The Mission
Each summer, La Salle hosts an academic enrichment program for rising seventh and eighth grade students. The mission of the program is to create a welcoming and inclusive community comprised of students, teachers, staff, and counselors who are dedicated to creating personal connections and fostering personal growth.
In addition to preparation in English and Math for the High School Placement Test, students attend classes in art and science. The day ends with a weekly themed class. This year’s themes include photography, debate, coding, and public speaking. 25 current La Salle scholarship winners attended the program, including the full scholarship winners from the Classes of 2022 and 2023. In addition, numerous girls have gone on to excel at local high schools, including all-female schools like the Mount and Gwynedd. We anticipate that the summer of 2022 will give us the opportunity to gather as a community each day – in person – with the goal of celebrating our community and fine-tuning our talents. We hope to count your rising seventh and eighth students among them this summer. The program is open to boys and girls.

Students then take classes in Math and English preparing them for the High School Placement Test. The second part of the day includes lunch and recreation. The afternoon finds students taking art or science, which rotate weekly, and they end the day with the weekly themed class. Below is a schedule for a typical day.

What is Included in the Overall Calendar?
How Do I Select the Proper Math Class for My Student?
It is important to know that all students will take a diagnostic math test before beginning the program. This diagnostic is used to place students in the appropriate math section. In addition to the diagnostic, we ask that parents select a math class for their student during registration. Having both the results of the diagnostic and the parental input allow us to place students in the correct section with a high degree of precision. Also, in the event a student is unable to take the math diagnostic before the program begins, the parental selection serves as a back up for placement.
The four options are as follows.
Math 7.1, Math 7.2, Math 8.1, Math 8.2
Choose Math 7.1 or 7.2 if your student will be a 7th grader during the 2021-22 school year. Choose 7.1 if they are in honors math, choose 7.2 if they are in a regular math class.
Choose Math 8.1 or 8.2 if your student will be an 8th grader during the 2021-22 school year. Choose 8.1 if they are in honors math, choose 8.2 if they are in a regular math class.
All math courses cover content related to the High School Placement Test (HSPT) and no one section is bound to certain curricular topics. The purpose of the sections, then, is to aid in the process of grouping students together of similar abilities. The advanced sections cover may start with more complex topics and advance at a faster pace, whereas the regular sections may review more basic elements of the HSPT and move at a slower pace.
Math topics include: fractions, ratios and proportions, decimals, percents, number manipulation, non-geometric comparisons, coordinate plane, geometry, surface area and volume, geometric comparisons, sequences, problem solving, linear equations, linear inequalities, statistics and probability.
Is Transportation Available?
Yes.
- Transportation for session one only (June 21 – July 1) - $225
- Transportation for session two only (July 12 – July 22 - $225
- Transportation for the full session (June 2 – July 22) - $400
Transportations requests must be submitted by 11:59 PM on Wednesday, June 8th, to be eligible to receive the service.
Every effort will be made to accommodate your transportation needs; however, this service is not guaranteed as it depends on a route’s viability and an area’s demonstrated need. If we are unable to provide transportation for you, you will receive a full refund.
You may be asked to drive your student to a common meeting point to facilitate transportation.
One-way transportation is not available.

La Salle College High School is excited to offer its original S.T.E.A.M. (science, technology, engineering, art, mathematics) Camp to students entering grades 5, 6, 7 and 8. This weeklong science camp is an experiential learning opportunity unlike any other. Each of the 5 full days of camp expose participants to an academically enriched interconnection between the S.T.E.A.M. disciplines. An exciting team challenge approach makes learning stimulating, engaging and fun. This year’s team challenge titled “Environmental Sustainability; Using Science to Live Greener” uses practical science to understand and apply the engineering challenges associated with energy consumption, recycling, and stewardship of our planet. As future scientifically minded leaders, it becomes more important than ever to learn to make choices that better tomorrow’s society. Daily activities include completing an assortment of hands-on tasks. Based heavily on the engineering-design process, the experience will incorporate various facets of data collection and analysis. Themes including energy use, robotics, drone technology, and coding will frame the week – no prior robotics/coding experience is necessary. Experimentation via the iterative design process will occur daily. A team approach to problem solving will be emphasized. Indoor and outdoor activities are planned. The use of La Salle’s environmental learning spaces, trails and fields will be utilized. Walking light to moderate distances will occurs daily.
