The days are getting longer and summer is getting closer! Do you have plans yet?! We still have seats open in a few classes and are excited to have been able to add a couple new ones.

The RC's Summer Program provides an intensive, inspirational and in-depth learning experience for students who are ready and prepared to take on the challenge. We offer a rich variety of math, science, literature, philosophy, and writing classes. Class size is small, with a faculty who are experienced teachers and specialists in their fields.

The Summer Challenge program, for 5-6th grade students, runs July 10th through July 28th, M-F from 9:00-2:20pm.
The Summer Stretch program, for 7-10th grade students, runs June 28th through July 27th, MTTH, 9:00-2:20pm.

  • The first two weeks, classes will be held on WTHF.
