Through a grant from an anonymous Petra family and in partnership with Carnegie Mellon University and their world-renowned Robotics Academy, Petra Academy will pilot a new robotics program this April and May. The program is open to Petra’s 7th-12th grade students and will cost $95 per student, which covers the opportunity for students to test for certification through Carnegie Mellon.

Class will meet on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons from 4-5:30 p.m. and will not conflict with Ultimate Frisbee practice. Note: This is an academic class, not a club; attendance throughout the course is required to be eligible for certification. Interested students should sign up on the Secondary bulletin board and bring a check for $95 to Mr. Koenen, who has been certified by Carnegie Mellon to teach the course.

Currently-enrolled families have one more week of priority to lock in your returning students (including new siblings) for the 2019-20 school year; after March 15 (and as spots are available), new families may enroll – first come, first served – until classes are filled. Check your email for enrollment credentials and enroll before Spring Break to take advantage of your $100/student registration fee ($400/student fee after March 15). Questions? Contact Office Manager Karen DeGroot.
