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.

Students on CampusStudents will not be permitted in the school building
prior to 7:30 am. Please do not drop your child off at the
school prior to 7:30 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.

include building and enhancing reading skills, phonemic
awareness, fluency, and decoding skills. Your child will
begin formal handwriting, learn to create full sentences,
and study capitalization and punctuation. Weekly spelling
words will help students create a word bank that will assist
them as they enter the world of writing complete and
meaningful sentences. Mathematical concepts such as
problem solving, operations, and number sense will be
taught using hands-on manipulatives, while students work
cooperatively on various activities. Additionally, the use of
Cuisinaire rods and snap cubes will enhance your child’s
number sense by making “numbers” come to life. Daily
enrichment activities such as art, computers, physical
education and music, will provide students with a dynamic,
integrated learning experience.

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

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.

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.

Faculty, English Department
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.
