Academics
WISE Summer Program
Online Summer Learning
The W.I.S.E. program (Westminster Interactive Summer Experience) offers an exciting array of online courses for high school students. From the study of the Vietnam War, to literature and algebra, from Spanish and Chemistry, to learning techniques and computer science, the courses are designed to prepare students for the coming school year as well as stimulate their curiosity and develop study skills which will help them in all their future academic pursuits.
Westminster faculty will offer a slate of tutorial-style, non-credit courses. Students will engage directly with faculty each day for an hour and will receive feedback on their independent work, with an overarching goal of improving their critical reading, writing, and verbal skills. In many instances, the courses can provide a preview of the coming year or prepare for a specific standardized test or essay.
Session III courses will be offered during a two-week period: July 27 - Aug. 7.
Class meetings take place online. The daily online meeting times will have flexibility, and the class teachers may provide a range of meeting times to help with planning purposes.
The complete course descriptions and a download link for the course catalog can be found on the right. Tuition is $900 per course. Those students who register before July 13 will receive a discounted tuition of $800. Regular registration ends July 20. Financial aid may be available for current Westminster students. Registration for each course will remain open until a week before the session begins, and the enrollment for a course is capped at eight students to maintain the tutorial experience.
