  • 3 Unit Interest Electives Off Island
    Dear Students, Parents and Friends of Country Day School, On March 23rd, we will begin our thirty-ninth (XXXIX) annual "Mini-Gusto" program. For five days our students will leave their classrooms to pursue special electives designed to provide new and rewarding experiences and take education into the community at large. We are proud of the success of this program and look forward a successful Mini-Gusto this year! This booklet describes the courses offered in this year's Mini-Gusto. For eleventh and twelfth graders the important emphasis of this program is on career intern positions. This year our students have many different career fields from which to choose. We were again gratified that almost every business and government agency we contacted, which participated in the past, enthusiastically agreed to participate again. We are extremely grateful to these generous people from so many different occupations that have volunteered to take our young people and show them the "ropes." For high school students soon to face many important decisions, these opportunities are invaluable. Before studying the following course descriptions, it is important to restate the working philosophy behind Mini-Gusto. This five-day block of time is pulled from the academic calendar to provide all students an opportunity to broaden their scope of experience. Juniors and Seniors are required to sign up for career offerings or community service. A student should select a course that either adds a new experience or offers an opportunity to learn a new skill. Not all students are ready for such career placements. For seventh through tenth graders we offer a variety of activities to open new horizons, develop new skills and provide new experiences.
