SHEFFIELD, Mass. — Southern Berkshire Regional School District has been awarded a grant amounting in $15,000 for Early College Supports by Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE).

 

The Early College Support grant will allow for five students to attend a two week summer program at Bard College at Simon’s Rock. Curiosity Camp is an academic program for students in grades 9, 10, and 11. The grant will cover tuition, room, board, and off campus excursions. 

 

"We are so thankful that we are able to offer this incredible opportunity to our students this year," said Superintendent Beth Regulbuto. "Curiosity Camp is perfect for students who are looking to take the next steps in exploring their academic and creative interests," continued Regulbuto. "Students who partake in this camp will gain college living experience by taking classes, while also having the benefit of being part of a small cohort of 30 classmates. Students who are interested in this opportunity should speak with Mount Everett High School Principal, Jesse Carpenter."

 

Students will participate in an active and engaging daily Writing and Thinking workshop along with a seminar. Students will also be able to choose different art and science courses while experiencing diverse academic offerings. While students indulge in the academic experiences that Simon’s Rock has to offer, they will also be able to take advantage of the 275-acre wooded campus and scenic nature trails.
