Summer School
Ignite Their Potential This Summer with the Excel Program!
We're excited to offer engaging summer learning experiences for elementary, middle, and high school students! Prepare your child for the upcoming school year with our dynamic Excel Summer Program.
Elementary Program (Grades K-5):
Give your rising K-5th grader a fantastic opportunity to sharpen their skills and get ready for the next school year with our engaging Excel Summer Program!
This dynamic program is designed to help students build a strong foundation in reading, writing, and math in a supportive and fun learning environment. Our experienced classroom teachers will work closely with each child, focusing on their individual needs and helping them excel in key academic areas. Students will also explore STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) concepts and participate in Physical Education activities.
The goal of the Elementary Excel Summer Program is simple: to equip your child with the tools and confidence they need to thrive during the regular school year and beyond!
If your child is currently an elementary school student (grades K-5), we encourage you to speak with their teacher to determine if the Excel Summer Program aligns with their individual learning needs and if they qualify for summer school programming.
