And because every summer learning program is custom and delivered one-on-one, your child will progress at their own pace.

  • Personalized Instruction Example

    One of our reluctant readers received a new American Girl doll. Brock’s built a summer reading program where she read stories from her doll’s historic period – to her doll. The best part is her family vacationed in the area she had read about. She and her Brock’s instructor prepared a map of historic sites she and her doll could see. Now that made reading fun!
