Summer reading assignments seek to foster love of reading, encourage both creative and critical thinking, develop students’ skills in the area of inference and analysis, and support year-round learning. 

Each academic department has specific summer reading assignments in addition to the traditional Advanced Placement program requirements. These readings and assignments may be secured from classroom teachers, department directors, or may be found on the school web site.
