Is my child required to participate in Talent Search in order to attend CBK Summer Programs? No, students may apply through the portfolio process.
Are kids in classes all day long? No—multiple activity periods are part of the socio-emotional emphasis in all three programs— as much as kids think hard, they play hard. Instructors do not assign extensive homework so that brains can reboot.
Who is in charge on campus? How will I know my child is safe? Multiple measures are in place to ensure the enjoyment and safety of all participants. All staff are background checked and mandatory reporters, and Campus Safety is part of our team. A CBK administrative team of the Executive Director, Residential Director, and Assistant Residential Director are ALWAYS on call and on campus during each program. Please review the Honor Code online for more information on our student policies.
Will my child receive high school or college credit for participating? Credit transfer cannot be guaranteed, although CBK encourages Luminary Project students to talk with their high school guidance counselors ahead of time to check into this possibility, as equivalency seat hours are met. Syllabi are available 2 weeks prior to the Luminary Project upon request.
What about the cell phone policy—I am nervous that my student is far from home? Students are not allowed to have cell phones with them during the program. They may bring cell phones that are checked in with the Residential Director to use during phone calls home periods. This policy is for safety and connection to the program.
