Summer 2008 Program Information Coming Soon.
At Our Summer Programs, one can expect:
Low Teacher/Student
Ratio
Each class is kept deliberately small (4-6 students per teacher) to ensure
individualized attention.
Experienced
Director and Staff
Our summer school directors select experienced, dynamic, qualified teachers
who approach teaching in a multisensory, systematic, individualized way.
Self-Esteem
Even the most reluctant summer students quickly discover the power of
meeting and befriending other students who share their struggles and strengths;
by day two, under the guidance of caring, energetic, knowledgeable teachers,
they realize learning can be fun and accessible. Ultimately, they begin
to understand how intelligent and talented they really are.
Reference
Notebook
Each student comes away with a "portfolio" of their summer work,
including reminders of the strategies used.
Full

tracks progress and suggests areas on which to concentrate, with helpful
follow-through ideas, such as program recommendations and family activities
to reinforce concepts.
