Summer camp for students entering grades 1-9
Known as the “summer setback” or “summer slide,” the two-plus month loss of knowledge that students experience when they are not utilizing their newly acquired skills can have a significant impact on their performance in the upcoming school year. Presented as a “visit to the teacher’s desk,” the Summer Bridge Program in Mathematics helps minimize students’ loss of proficiency by providing them with an instructor-led environment for reviewing and practicing skills learned over the previous year as well as receiving guided instruction on topics to be covered in the grade they are entering.
LIVE-ONLINE CLASSES
Taught by dedicated instructors who have experience working with elementary school students, the summer camp classes are interactive – students will be able to ask and answer questions in real time. Each live-online course consists of 12 50-minute sessions presented by a live instructor. Sessions are divided into either a six-week schedule, meeting two day per week, or a three-week schedule, meeting four days per week. In addition to the scheduled classes, students will have access to prerecorded versions of each session, which they can use to preview topics, view sessions they are unable to attend and review content from a different perspective.
