Summer School Academic Classes

Marymount's 2021 Summer School are currently scheduled to take place remotely through Zoom. Class schedules, attendance, and other policies will remain the same. It is possible that we will be able to offer a hybrid model over the summer where students may have the option to attend some classes on campus. If this happens, students will still have the option to attend class remotely through Zoom. We will continue to update you regarding these plans.

Marymount's 2021 Virtual Summer School is a five-week program that will begin on Monday, June 14 and end on Friday, July 16. Classes will take place Monday through Thursdays, with Friday as a day for asynchronous work. Because we will observe the Independent Day holiday on Monday, July 5, there will be classes on Friday, July 9.

Creative Writing

This class will explore all elements of creative writing, with particular emphasis on beginnings and endings. How do we take the beginning of a story—a great idea for a crazy character, an exciting event, or a cool concept—and shape them into a cohesive and complete story? We’ll learn how to utilize language, structure, and characterization so our ideas transform into sharp and compelling stories. We’ll discuss other basic tenets of creative writing including dialogue and setting, and we’ll find ways to think critically about our own and published writing, too. Readings of published fiction, non-fiction, and poetry will supplement our discussions of students’ work. We will complete various writing exercises in addition to, or as the start of, a promising project for each student. No prior writing experience is necessary for this course.

This course does not fulfill the admission recommendation. If you were recommended to enroll in a summer writing course, please select "From Good to Great: Writing with Confidence at Marymount" course.

These short videos offer helpful information on setting up your laptop, backing up your files, customizing your laptop, an overview of applications installed, and helpful laptop features and abilities for students. Students may always contact the Tech Department with any technology related questions or concerns by emailing [email protected]

Summer Athletic Programs

This Summer, Marymount will be holding athletic practices for our student/athlete. The practices are geared towards those students who are interested in playing on a Marymount team next year. If your daughter is currently enrolled in Marymount or is an incoming student, she is invited to register and attend any and/or all of the team practices. Students from 8th grade and above are invited to register our Fitness Camp offered this summer.
