Sample Syllabi

Below you will find links to sample syllabi for all courses offered in the CTY: Academic Explorations summer program for students in 7th grade and above. By putting syllabi that have been used in the past on-line, we are hoping to give parents, students, and teachers an idea of what has been done in these courses in the past. Actual lessons, readings, and activities for these classes this summer may be different. These syllabi can be downloaded using Adobe Acrobat.
