The Governor's School of New Jersey is a tuition-free, residential opportunity that is being offered this upcoming summer. This is an excellent opportunity for high-achieving juniors who may be interested in a rigorous and demanding STEM summer residential academic program.

There will be two programs offered in the summer of 2019:

** Sciences at Drew University - The Governor's School in the Sciences broadens the scholars' appreciation and knowledge of science through exposure to a range of scientific topics and scientists. The program introduces scholars to a hands-on research experience in a student's area of interest through a series of courses, laboratories, projects, lectures, and other activities centered on math and science. Students benefit from working with professors in Drew University’s strong undergraduate science program, and they learn about possible career paths from the faculty and from some of New Jersey's leading industrial, governmental, and academic representatives

** Engineering and Technology at Rutgers University - An enrichment program of study in engineering and technology for students who possess outstanding skills and display unusual abilities and interests in these fields. The goal is to produce scholars to college-level topics across engineering disciplines using both coursework and hands-on experience while researching challenging and open-ended problems with peers who share their love for engineering and technology.

Wayne Valley is responsible for nominating two students for each school, and The Governor’s School will then select their applicants from that pool. Please return both your resume and the attached form to Miss Olson in Guidance by Friday, December 15 for consideration.

BU New England Center for Investigative Reporting

Now in its 10th year, the New England Center for Investigative Reporting helps students gain hands-on experience and develop personal networks to benefit them in college and beyond. Our Pre-College Summer Journalism Institute, based at the Boston University College of Communication, provides students an opportunity to improve their journalism skills and develop as storytellers.

Using the city of Boston as our news beat, students are assigned to newsrooms and work with award-winning journalists as their editors to cover different stories – entertainment, politics, sporting events, metro and investigations – in the Boston area. At the end of the two weeks, every student will have two to four articles to add to his or her professional portfolio.

Students have the option of living on campus to have the full Boston University Terrier life experience.

Our three, two-week workshops begin on June 25 and run through August 3. During each session, students will also attend guest lectures from experts and local journalists; visit historic sites and museums such as Fenway Park and the Museum of Fine Arts; participate in group community service; receive unofficial tours of local colleges, and more.

Research shows the importance of summer learning:

"On average, students lose approximately 2.6 months of learning in math over the summer — and teachers have to give up weeks of class time, or more, to make up for that loss." (link) "High-quality summer enrichment programs can help schools address summer learning loss. The Afterschool Alliance (2010) describes well-designed summer learning programs as those that increase achievement, enhance motivation for and engagement in learning, and develop and nurture new skills and talents."
