Registration for Immaculate Heart Middle School’s summer school program is open to girls entering the fourth through eighth grades.

The 2020 session runs from June 15 through July 10 and offers over 25 academic, enriching and creative courses. The offerings include one-week, two-week and four-week classes covering subjects and activities ranging from computer programming to salsa dancing and creative filmmaking.

A new class offered this year is sewable electronics, in which students will learn to combine crafts, fashion and technology as they customize bracelets and clothing with LEDs powered by carefully-sewn conductive thread.

“Summer is the most beautiful time at Immaculate Heart,” Middle School Principal Gina Finer said. “This program is a wonderful way for the girls to get a feel for our school and our faculty, and to meet students from all over the city. They come in every morning with smiles on their faces and leave the same way. We can’t ask for more than that.”

Founded in 1906, Immaculate Heart High School and Middle School educates young women in grades 6-12 on its campus at 5515 Franklin Ave. The deadline to register for summer school is Friday, May 22. For information and a catalog of courses, visit immaculateheart.org/page/academics/summer-school.
