Summer Courses 2025

Summer learning loss is real! Studies show that during the summer, students forget up to 30% of what they’ve learned in school.

Support your child in maintaining a strong foundation essential for continued growth in core subjects like Math, Science, and English.

Check out our course offerings for this summer, math and science workshops, and High School Freshman Night for incoming 9th graders. And don’t forget that starting the College Admissions process early is essential for success, so please join us for our College Admissions Info Night in September!
