Summer Reading Lists

Lower School

Please make time to read each day over the summer! Students are most engaged in reading material they choose themselves, so we encourage students to read anything they are interested in. Students can also explore links to resources, tools, book lists, and games carefully selected for each grade level on the Library Resources page in the Student Portal of our website.

Upper School

Our exciting all-upper-school read is Jerry Craft's award-winning novel, New Kid. On the first day of school, students will meet with their advisory group to discuss the book.

Our goal for summer reading is to encourage our students to read for pleasure over their break. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our school librarian, Marcia Bernard.
