Classes for Credit

Marlborough Summer School offers the opportunity for students entering grades 9–12 to complete the Emergency Preparedness and Water Safety course requirement in a three-week course. This required course fulfills one of the Marlborough School graduation requirements. 

Through this course, students learn to care for others in emergency situations while learning about their personal safety in diverse emergency medical situations. 

The main components of the course include: First Aid, CPR, Patient Assessments, and Water Safety. Students will participate in scenarios, practical skill testing and simulated rescue drills, and generally train to be well equipped to handle emergency events. Students will also develop team leadership skills by using strong collaborative and communication skills during class exercises.

This course is designed for students who have completed Algebra 1 in 9th grade and will be entering 10th or 11th grade in the fall. Topics include Euclidean geometry, introduction to logic, trigonometry, coordinate geometry, and transformational geometry. Students taking this course will need a scientific calculator. This course satisfies the regular Geometry requirement at Marlborough. A minimum of an 80% class average allows a student to enroll in regular Algebra II with Trigonometry in the fall.
