Grades 1-4:

During the summer of 2012, the Gifted and Talented program announced the integration of learning communities into our program which was received with enthusiasm. The Gifted Learning Communities will group children together who share common interests and are actively engaged in learning together, from each other, and by habituation. These learning communities will provide the students with a more holistic environment while still engaging them in a fun, unique summer experience!

  • Students in first through fourth grade will have the opportunity to enroll in two learning communities this summer.
  • Students that remain with us for a full day of camp will have the opportunity to enroll in two classes of interest during the remaining periods of the day.
  • Students coming for the half day program can enjoy a morning learning community and a 4th period class of their choice (no lunch will be provided).
  • Please Note: The classes within the community are not interchangeable; therefore, canceling one class will result in a loss of all the linked courses.

Grades 5-11:

Families can personalize their schedules by selecting from courses in science, mathematics, technology, sports, visual and performing arts and the humanities. Anticipated courses include robotics, SAT Prep, algebra, and pop culture.


Our courses are taught by experienced professors and teachers in small learning environments that allow for a customized experience.
