Our summer academic enrichment program is implemented through four different courses each day: Arts & Crafts, Language Arts, Science, and Music & Theater Arts. The courses are designed by a team of credentialed teachers addressing a different weekly theme.
The weekly themes for 2023 are: “Under the Sea,” “America the Beautiful,” “Silk Road," “South of the Equator,” and “Up, Up and Away.”

South of the Equator
Explore the people and expansive geography of the Southern Hemisphere where toilets flush "backward" and Christmas is in the summer.
Up, Up and Away
Space has always fascinated humans; learn about the expanse and allure of our universe.
