Summer Academy &Kindergarten BoundKindergarten - 8th Grade

Summer AcademySummer Academy provides a summer academic boost in a small-group tutoring format. Since the groups are small, the teachers are able to tailor the instruction to the needs of the students in the group.

This course is appropriate for:• Students who are performing below grade level and need some help to meet expectations in the upcoming school year.• Students who are performing atgrade level and would like to maintaintheir skills over the summer.• Students who are performing abovegrade level and would enjoy enriching their skills over the summer.

This course is designed for continuation and general support of academic skills in a group setting, rather than remediation of significant academic need which requires 1-to-1 skilled intervention.

Teachers will help students build upon their strengths, while also addressing areas needing improvement. Each experienced, licensed teacher will work with a group of five or fewer students in the areas of reading, writing, and math.

A variety of methods and activities will be utilized, including practice drills, projects, games, and discussions. The morning will be divided into three sections, focusing on one subject during each section, with a short break between sections. Parents/guardians are required to complete an information sheet that needs to be turned in prior to the start of the session.
