Summer Reading

Students at St. Joseph's Academy enrich their summer through required reading. The specific titles are dependent upon the courses in which each student is enrolled for the upcoming school year.

Summer reading not only directly prepares students for the next phase of course work, it helps to keep their minds active and engaged during the summer months, and it reinforces the value of reading, whether it be fiction or non-fiction, novel, biography, or history. Reading is a primary way that we learn of the stories of and broaden our understanding of the larger human family. Furthermore, the testing services continue to remind us that the main guarantee of success on college entrance tests is “reading, reading, reading.”
