Immediately upon convening, the students are given a snack and drinks to revive them after a day of schooling. Conferences between the director and the students’ teachers identify areas in need of improvement. The students are rotated through tutoring sessions conducted by certified teachers and supervised by the director and professional staff. The focus is on homework and other work identified by the class room teacher. The students are rotated through a computer training period, a supervised play period, and art or music enrichment.

Summer Enrichment Program for Students in K – 9th Grade
Objective: The summer enrichment program is a four-week program designed to eliminate summer learning and help close the academic achievement gap for children who participate. Students will be ready to learn when they return to school in September. The program offers daily activities and a weekly enrichment trip that is aligned with the curriculum.
Research shows that students typically score lower on standardized tests at the summer of vacation than they do on the same tests at the beginning of summer.
