Would your child benefit from an in-person summer program? Center School’s Summer Learning and Enrichment Program helps prevent the “summer slide”.
Help your child realize their potential and lessen the dreaded summer slide by enrolling in our literacy and math program for the month of July. Center School’s Summer Learning and Enrichment Morning Program provides students in grades 1 through 6 with targeted instruction in literacy and mathematics to develop and maintain skills, practice effective learning strategies, and increase abilities in a welcoming and fun-filled environment. In our interactive classrooms, emphasis is placed on language-based skills including phonemic awareness and phonics, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, and writing while math instruction is provided to enhance number sense and problem solving.
New this year is the addition of Wilson® Fundations® in grades 1-2 and Wilson® Just Words® in grades 3-6. These programs specifically support decoding and spelling proficiency. In Wilson® Fundations® , handwriting is also emphasized.
