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, including 13 new classrooms
and spacious commons areas, await students for the 2013
Summer Session. The McGraw Arts Center, the Simon
Family Field House (including indoor pool), dedicated
fencing and wrestling gymnasiums, Kacur Field (artificial
turf), an on-site cross-country course and multiple other
outdoor sports facilities – together, these facilities provide
students 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 24 through August 2, 2013. (NOTE: Mott-Leeney

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 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 45th 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

Advance credit courses meet June 24 to August 2, four
hours daily for a total of 120 hours and are for students
seeking to further their academic studies in the summer.
These courses are equivalent in rigor and content to
full-year programs at Newark Academy. Students can take
advance credit courses for enrichment, or with their
school’s approval, transfer the course for credit at their
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 24
to August 2, 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 wish to preview a specific math subject for less than
six weeks should enroll in the Math Clinic.
Enrichment courses for older students, such as writing
and literature workshops, are offered June 24 to August 2,
two hours daily for a total of 60 hours. Enrichment courses
for younger students focus on developmental work in the
critical areas of reading, English, math, science and study
skills. These courses are offered in various time slots and
on various dates. See information in course descriptions.

three weeks.
NEW Arts Experience courses provide opportunities
for both novice and experienced artists to engage in the
creative process over the summer. Students in Arts
Experience courses will try their hand at a number of
different media, while artists enrolled in the Portfolio
Seminar will spend their time assembling a mature body of
work. Starting at three weeks in length, these workshops
are taught by talented and passionate artists who provide
feedback and support to every artist in the program. All
classes will take place in the McGraw Arts Center.
NEW Sports Experience courses offer students the
opportunity to develop their sports skills for individual
sports, while improving their overall physical fitness.
Starting at three weeks in length, these courses can be
paired with academic offerings to enrich both the body
and the mind. Sports experience courses will be taught
in one-week units and require no prior experience.

Students on CampusStudents will not be permitted in the school building
prior to 7:15 am. Please do not drop your child off at the
school prior to 7:15 am, as there will not be proper adult
supervision until that time. Please note that students
enrolled in our Jump Start program must be walked into
their classroom. All students must depart campus within
30 minutes of completing their final enrolled class. No
students are allowed in the building after 3:00 pm unless
they are enrolled in a specialized workshop. Specific
details about student conduct on campus are available
in the General Information section of this brochure.
Absences Parents should notify the office if their child will be absent
from class. Although missing any class time puts students at
a distinct disadvantage in an accelerated course, students
taking advance credit courses are permitted two absences
or a total of eight hours of class time. Students with excessive
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
work. Students are not allowed to play games or watch
movies on their computers at Newark Academy. The use
of mobile devices during a class is not allowed without
expressed permission of the classroom teacher.
