The School Year Continues
|
We celebrated graduation last week, but the school year continues for our remaining students. Rising 7th and 8th graders left on Monday, June 5 for a two-week, residential summer camp in the Blue Ridge mountains of Pennsylvania. This is a perfect time to experience nature, enjoy free-play, and build the bonds of brotherhood that make the Academy experience so unique.

Our younger students, rising 6th graders, will enjoy a one-week day camp at the Academy. Their days will include academic courses, arts and crafts, and, as always, athletics and free-play. We are lucky to have Academy alums on staff this summer to help teach and nurture our students.

"At St. Ignatius, I was taught organization, respect, social skills, time management, and most importantly, how to be a 'Man for Others'. I have experienced three of the best years of my life here at the Academy."
