During the academic year students\u00a0 attend two hours of class and two hours of study hall after school each week.\u00a0 Classes and study hall are held at Boston University.\u00a0 At the beginning of the fall and spring semester students select their class subject and![\"\"](\"\/ubms\/files\/2020\/05\/lab20ubms2-636x471.jpeg\")
study hall schedule.\u00a0 Afterschool classes include MCAS prep\u00a0 (ELA, Math, Biology, and Physics), SAT Prep (Math and Reading) and a Senior Workshop.\u00a0 Additionally, students participate in hands-on science and math classes during February and April school vacation weeks.\u00a0 Topics vary each year and have included:\u00a0 Robotics, Video Game Design, Green Chemistry, Green Business, Engineering, Astronomy,\u00a0 Geology, and Bio-statistics.<\/p>\n
During the summer students reside on the Boston University campus for 6-weeks (Sundays-Fridays).\u00a0 During this time they take 6 classes:\u00a0 Math (Algebra 1 – Calculus), Science (Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Anatomy & Physiology), Writing, Literature, Test Preparation or Lain, and Computer Science.\u00a0 In addition, Students participate in 1 full day lab course each week taught by BU faculty and graduate Students.\u00a0 Lab topics vary each summer and have included:\u00a0 Nanotechnology, Biotechnology, Green energy, Bio-statistics, Engineering, Astronomy,\u00a0 and Laboratory Biology.\u00a0 In the evening\u00a0students work on an additional science themed team project.<\/p>\n
Enrichment<\/h2>\n
During the summer program, each student participates in a weekly activity such as basketball, soccer, volley ball, arts & crafts, or strength and conditioning. Some summers students have also had the opportunity to participate in a Mock Trial, Yoga, and Self-Defence classes.<\/p>\n
Each summer as part of their literature classes students read a Shakespeare play and the program takes students to see a live performance of the play.<\/p>\n
Some summers conclude with an end of summer trip.\u00a0 Most recently teh programs visited Washington D.C. where students had the opportunity to visit The National Mall, White House, Georgetown University, and The Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. \u00a0The program also visited sites in New York City in 2016 and 2010 as well as Washington, DC in 2017.<\/p>\n
Other recent events have included: \u00a0international potlucks, summer field day, staff vs. student basketball, a Celtics game, bowling, horseback riding, kayaking, the ballet, the theater, Cirque du Soleil and college visits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
