Academic Learning Groups
Our Academic Learning Groups are small, supportive, and intentionally designed to help students grow in confidence and skill over the summer. Because we thoughtfully build groups based on availability and learning needs, registration works a little differently than a typical class signup.
Parents will first register and submit availability details. From there, we carefully place students into well-matched groups to ensure the best possible experience and progress.
To reserve a spot, families can choose between paying in full for a discount or placing a small deposit to hold placement while final scheduling is completed.
All groups will run for 8 weeks between June and July. If a group is unable to be formed, your deposit will be refunded in full.
