Welcome

Welcome to Centenary Summer Scholars!

Our summer programs are here to broaden the minds of young students. Introducing them to subjects that their schools might not offer to them, but which gives them the opportunity to experiment with classes to see if they would like to pursue it as a career.

Centenary caters to a diverse group of students from all over the country and the world. Our location makes us a scholastic resource and leader for summer academic endeavors. We are only 90 minutes away from New York City, and we have brought the art and culture of one of the greatest cities in the world to Centenary.

Centenary Summer is a residential-only co-ed academic program for rising 8th through 12th grade students. Located in Hackettstown New Jersey, Centenary College provides a rich learning experience in which students can make the most of their wonderful resources.

For the 2008 season, we offer 4 one-week sessions running from Sunday to Friday. Each session, we offer the 6 academic tracks listed on the opposite page. Within many of our academic tracks, we offer a variety of focus areas. Please refer to the course descriptions for further detail on these. Students may sign up for one or more sessions. Students attending multiple sessions may stay in the same course without repeating the curriculum, or may choose a new academic track. All sessions accept students at all levels.

Students attending multiple sessions also have the option of staying on campus between sessions. The weekend stay-over gives students a better chance to get to know the staff and campus, and includes fun and diverting activities and events. The additional fee charged for this service allows the program to provide uninterrupted supervision and fun. Students who live in the area are welcome to enjoy the comforts of home and return on the next Sunday, refreshed and ready to start a new session.
