STUDY SKILLS UPDATE

We are excited to announce that our Study Skills courses will be held on campus at Saint Ignatius during the weeks of July 27 - July 31 and August 3 - August 7.  We will follow all guidelines for health and safety as outlined by the Illinois Department of Public Health and Illinois State Board of Education.  This will include all students and faculty/staff wearing face coverings, increased cleaning and disinfecting, symptom screening, and small class sizes.  More information will be communicated directly to families and students who are enrolled in Study Skills in the coming weeks.  Please know that capacity is limited for Study Skills and we encourage you to register as soon as possible!

SUMMER PROGRAMS UPDATE

As you may be aware, Governor Pritzker recently outlined his plans for the phased reopening for Illinois.  In light of this plan, Saint Ignatius Summer Programs will be delivered in an e-learning format this year.  This means that all sports camps have been canceled, as have the art offering, and the Harlequins theater experience.  Please consult the registration platform for details.
 
Those desiring to continue with the online summer program will be contacted with additional information at a later date.  Any who prefer a refund may do so within your account page of the 8-to-18 registration site.
 
Although the space in which the experience has changed, we look forward to an enjoyable and fun summer program with your student!

Students will learn how to integrate the use of the iPad into their daily academic routine, with an emphasis on organization, digital workflow for assignments, communication and digital note-taking.
