The planning for this year's “Survivor Miriam” Summer Program is underway. While the TV show encourages players to “Outwit, Outplay and Outlast”, our goal will be to “Enlighten, Encourage, and Empower.”

The Miriam School Summer Program offers the opportunity for students to maintain academic skills through instruction in reading, math and written language in the morning. During the afternoon, the students will participate in a variety of enrichment activities based on our theme and will explore the social skills necessary for successful teamwork.

• Session 1, "Navigators" will introduce the skills of survival. Older students may learn about how to read a map and how to survive both in the classroom and in the wild, while the younger students will learn about the many different habitats found around the world.
• Students moving on to Session 2, "Explorers" will continue their journey of survival. Younger students will learn how animals and people "survive" in different environments. and older students will explore their own personal learning styles, and learn about the ways in which exploration has changed the world as we know it.
  

Weekly "tribe challenges" will focus on team building games and activities that are not about competitiveness, but rather about empowerment.

“Survivor Miriam” offers 2 two-week sessions. Students can sign up for one or both two-week sessions. Groups are determined by age, social skills and academic compatibility.

"Navigators" Session 1: June 21 - July 2 - $600
"Explorers" Session 2: July 6 - July 16 - $575 (No program July 5)

Registration for "Survivor Miriam" will begin in January.
