Prevent Summer Learning Loss!

 

Summer is here!  For many students, the summer means a 2 to 3 month break from constructive learning.
 
All young people experience learning loss when they do not engage in educational activities during the summer.  On average, students lose approximately 2.6 months of grade level equivalency over the summer months. This equates to a cumulative gap of 2 or more years by the time they reach high school.
 
As a result, teachers often spend the first 6+ weeks of a new school year re-teaching material to many students...material that was lost during the summer months. Summer programs are an effective intervention for purposes of academic remediation, enrichment, or acceleration.
 
Take advantage of the summer by enrolling in a program to keep skills fresh, or better yet, experience growth by building new skills.  Don't let summer learning loss happen in your household!

From Our Families

We wanted to let you know how much we appreciated all of your help with Carley and her math challenges. She has come so far and she would not have been able to do it without your help! Not only have we seen gains in her grades, but we have also witnessed her own personal growth with her confidence and love for math! She loves that her peers are calling her "smart " and turning to her for help. We are so happy we learned about your center because we are sure that your positive approach and loving care have helped Carley grow tremendously! Thank you!
