Woodlands Academy of the Sacred Heart Opens Classes to Middleschoolers

Middle school students will be able to get into the high school learning action at Woodlands Academy of the Sacred Heart, the all-girls college prep high school in Lake Forest, which is expanding this year to include middle school students in some activities.

Girls entering grades six through eight in the fall can register to join in two of the enrichment classes, All-girls Shakesepeare Boot Camp and Service With a Smile, from June 20-July 1, according to a school news release.

Boot camp participants will explore and stage “The Tempest,” one of Shakespeare’s most enduring dramas, while Service With a Smile offers students a unique opportunity to work side-by-side, providing much-needed help to local non-profit organizations by volunteering at a different site each day.

Summer school classes are open to Woodlands Academy students or any female student in the appropriate grade, the release states.

The school is offering a semester of high school credit for classes in English, science, theology, fine arts, math and social studies June 13-July 1, the release states.

Taking a class for credit in the summer is a great way to free time for schedules in the regular school year, according to the release.

High school enrichment classes in ACT preparation, foreign languages, math and English are offered June 20-July 1, while sports camps for basketball, field hockey and volleyball will be hosted June 13-17 at Woodlands Academy, the release states.

For a complete listing of summer school classes and to register online, visit www.woodlandsacademy.org/summerschool. Registration and full payment must be received by Friday, May 6.

If registration does not meet minimum requirements (usually five students), the class will be canceled and all fees paid will be refunded.
