Summer Academy

St. Benedict Religious Education - Summer Academy Program for Grades 1 – 7. (PLEASE NOTE: 8th Grade (final Confirmation Prep) is not offered during Summer Academy.)  This is a one week highly educational, yet fun-filled experience with the students attending Monday –Thursday from 8:45am –2:45pm & Fri. 8:45-1pm. (Aftercare will be available from 2:45-5pm, daily (1-5pm on Friday.) Please complete & return the EDP form if interested by June 1, 2025.)
  
The weeklong Summer Session is supplemented for all grades by attendance at a minimum of four (4) Family Day (Grades 1-6) or CYO (Grade 7) events during the regular 2025-26 school year.  There is also a mandatory service component involved, as follows:

• 6 Graders will be responsible for a total of  5 service hours. 
• 7 Graders will be responsible for a total of 10 service hours.
• 8 Graders will be responsible for a total of 10 service hours.  

 The Summer Academy Program is offered with the understanding that the Church considers the parents to be the primary educators of their children, and that faith formation is taught together with the Parish.  Parents agree to model a faith life at home, attend Mass and holy days on a regular basis and attend the family catechetical required family days. Space is limited in each session (Usually a maximum of 30 students per grade, per session). All sessions are in-person. 
At this time, online registration is closed.  In order to prepare for Week 1 of Summer Academy, please get any registration requests into our office before June 30.  Any inquiries coming in after June 30th will not be processed until July 10, 2025.  We appreciate your cooperation and patience. Thank You.
