Elementary Accelerated Learning
Elementary School Summer School is for elementary students who have completed grades 3-5 this school year. ÒÀÒÀÉçÇø Summer School teachers will get to know their students well and understand where and how they need to develop to grow as individual learners. Our teachers use data from multiple sources to diagnose student needs and use their professional skills and share knowledge of best practices to personalize learning for every student. Each day, teachers will work with students in small groups and individually to get more structured support for students. Students will participate in math and reading daily with exciting lessons designed to support growth in needed areas for accelerated learning and to fill in educational gaps. Science and social studies will be embedded into lessons weekly. All materials needed for learning will be provided at school.
