Gerstell Academy's Upper School Summer Reading Program
INTRODUCTION
We hope you are excited about beginning your Summer Reading Program!
Summer reading—a Gerstell Academy tradition—assures that the student does not lose the intellectual and leadership edge that has been worked so hard to hone during the academic year. The books that students must read and the format for reporting on that reading are provided here for your convenience.
The minimum summer reading requirement is to complete (a) the two required books (the Book of Knowledge will be mailed to you over the summer) and (b) two additional books from the resource list below, for a total of four books. The reading selection list is broken down by areas of leadership or virtues. Every student should be able to find books that are both enjoyable and will broaden their leadership horizons. Each student is required to complete a short reflection about each book read that will be submitted to their Advisor by the first day of classes.
