Summer Enrichment Workshops
On our Alamo campus, preschoolers romp around our park-like playground, create masterpieces, enjoy games and puzzles, review phonics and numbers while solidifying new friendships.
Dorris-Eaton School’s San Ramon campus offers entering kindergarten through eighth-grade students a stimulating and enriching program that provides a bridge to the upcoming school year. Students are taught by highly-skilled teachers in a relaxed and supportive atmosphere.
4–6 Math
Students in grades 4–5 expand their knowledge of geometry and increase spatial awareness. Additionally, students explore three-dimensional forms and logic problems using diagrams, logic problems, and architectural tools. The workshop for Grade 6 uses multiple problem-solving methods to explore word problems as well as teaches test-taking skills and methods for improving accuracy.
Preschool
It's the perfect way to spend a morning. Children will create artistic masterpieces, dig and build, and enjoy socializing with friends. Meanwhile, teachers will skillfully incorporate the basics of phonics and math along with activities that enhance small and gross motor development. Students will also strengthen their ability to listen, observe, and follow directions.
K–3 Language Arts
Each two-week workshop is thoughtfully designed to foster both academic and social growth. With expert instructors, small class sizes, and a nurturing environment, our Young Scholars, Writing and Illustration, and Beyond the Basics Workshops make excellent additions to any summer plan.
4–5 Language Arts
Through the study of short stories, students will explore key literary elements such as character development, plot prediction, foreshadowing, and point of view, and will apply these techniques to their own writing. In addition to reinforcing grammar and punctuation, the workshop will focus on building organizational skills, improving reading comprehension, and expanding vocabulary.
5-8 Engineering | Robotics
The Engineering & Robotics Workshop offers hands-on experiences that combine engineering, robotics, coding, math, and problem solving. Students will design, build, and program robots to navigate various challenges.
6-8 Language Arts
Language Arts Workshop students will explore short stories and fairy tales to analyze character development, plot prediction, personification, symbolism, foreshadowing, and point of view. Using a guided writing process, they will apply these literary elements to their own writing. Organizational and critical thinking skills along with grammar and punctuation will be reinforced.
6-8 Theatre
The workshop will introduce students to essential performance techniques while engaging them in stagecraft activities, character monologues, short plays, and improvisational scenes.
“Being new to Dorris-Eaton, my son needed to hone his writing and grammar skills. We paired their summer language arts workshops with the Adventure Day Camp, both of which he loved. We immediately saw that he had caught up when school started in August. A great experience all around.”
