Forget about avoiding the typical summer “brain drain,” what you and your family are looking to explore this summer are new topics, outstanding opportunities for engagement, immersive learning experiences, and academic advancement. Dwight-Englewood’s Summer Connections is the only place of its kind where kids can have access to world-class enrichment, premiere faculty, and a safe and nurturing environment, all located on their beautiful 45-acre campus just outside New York City.
With the opening of their new Hajjar STEM Center, coupled with world-class faculty and innovative approaches to curriculum design, the academic challenges of the Enrichment Program and the Scholars Program for high school students provide leading-edge opportunities for academic advancement. Their new Deep Dive Immersive programs provide experiential learning combined with close collaboration with master level faculty, and programs include: STEM Challenge, Entrepreneurs Academy, and String Society for students in grades 6 and up; a Young Visionaries Visual Arts program for students in grades 2 – 4, and a Mindfulness Retreat for students in grades 7 and up.
The early childhood Discoveries and elementary school Advertures programs give the youngest campers an imaginative and joyous experience through thematic exploration of literature, sports, science, and nature.
Programs are typically one to two weeks and if you have multi age kids, D-E can be your one-stop solution. Also, D-E Summer Connections can be part of your ongoing education too! D-E 360° offers open-enrollment courses for enrichment, advancement, or for credit. Courses are designed to be multidisciplinary in nature offering learning across a variety of disciplines for different age groups, including adults.
Open Houses for the Summer Connections Program will be held on March 5 and April 16 between 1 - 3 pm in Hajjar Auditorium at Dwight-Englewood School. If you’re unable to attend either event and wish to see the campus, please call the Summer Connections office at (201) 227-3144 to schedule a tour.
