Reynolds Writing Workshop

The Reynolds Young Writers Workshop at Denison University is an exciting 8-day residential program for high school students who love writing. In small workshops for poetry, fiction, and nonfiction, participants develop their skills, attend crosswriting classes, and engage with visiting writers. 

The experience includes individual writing time, one-on-one meetings with faculty, and contributions to the Workshop Anthology. It’s an unforgettable opportunity for up to 36 rising high school students, and financial assistance is available.

The experience at Reynolds is unforgettable and irreplaceable. Writing was never this fun until now.

—Carissa Gandenberger, 2010

Suzuki Program

The Suzuki Program’s goal is to create a positive musical learning partnership among faculty, students, and their parents/practice partners by following the philosophical principles and educational methods developed by Dr. Shinichi Suzuki, so that children can grow into loving and respectful individuals who will have a positive effect on their world.

We currently offer Suzuki instruction for all ages in: Cello, Flute, Piano, Violin, Viola.

Interested families are encouraged to contact Jim Van Reeth, Director, and register to attend one of our Talent Education Gatherings for more information and to meet our teachers.
