school’s approval, transfer the course for credit at their

respective schools.

Preview Courses are two-hour courses designed for students who want substantial exposure to courses they

and science, and allow students to consider taking another

two-hour course in the summer session. They meet June 23

to August 1, two hours daily for a total of 60 hours. Students

in preview courses will cover approximately half of the

entire course material over a six-week period. Students

details about student conduct on campus are available

in the General Information section of this brochure.

absences will not be eligible to have a transcript sent

from Newark Academy. If they are absent, students enrolled

analytical writing skills throughout its curricula. Consequently,

when a student signs his or her name to an assignment or

assessment, the expectation and the understanding is that

student involved in an incident of academic dishonesty may

be dismissed from Summer Session.

Final ExamsAll students enrolled in an advance credit class are

required to take a final exam. A student will not be issued

a final grade if he or she does not take the final exam in a

120-hour course.

restricted to the outdoors. If a cell phone goes off in class,

a teacher will take the phone and bring it to the office.

July 23 - July 27

Tuition: $300

Moving pictures are everywhere: on our computers, our

Because so much of what we learn comes from moving

images on these various platforms, it is important to learn

how to “read” what we see. Even though the technology that

made the motion picture possible is relatively young, the

influence of film is so vast it is immeasurable. How did we

come so far so fast? By closely studying a number of classic

films, created by some of the masters of filmmaking, the

student who enrolls in this class will learn the “vocabulary”

of filmmaking. In addition to viewing excerpts from classic

movies, students will watch full length feature films like

Alfred Hitchcock’s Rear Window, Arthur Penn’s Bonnie and

Clyde and Alan J. Pakula’s political thriller All the President’s

Men. The class will conclude with the classic screwball

comedy, Billy Wilder’s Some Like It Hot.
