Summer QUEST

QUEST is part of the Middle Grades Partnership Program (MGP) that forges connections between public and private school communities. It is a student-centered and inquiry-based summer program that offers participants opportunities to broaden and deepen their sense of self and the world in which they live. Through engaging and challenging project-based learning, students will find and use information to produce meaningful results, solve authentic problems, and engage in deep learning surrounded by a theme.

MGP/QUEST is a four-week program from 8:15 A.M. to 3:30 P.M. that is FREE for rising Sixth Grade Calvert students and returning Seventh Grade & Eighth Grade Calvert students from last year's program.

**Monday, July 3 - Friday, July 7: Engineering Part 2

Monday, July 10 - Friday, July 14: Space Travel and Exploration

Monday, July 17 - Friday, July 21: City Design, Architecture, and Transportation

**Please note that the QUEST program will be closed on Tuesday, July 4.

There is limited space, so please register quickly to ensure that your child has a spot. Please note that for rising Sixth Graders, preference will be given to students who can attend all four weeks of the program.

As a result of hands-on experiential learning, students will be empowered, resulting in real world skills such as resiliency, flexibility, persistence, empathy, and self-awareness. Academic skills will also be incorporated on a daily basis in an effort to maintain progress from the school year.

Calvert School has partnered with Hamilton Elementary/Middle School, and in addition to hosting both Calvert and Hamilton students for Summer MGP/QUEST, we will offer events and activities throughout the school year that foster this partnership.
