Summer Coursework

We are so excited to have you join us for our second year of operations, growing our small community as we strive to form young men and women in faith, intellect, virtue, and service. Each summer, we will prepare students for the coming year with a prescribed course of summer academic work aimed at keeping them mentally sharp while respecting the need for leisure and rest. Summer coursework is graded and will be the first grades for the 2025-2026 academic year.

There are three components to the summer work:

  1. Community Read: We will read a nonfiction book as a community and prepare for group discussion when we gather in August. This year it is G.K. Chesterton’s St. Francis of Assisi.

  2. Literature Book: Each grade-level will read a work of fiction/historical fiction that thematically ties in with their humanities curriculum and complete the related assignment.

  3. Math Practice in Khan Academy: Students will be assigned online mathematics practice through Khan Academy based on their math placement for next year.

Nativity will provide the books in a summer work packet and will assign the Khan Academy course electronically. Please let us know if you will come to the school to pick up your summer work packet or if you would like us to mail it. Students should begin working on the summer work no later than June 23rd. Click the buttons below for the assignment details for different grade levels.
