What Parents Already Know
Essay questions. Book reports. History arguments. Science conclusions. Even math explanations. School rewards kids who write clearly — and quietly penalizes kids who don't, in every class, every year.
By middle school, nearly every grade has a writing grade hidden inside it. Clear writers score higher everywhere — including STEM.
Writing demands roughly double after elementary school. Kids who struggle start dreading school — kids who don't pull ahead. Grades 3–7 is exactly when to build it.
Strong writers become confident speakers: class presentations, leadership roles, interviews, and eventually the college essay. It's the superpower that keeps paying.
Many of the strongest students we know are math kids. Writing is the other half of the equation — and it's absolutely teachable.
The Program
Essays with real voice — and arguments that win readers over.
Spot strong evidence, question sources, build smart claims.
Friendly debates that turn great writing into confident speaking.
Every student leaves a clearer, more confident writer than on day one.
The Writing Arc
Claims, structure, and voice. Writers dig into an engaging shared topic and learn how a persuasive essay is built.
Evidence, counterarguments, and revision. Drafts get stronger, claims get sharper, and writers learn to answer the other side.
Rhetoric and friendly debate. Writers polish their portfolio piece and build toward defending their case in a friendly class debate.
Your Instructor
Taught by Dr. Arora, Ed.D. (Doctorate of Education)
A career educator with a Bachelor's degree from UCLA and both a Master's degree and a Doctorate in Education from USC, she started in the classroom teaching Honors and AP English at the high school level, then moved into leadership as Vice Principal at both the middle school and high school levels. Along the way, she was named California League of High Schools Educator of the Year.
As an administrator, she led her school through IB World School certification — a rigorous distinction held by a small fraction of schools worldwide, with IB transcripts recognized for admission by more than 4,500 universities globally.
That same depth of experience, energy, and genuine passion for the craft is brought to this camp, limited to a group of sixteen students.
Her favorite part of the job: watching young writers find their voice.
