The Smarter Summers Upper Program
At Smarter Summers, our goal is not to take away from the joys of summer, but to provide balance.
We want our students to return to the classroom with confidence, feeling excited to show off all that they’ve learned, and eager to learn even more! Our Smarter Summers Upper Program for students entering Grades 9-12 is designed not only to prevent learning loss, but to actually keep kids moving forward with the important skills that will help them to excel in school.
Inquiry
Each workshop will support students as they learn about the world around them, develop strategies to organize their learning, and find their voice as authors and problem solvers.
Instruction
Each day will also include explicit instruction.
In the writing workshop, students will learn how to write strong sentences, structure a compelling piece of writing, and use evidence to support their claims as they craft an article, story, poem, or play that illustrates all they’ve learned.
The math workshop will teach students how to think flexibly and creatively to solve real world problems.
