The following information is reflective as of Summer 2024.
Summer Experience encompasses opportunities that expose students to a variety of interests. Students can partake in multicultural activities, arts programs, and educational experiences to explore diverse cultures, traditions, and perspectives, expanding their worldviews. Parental involvement is encouraged during these summer programs, which often provide resources, and opportunities for families to support their child's learning journey. Summer learning helps bridge the gap between academic years, ensuring a seamless transition back to school in the fall and setting students up for continued success.
Summer learning provides an exceptional opportunity for children to equip themselves for forthcoming academic challenges, cultivate effective study habits, and hone their organizational skills. This experience is pivotal in fostering the confidence necessary to maneuver through the rigors of the traditional school year. Students across all proficiency levels stand to gain from more than 150 minutes of intensive reading and math instruction, serving to enhance their academic prowess.
We have established long-standing partnerships with Franklin Park Conservatory, Junior Achievement, GiveBackHack, The Wexner Center, and The PAST Foundation. Last year, we expanded our list of partnerships to include We Amplify Voices, Cameron Mitchell, and The Contemporary Theatre of Ohio, among others.
We are excited to announce that the CCS/City/Nationwide Children's Hospital has extended its partnership to provide Safety City support to all PK students attending the Summer Experience and in the community after the district's summer programming ends.
These partnerships are vital to our continued success and provide our community with the highest level of support. We want to reiterate our commitment to working closely with these organizations to achieve our shared goals. Which path will you choose #DiscoverYourPurpose
