Book Clubs (Grades 3-12)

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Over the course of each semester, students read a predetermined book on their own and then discuss it with an Enlightium club leader and other students during the Book Club.
Our book selections vary, and some may touch on more mature themes. Your guidance will help your child navigate these themes and ensure a positive reading experience.
Stay engaged, explore the chosen books together, and discuss any questions that arise. Your input matters and contributes to a rewarding literary journey for your child.
For Book Clubs, registration is open until the end of the third quarter.

Participation in the Book Club counts as fulfilling the Student's Social Opportunity.
