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.
Registration for the Book Club for the 2025-2026 school year will open during Student Social Week from September 8-12, 2025.

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