Private schools and summer camps guide
Welcome to the Educational Register
|
|
The Educational Register has been published by VincentCurtis since 1941 as a guide for parents and students to a select few private schools and summer programs, and as a source of free information and advice about independent education. Articles by heads of independent schools, summer study programs and camps are included to introduce you to a wide variety of subjects related to independent education. Boarding schools, day schools, girls schools, boys schools, military schools, and international schools are represented. In addition you'll find private camps and summer programs, home study and special needs programs. Most of these schools and camps are well known to our staff, who have traveled throughout North America and Western Europe over the years and have become familiar with their varied aims and methods. You can search by age, grade, geography, boarding or day, and then link to the schools and camps that interest you. Or you're welcome to contact us for comments and suggestions to fit your needs and interests.

SUMMER CAMP: ALTERNATIVE EDUCATION FOR THE WHOLE PERSON, A GIFT OF LASTING VALUE
“Is considering the ‘educational value of a well organized summer camp’ an anachronism? Why do parents send their kids to camp? What do today’s campers get out of the camp experience? Is it even valid to discuss the ‘camp experience’ as the American Camp Association and other professionals are now encouraging? … It sounds good – educational value - but what does it really mean? Is it a useful goal in today’s society and economy?” Jehanne McIntyre Edwards, Camp Jeanne d’Arc, Merrill, NY [Read More]
