Participant Responses
What students and faculty say about the summer Workshops in Writing and Thinking for High School Students“Never have I
walked into an English classroom with more enthusiasm and
energy than I do now, because I am so excited to take back
what I learned at the workshop and use it to enhance my
studies.” “[My daughter's]
experience at Simon's Rock was pivotal in her development
as a young woman and as a writer.” “This has been
the best learning experience of my life to date. Every technique
we used was beneficial, but it was the amazing energy that
launched us all to the stars.” “It was absolutely
fabulous. Everyone from the workshop that I have spoken
to has mentioned how much more they enjoy writing now and
how their writing skills have improved. We have all made
great new friendships and have great new memories to muse
upon.” “I wanted you
to know how valuable the writing and thinking workshop was
for our daughter. She said it was the perfect balance of
work and play. The blend of cultural and social activities
provided group experiences that she could reflect on in
her writings. She has always enjoyed math and science, and
now she includes poetry in her list of passions." |
