9th Grade Creighton Prep's Primer Program

Registration will open after acceptance letters are sent out.

The Prep Primer Program is designed to provide incoming 9th-grade students with a head start on their academic journey at Creighton Prep. This two-week (or four-weeks) program offers a unique opportunity for students to experience the same block schedule used throughout the school year, allowing them to become familiar with the structure and rhythm of high school life.

Program Overview: Classes run for two weeks, meeting on Monday to Thursday. Each day is divided into two blocks, with a lunch break in between. Each session is designed to be independent yet distinct, allowing students to benefit from attending one or both sessions.

Program Goals: The goal of the Prep Primer Program is to ensure that students enter their 9th-grade year at Creighton Prep feeling confident, prepared, and ready to excel. By engaging in the same schedule and content they will encounter throughout the year, students will develop a strong foundation and gain a better understanding of what to expect in their academic future.

Join us for an exciting and productive summer, and start your high school journey with the knowledge and confidence to succeed!
