  • Online Freshmen Technology Fundamentals

    Entering 9th grade 

    Students at Chaminade are introduced to the concept of online learning in this course. Since so many students today engage in distance education as part of their college career, this course introduces them to essential principles that will enable their success in this type of learning. Concepts like time management, netiquette, and the qualities of a successful online student are examined. The course then introduces the student to various aspects of online academic technologies that will assist them during their time here at Chaminade. Components of Microsoft Word, Outlook, and Powerpoints are examined, and the use of Office 365. The course transitions to exploring other online academic technologies used here at Chaminade. These skills include navigating library databases, using online tools & websites, using Naviance (Chaminade’s counseling and college application program), and file management & backup techniques.

    The final goal is to put all of the skills together and use them in real-world situations. Since this is an online course, accountability and responsibility become very important. The class is broken into five one-week-long modules with a certain number of assessments due at the end of every week. The modules start the Monday of every week, and all assessments are due Sunday at 10:00 pm. Students should make sure to give themselves enough time to complete all of the required assessments for that week because any assignment not turned in for the module by midnight Sunday will be considered late and lose credit. Students will receive their Chaminade laptops during this class session (pending manufacturer delivery).

  • College Application Boot Camp 2025

    Entering 12th grade (Chaminade Students Only)
    Attention rising seniors: Through the Chaminade Center for Excellence, you, the members of the Chaminade Class of 2024, are invited to reduce the stress over the college application process and complete significant aspects of the process before your senior year even starts! 
     
    Attending the extensive two-day Chaminade Summer Application Boot Camp, you will work with Chaminade counselors and teachers, spending time in informative opening sessions and in smaller break-out sessions focusing on making substantial progress on the Common Application and on the UC Application. You will brainstorm essay ideas and draft meaningful essays by examining the UC and Common Application essay prompts with direct feedback from English teachers, and school counselors will guide you through the different types of college applications. By the conclusion of the Boot Camp, you will be close to completing your Common Application (or other application), have a working draft of one or more of your essays, and be familiar with other types of college application writing, such as college supplements.
