Summer Programs

Facilities – Second to None

Located on 68 acres in Livingston, New Jersey, Newark

Academy offers students a full campus experience. A

brand new academic center, the McGraw Arts Center,

the Simon Family Field House (including indoor pool),

dedicated fencing and wrestling gymnasiums, two artificial

turf fields, an on-site cross-country course and multiple

other outdoor sports facilities – combine to provide

students with ample spaces for intense academic work

and dynamic athletic experiences. All Summer Session

classrooms are air-conditioned.

The Schedule – Flexible, By Design

Newark Academy’s summer programming is designed to

meet a wide range of needs – from the student desiring

a single course to students and families seeking a full day

of programming that includes academics, arts and sports.

The Summer Program is offered over six weeks, from

June 22 through July 31, 2015. Many of the academic

courses of the Summer Session run the full six-week

period, while enrichment courses and NA Summer Sports

offer programs of shorter duration.

There’s Something for Everyone!

For more than 40 years, Newark Academy has been the premier source in

northern New Jersey for educational and athletic summer programming.

The highly-respected Summer Session provides interested students with an

unparalleled summer academic experience including advance credit, enrichment

and skill development courses. The strength of NA’s Summer Session is a talented

faculty, committed to helping students develop a passion for learning.

Similarly, Newark Academy’s summer athletic offerings have a long, respected

history. Home of the renowned Mott-Leeney Baseball Camp, now in its 47th year,

Newark Academy brings together state-of-the-art athletic facilities and experienced,

dedicated coaches to provide young athletes with an array of experiences from

skill acquisition to championship-level team play.

respective schools.

Preview Courses are two-hour courses designed for students who want substantial exposure to courses they

will take in the fall. Preview courses are offered in math

and science, and allow students to consider taking another

two-hour course in the summer session. They meet June 22

to July 31, two hours daily for a total of 60 hours. Students in

preview courses will cover approximately half of the entire

course material over a six-week period. Students who

Students on CampusStudents will not be permitted in the school building

absences will not be eligible to have a transcript sent

from Newark Academy. If they are absent, students enrolled

in advance credit courses are responsible for making

up the material and the work that was covered during

their absence.

Academic IntegrityNewark Academy strives to develop critical thinking and

analytical writing skills throughout its curricula. Consequently,

when a student signs his or her name to an assignment or

assessment, the expectation and the understanding is that

all work submitted is original or that the source from which

the ideas or text have been taken is clearly identified. A

student involved in an incident of academic dishonesty may

be dismissed from Summer Session.

Final ExamsAll students enrolled in an advance credit class are

required to take a final exam. A student will not be issued

a final grade if he or she does not take the final exam in a

120-hour course.

Electronic DevicesThe use of cell phones and text messaging by students is

restricted to the outdoors. If a cell phone goes off in class,

a teacher will take the phone and bring it to the office.

Personal computers may be used only for school-related

movies on their computers at Newark Academy. The use

of mobile devices during a class is not allowed without

Introduction to Philosophy

July 6 - July 10

In a society marked by economic instability, citizens often

areas of philosophy will be covered: Ontology (What exists?),

Epistemology (What can we know?), Ethics (How should

we behave?), Aesthetics (What is beautiful?), and Existentialism

(What is life’s meaning?). Important thinkers in each of

these categories will provide reading for consideration.

NEW Genius and Insanity

Grades 10 -12

July 13 - July 17

1:00 - 4:00 pm

Tuition: $300

We do not need to look far today to see our culture’s

fascination with genius and insanity. Both states of mind

require that an individual see or express things in a way

that others do not. Looking primarily at literature, but also

at film, music, the visual arts and several clinical essays,

we will explore the sometimes permeable line between

the two states of mind.

our reading experience. We will consider how characters

are shaped or tested in different settings, and the extent to

which we are products of our environment. The class will

cover fictional locales, films, reporting and travel writing,

while employing photo-journalism, creative writing, and

essay writing to evoke a sense of place.

NEW Introduction to Law

Grades 9 -10

June 22 - June 26

1:00 - 4:00 pm

Tuition: $300

The law is everywhere. It protects the rights of citizens to

speak freely, empowers the police to arrest criminals, and

allows those who have been injured to seek compensation

for the damages they have suffered. Indeed, it's nearly

impossible to watch TV, go shopping, or even drink water

without coming into contact with some aspect of the law. In

this course, students will examine concepts and cases that

define the American legal system. They will wrestle with

challenging real-world questions that lawyers and judges

face every day. In addition to exploring the foundations of

the law, three major areas of the law will be addressed:

Constitutional Law, Criminal Law, and Tort Law. Class

activities include reading and writing court opinions, trial

simulations, and debates.

self-testing, spacing, interleaving, mental modeling, and

educational techniques as well as the techniques themselves.

NEW The Zombie Survival Guide: Literary Edition

Grades 9 - 11

June 22 - June 26

1:00 - 4:00 pm

Tuition: $300

“A Zombie is raised by a disease, and has a single biological

imperative, which is to spread the virus by biting human

beings.” – Max Brooks on HistoryChannel.com

In May of 2011, the Center for Disease Control’s website

crashed when ten times the normal amount of weekly viewers

of the site attempted to look at one post at the same time. The

name of the post? Preparedness 101: Zombie Apocalypse.

So…zombies invaded the CDC. Literally. With origins in

Haiti, and symbolic values ranging from the evils of eugenics,

the blight of slavery, and the horrors of plagues, zombies

have captured the American imagination and suffused

popular culture for over a decade.

In this one-week course, we will read Brooks’ 2007 seminal –

and satirical – book World War Z: An Oral History of the

Zombie War, as well as selections from Colson Whitehead’s

2012 national bestseller Zone One, 2011’s Aim for the

Head: An Anthology of Zombie Poetry, and 2013’s Outbreak:

Visions of the Apocalypse to explore the seemingly undying

power of the zombie in literature.

Students will be required to keep a journal of their thoughts

while reading these various works, and will analyze a zombie

poem or short story.

Instructor: Elizabeth LaPadula, D.Litt., Newark Academy,


NEW Poetry Intensive

Grades 8 - 9

July 6- July 10

1:00 - 4:00 pm

Tuition: $300

“Discipline allows magic. To be a writer is to be the very best

of assassins. You do not sit down and write every day to force

the Muse to show up. You get into the habit of writing every

day so that when she shows up, you have the maximum chance

of catching her, bashing her on the head, and squeezing

every last drop out of her.” – Lili St. Crow, American author

This course is for people interested in improving their poetic

discipline. By the end of the week, each student should

produce a minimum of five polished poems. How can we

accomplish this feat? Why, by disciplining ourselves, thus

becoming assassins of Euterpe (lyric poetry), Thalia

(comedy and pastoral poetry), Melpomene (tragedy),

Erato (love poetry), and/or Polyhymnia (sacred poetry)!

We will begin each day of this course by reading and

briefly discussing a selection of published poems. We will

then write individually, following prompts not given ahead

of time. The weeklong workshop will end with a tutorial on

how to appropriately submit poems to literary publications.

Instructor: Elizabeth LaPadula, D.Litt., Newark Academy,
