The summer slide is common; it occurs when children are away from the classroom and not participating in formal math and literacy programs. Enroll your child for a three to six-week experience taught by certified teachers and assistants designed to boost summer learning and advance the student toward their annual IEP goals.

Designed for K – 12th Grade (not eligible for enrollment after completion of high school)
