A unique blend of academic support and engaging enrichment designed specifically for students who learn differently.

The morning academic enrichment program provides structured, evidence-based instruction, including Wilson® reading, along with focused classes in literacy and math to help reinforce essential skills and prevent summer learning loss. In the afternoons, students participate in hands-on enrichment clubs that foster creativity, independence, and confidence. Whether exploring outdoor activities, experimenting in the kitchen, or collaborating on group projects, these experiences are designed to strengthen executive function, problem-solving, and social skills.
