 | Eliot Summer Academy Summer 2012
The Eliot Summer Academy is a summer academic program for middle and high school students offered on the campus of Mary Institute and St. Louis Country Day School (MICDS). The program is named in honor of the school’s founder, William Greenleaf Eliot, a visionary thinker who sought to provide opportunities for young people to enrich themselves and excel academically. The Summer Academy aims to do the same, challenging and invigorating students with a variety of courses of study during the summer months.
The Eliot Summer Academy consists of classes designed to be review, enrichment, or replacement oriented. Review courses are intended not only to help students transition between coursework levels, but perhaps also make up a course or catch up and redo work. Enrichment courses offer something new and may help students prepare for the next school year. Replacement courses are offered for MICDS credit and may help students open up their schedule for other options or electives during the academic year.
COURSES MARKED WITH (G) ARE GRADED AND ELIGIBLE FOR MICDS CREDIT.
COURSES MARKED WITH (E) ARE ENRICHMENT.

"Kate and William both enjoyed the ethics class. I am glad they took it over the summer because it gave them a taste of upper school and the timing gave us an opportunity to have more focused family discussion around the topics discussed in class. Great experience all around!"
