Revised May, 2023

Dear Senior Students and Parents,

At Kellenberg Memorial we have established an academic program that includes four full years of study in all core subject areas.  Our goal is to provide a liberal arts education that prepares each student for higher academic pursuits.  The seniors have worked throughout their years at Kellenberg Memorial to build up a momentum for entering college.  We have one more opportunity to extend to the seniors to assist in their successful transition to college.  

Beginning after senior comprehensives have concluded, we will offer seminars in Calculus, International Relations, Art, Physics, and Statistics. The purpose of the seminars is to give the students extensive introductory exposure to college level courses and reduce the anxiety with which many students venture into these courses.  The seminars will meet on certain days from the week after senior comprehensives until mid-June.  Information on these seminars will be disseminated through the classes and homeroom periods.   Participants may elect to enroll in up to 2 seminars. The seminars are free of charge.  The description for each course can be found below.
