Personalized Tutoring for Children and Adults to Bridge the Education Gap

Free Children’s Summer Program

Free Children’s Summer Program Detroit

The Summer Learning Program is a series of two, four-week fundamental learning boot-camps running throughout the summer for eligible second through fifth graders (students must have graduated first grade to meet eiligibility). These two sessions allow for flexible scheduling around family time, summer activities, and vacations. Registered students will review the basics of grade level concepts to keep their minds sharp and ready, in turn helping to prevent the summer math and reading loss. In addition to helping these children build their reading and math skills, we provide students with experiences that they do not have in their typical school classroom. By supporting these basic educational concepts, students will feel more comfortable learning advanced concepts during the upcoming school year. At the end of the four weeks, each session will celebrate its students through a fun field trip activity.

The program consists of:

  • Individual and group learning assistance with grade appropriate lesson plans.
  • Creative and challenging learning activities; educational games and interactive activities that introduce new learning opportunities in reading and math.
  • STEM, urban gardening, nutrition, and social-emotional learning opportunities for additional educational exposure.
  • “Fun Friday” Celebration at the end of session to celebrate student’s successes.
