Empire Summer Program
The Empire ESYP will provide scholars with a wide array of enriched and entertaining program choices during the Summer of 2023!
This secondary program is available to rising scholars in grades 9 - 12 attending the following schools: Meadow Hill Global Explorations Magnet School, Temple Hill Academy, Heritage Middle School, South Middle School, Newburgh Free Academy Main, Newburgh Free Academy North, and Newburgh Free Academy West. The STEM Program at Black Rock Forest is also open to scholars in grades 3 - 9.
Grade 6 - 8 middle school programs with be offered exclusively at South Middle School and all grades 9 - 12 high school programs will be at NFA North with the exception of the Black rock STEM Program at Black Rock Forest (grades 3 - 9) and TEAM Survival Science with Clarkson University at Denning's Point, Beacon, NY (grades 6 - 8).
Overall, the ESYP program will run for five days a week for four weeks. However, some Empire programs may be offered for less than this time. Some programs may be offered for a week, two weeks, etc.. Programs are scheduled from 9:00 AM to 1:30 PM, with the exception of Black Rock Forest which is 8:30 AM to 1:30 PM and Denning's Point (8:30 AM -1:30 PM). Transportation and school meals will be available. School provided transportation is highly recommended for programs at Black Rock Forest and Denning's Point.
Please note: if a scholar's grade promotion is in doubt, for example, attendance in the academic recovery programs at the middle school or high school will take priority over attending the Empire enrichment programs.
The following are the tentative enrichment programs to be offered this summer, pending available staff and scholars' enrollment:
