerequisites: Completion of Conceptual Physics and approval of Department Chair.
Students will complete Weeks 1 through 5 of the content.
A Carondelet faculty member will supervise discussion boards to answer questions posted to the weekly units via Schoology.
Four tests will be administered online to assess progress through the curriculum.
Completion of assessments must average to 90% for students to move to AP Chemistry when school starts in August. If students know they are not going to be able to reach that level of mastery, they should request a course transfer to Chemistry Honors before August 1, 2023 in order to earn a spot in Honors.
