Waverly Summer Camp (Kindergarten-Sixth Grade)
Further Summer Enrichment Opportunities
Summer Rock Band Camp with Waverly Music Teachers Garrett Blackwell and Armaan Biviji
Hone your musical skills by joining a rock band! Practice collaborating with others to create, rehearse, and perform. This one-week camp will conclude with a concert that family and friends are invited to attend. Students will pick instruments of their choice, build a set list of songs, pick a band name, and rock out in a week-long band camp! No prior instrumental or music experience is required.
This is a great opportunity for your child to further develop their musicality through cooperation and creativity, and most importantly: to have a good time!

Math Acceleration Opportunities
These courses will provide credit for Waverly students. If your child is not enrolled at Waverly, please contact your child’s school before registering to learn what is required to receive credit. Each school maintains their own policies for acceleration and credit. Transcripts will be sent to schools upon request.
Geometry — Whole Year Credit Course
June 17-July 19 (no classes on June 19, July 4, or July 5)
Monday to Friday
8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
This course will cover the entirety of the Waverly Geometry curriculum, emphasizing logic, reasoning, exploration, and problem solving through the memorization of formulas, postulates, and theorems. Although classical proofs are very much a part of this class, the thought process behind the proof is emphasized above the systematic structure. Math skills are continually practiced and reinforced. The unity of geometry and algebra is emphasized. The approach of the text and supplementary materials is multidisciplinary and experiential. Geometric applications are explored in areas of art, music, history, and, of course, physical, and biological sciences. Much of the course involves deriving important principles through cooperative explorations. (Prerequisite: Algebra I)
Course fee: $1,000 per student

Algebra II — Whole Year Credit Course
June 17-July 19 (no classes on June 19, July 4, or July 5)
Monday to Friday
1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.
This course will cover the entirety of the Waverly Algebra II curriculum. This course carefully builds on the sequential approaches to content and learning begun in the preceding texts in the AWSM series. The sequence from variables to equations to functions is extended to using functions as models for a number of applied settings. Geometric and algebraic concepts are extended and connected to topics in probability and statistics, trigonometry, and discrete mathematics. (Prerequisites: Algebra I and Geometry)
