High School Summer Writing Workshop

Unlock Your High School Writing Potential
Is your high schooler ready to stop struggling with the writing process and start writing with confidence?
This summer, The Siena School is hosting an intensive, 5-day virtual Summer Writing Workshop specifically designed for students entering grades 9-11. We transform the common frustration of being generically told to "improve your writing" into a clear, actionable plan for success.

- Individualized Attention: Our expert instructor provides a personalized approach within a small, supportive group setting to meet your student's unique learning needs.
Students: Master the Essay, Own the Feedback
- Just a few hours a day: It's a focused, short-term, high-impact commitment that still leaves plenty of time for summer fun!

- Powerful Tools to Take With You: You will learn to use graphic organizers and utilize helpful assistive technology to compose essays that clearly and effectively communicate your ideas. You'll finish the week with concrete tools you can use immediately in future writing during your next school year!
