SUMMER HEAD START PROGRAM
in New york
Do you remember the grueling first month back to school after a summer of lazing around?
Our students don’t.
No matter what anyone tells you, 2 months off every year, for 6 years, adds up to a year of not learning before the end of 6th grade. If your child is one of the youngest in his/her class, or if you are just trying to get your child ahead of the curve, enroll in our Summer Head Start Program today.
Summer Head Start is a program that focuses on English, writing, grammar, and mathematics from the previous school year, as well as next year’s curriculum. This is a perfect way to make sure your child starts off strong, and is ahead of the game the whole school year. Two months of structured and individualized curriculum, every year, can add up to an extra year of schoolwork by 6th grade, not to mention the prevention of the summer slide. Additionally, our students all move at their own pace. Some move ahead of grade level, while others get the extra help they need to solidify the past year’s content.
This program takes place daily from 3:15 pm - 5:00 pm, Monday to Thursday. This includes Math and ELA on alternating days. In the past, this program has been extremely successful in progressing our students ahead of their peers by the time they return to school. Students usually regress in their learning by several months during the summer, and our students progress several months ahead of the grade they are going into, which results in a 3 - 8 months difference between our students and their school classmates at the start of the school year!
