White Mountain 2009 Academic Summer Overnight Program
Description
We
invite you send your son or daughter to the 2009
Academic Summer Program at the White Mountain School
in Bethlehem, NH July 12-25. While this program has
been strong success for the past few years, we are
motivated by constant innovation in order to provide
the very best academic summer enrichment programming
in the nation.
Based on input from parents and
our own drive and ambition, we have developed the
following additions to our programming for summer
2009 to complement our traditional programs
(writing, public speaking, leadership and Math).
Our goal is to serve the needs of all veteran
students. Innovative initiatives include:
Pre-Law Program
Innovative Program: Unique curriculum will
focus on preparation for becoming a lawyer as part
of career. Students will focus on types of law that
can be pursued in law school, as well as avenues for
future career paths.

chance to talk with existing lawyers about their
careers and the future of the legal profession.
