Below are the Elective offerings for Super Summer 2012. This year, we've made a change to the way we do electives. Each student will attend two elective classes - one in the morning, and one in the afternoon. You will go to the same classes each day at Super Summer. Use the form at the bottom of the page to choose your top four favorite choices, and we'll do our best to get you into the two that you want the most. Classes will be filled on a first come, first served basis, so don't wait!
