Project Briarwood is an academic summer program for students entering Kindergarten through sixth grade for the 2025-2026 school year. For students interested in engaging in project based learning, Project Briarwood combines explicit instruction related to weekly language and math themed projects. At the end of each week, the students will be immersed in the theme of the week by participating in a group project or presentation.
This summer camps’ themes will be:
Week 1: Outer Space
Week 2: Pacific Adventure
Week 3: The Arctic Tundra
Week 4: Briarwood Fantasy
Project Briarwood is taught by a specialized staff of educators, using evidence-based academic strategies with reported outcomes, that can transfer to multiple settings. The program is designed to provide strategies to develop and build upon skills in the core areas of academics, as well as help with organization and study habits.
June 2nd – June 27th, 2025 (4 weeks)
Daily Schedule:
Morning Sessions: Students will attend academic core classes in the morning with teachers, similar to a regular half day at The Briarwood School. All of these classes will use project-based learning to follow an exciting “theme of the week.” Students will rotate through Math, Reading Comprehension, Writing, and Decoding.
Afternoon Sessions: Students will experience fun activities related to the arts, physical movement, and technology. There are approximately 6 choices for these activities, based on enrollment. Note: students can choose different activities for each week, but must remain in the choice for the week. Once Project Briarwood begins, students will not be able to make changes to their choices. Activity options are available in the registration form.
