Frequently Asked Questions
Every student has unique needs, which is why we’ve split up our two programs by age group. Kindergarteners can benefit from our Jump Start program and prepare themselves for traditional elementary school, while students in grades 1 through 7 can strengthen their academic skills in our summer classes.
