1. Academic Camps for Grades 7-12 (Boys) (Girls may only be enrolled as Day Students, sorry boarding is only available for Boys) MMA offers structured, success-oriented academic programs during the summer to enrich, educate and inspire young people and improve their confidence. *Camp Credit for Boys and Girls Grades 9-12 Our for-credit academic camp allows students to earn credit while simultaneously honing their subject knowledge and study skills. Courses are small to allow teachers to work closely with each student, maximizing their experience. Camp Credit is designed especially for high school students wishing to take a makeup or enrichment course. The afternoons and weekends offer opportunities for students to relax and to participate in activities that reinforce their confidence and academic focus. Students build academic skills as well as friendships and self-confidence. A guided study hall takes place nearly every evening with camp faculty present to assist with study time and homework. Both boys and girls are welcome in each of the camps however we will limit the enrollment of girls to that of a day or commuter student, no boarding. Available courses (students choose one): Algebra I Algebra II Biology I Chemistry English I English II Geometry Spanish *Camp Core Skills for Boys and Girls Grades 7-8 This integrated approach to education covers key academic skills and knowledge in math, science and reading. Students are taught using the best methods for middle school-aged students, engaging them in hands-on, interactive projects throughout the day. After class and on weekends, students are involved in fun activities that challenge their abilities. An evening guided study hall is conducted under the supervision of a teacher who can also assist students with their work.
