What is Collegiate Summer? 
Collegiate Summer combines academic preparation for high school with a variety of recreational activities. Rising 8th-graders will spend their mornings in the classroom and their afternoons immersed in hands-on activities and field trips.
 
Academic Preparation
Collegiate Summer keeps students’ minds engaged with exciting, innovative classes each morning. Taught by talented St. Joe’s faculty, classes cover topics including technology, science, reading, critical thinking, writing, and math.
 
Recreation
In the afternoon, students participate in group activities throughout our campus, including our outdoor athletic complex, the Cullen Center for the Arts, and more. A variety of activities are offered each day, including sports, board games, movies, model rockets, and art projects. Students are also provided with a schedule of guest speakers, entertainers, and optional field trips.
