EDUCATION page 81 BROOKSIDE Offers an outstanding core curriculum for students junior kindergarten (4-year olds) through 5th grade, complemented by hands-on instruction in computers, music and visual studies have exams, and it's not like attending a 15 1/2 week-long class," M3. George added. "But you will be brought into a college- like structure, get a view of how you function in a college class- room and get to deal with in- structors." Attending summer-school pro- grams also gives students the op- portunity to participate in that famous business buzzword: net- working. Ms. George said in terms of future education, stu- dents who prove to be top-notch stand out in a crowd, and uni- versity professors remember those students. "Many colleges aren't that quick to offer college credit for programs that are primarily de- signed for high school students," Ms. George said. "A lot of the pro- gram is enrichment (of prior learning) or getting into the col- lege life." ❑ • Spanish-language program • Nationally recognized computer lab "logged-on" to NASA's Spacelink Computer • Building expansion will provide for new 3-year old program and additional students in grades JK-5 starting 1996-1997 academic year CRANBROOK KINGSWOOD MIDDLE SCHOOL Concentrates on gender-specific student needs, grades 6 through 8 • Gender-separate programs emphasize the development of self-confidence, competence and creativity • Average 6 to 1 student-faculty ratio • State-of-the-art computer facilities CRANBROOK KINGSWOOD UPPER SCHOOL Provides a co-educational day and boarding environment, grades 9 through 12 • Recognized as exemplary school by the U.S. DepartMent of Education • Exceptional record of college placement at Ivy League schools and other outstand- ing colleges and universities For more information, please call: 810 645. 3610 CRANBROOK SCHOOLS PO Box 801 Bloomfield Hills Michigan 48303-0801 THE DETROIT J E WIS H NEW S cranbrook@cc.cranbrook.edu 82 OPEN HOUSE Sunday, February 4 1-3:00 PM Cranbrook subscribes to a policy of equal opportunity with respect to employment, participation in available programs and access.
