Robinson Secondary School’s Math Department would like to invite your student to register for and attend our Math Boot Camp this summer. The Math Boot Camp consists of three-hour sessions over the course of four days, which will focus on prerequisite math skills to be successful in the next math course. New course content will not be covered. As you know, high school mathematics courses can be extremely challenging, and our Math Boot Camp will help alleviate some of the pressures these difficult courses may create.
Math Boot Camp will be held from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., Monday thru Thursday, August 5-8, 2024 at Robinson Secondary School. The cost of the camp is $100.00 per student. There will be scholarship opportunities for students who demonstrate financial need
Sessions are offered for students enrolled in Algebra 1, Geometry, and Algebra 2 for the 2024-25 school year.
See the FLYER for more information.
