De Paul Academy (grades 7-9)
The De Paul Academy is a series of one-week, distance learning courses for motivated students entering the 7th, 8th, and 9th grades. Each ten hour, one-week course is designed for students to work independently with SHC instructors with a maximum of of two hours spent online daily. Enrollment in each course is limited to 15-20 participants to ensure optimal engagement.
These courses are specifically designed for students to explore exciting topics not typically offered at their grade level, and to learn with others who share a similar intellectual curiosity.
Please note that these courses are NOT for students interested in traditional grade level reinforcement or grade recovery. Students must be motivated to learn in a project-based environment in order to have a meaningful experience in the De Paul Academy.
Cost Per Course: $150*
*Please note that some courses may have an additional cost of $25-$50 for supplies not included in the registration price. Supply lists will be communicated at least two weeks prior to the start of each course. Students must have access to a computer with a working camera, microphone and access to Wi-Fi.
Below is a list of our 2020 courses.
To ensure a positive summer experience, we ask that students and parents review our Summer Institute Code of Conduct together.
