Newton Community Education Summer Programs

Posted on May 18, 2012 by admin in Community Notes, Summer
Think Summer with NCE
Summer Kids & Teens programs with Newton Community Education are filling fast! But we still have openings in lots of our week-long programs for elementary and middle school kids. Elementary schoolers and younger kids can get artsy in our Lions & Tigers & Bears class, get dramatic in Young Broadway, get into science in any of our Wicked Cool science and engineering programs, or get sweaty in our Soccer & Sports or Flag Football camps. These are just some of our many still-available options. We’ve also added new programs the last two weeks of August, including Wicked Phab Physics Lab, Wicked Wacky Lab Week, and Create a TV Show. Middle schoolers have lots of opportunities to get technical with us this summer: try our new Adventures in IT, Picture Projects, or Music Masterpieces with Garageband classes, for example. High schoolers can get a leg up on the college application process with our summer SAT prep classes or college essay writing class. And of course we have several sessions of Driver’s Ed this summer at both high schools. We have summer offerings for adults too, and kids ages 16 and up are always welcome in our adult classes. For more information or to register, call NCE at 617-559-6999 or visit our website at www.newtoncommunityed.org, where you’ll find our Summer-at-a-Glance chart to help you plan something new and exciting each week.
