Reading difficulty is rarely about effort — it is most often about instruction. Students who struggle with reading typically benefit from structured, explicit teaching in phonemic awareness, sound-symbol relationships, and syllable patterns. The Wilson Reading System, grounded in Orton–Gillingham principles and supported by decades of literacy research, provides a systematic and cumulative approach that directly addresses the underlying skills required for fluent reading and accurate spelling.

A 15-hour summer intensive allows for focused, uninterrupted time to strengthen foundational decoding skills, reinforce phonics patterns, and build automaticity before the academic year begins. Rather than falling further behind, students enter the new school year with stronger word recognition, improved spelling, and increased reading confidence.

This intensive is designed for students who need structured literacy instruction delivered clearly, sequentially, and with consistent feedback — the kind of targeted support that creates measurable progress.

For elementary and middle school students who need to strengthen core math skills before the new school year begins.

Strong math confidence is built on solid foundations. This 15-hour private intensive focuses on reinforcing essential number sense, computational fluency, and problem-solving strategies so students return to school prepared — not overwhelmed. We revisit key concepts, close skill gaps, and build accuracy and efficiency through guided practice and feedback.

Whether your student needs to rebuild confidence, strengthen fundamentals, or prepare for more advanced coursework, this structured summer support provides the time and repetition necessary to create durable understanding.

Algebra 2 is infamously hard, but it doesn’t have to feel so overwhelming. In schools today, we structure math classes so that students take a break with Geometry between Algebra 1 and

This summer in Foundations of Algebra, reach back and reinforce the skills that will follow into Algebra 2 that may have faded in your student’s year off from Algebra. Instead of spending time refreshing old skills while trying to keep up with new ones – come into the new academic year prepared.

Chemistry is challenging, never mind the extension into AP Chemistry. Learn what skills from your basic chemistry knowledge will really follow you into the AP Chemistry course. Spend time this summer mastering those skills, bridging the gap between courses, and building a strong base of knowledge to pull from when things get difficult during the year. Learn from an AP expert what the scoring team is really looking for, and how to meet those expectations easily.

AP Biology is one of the most challenging conceptual courses available, but it doesn’t have to feel like it. Spend a summer bridging the gap between your basic biology knowledge and the advanced lessons in AP Biology. Learn from an expert in AP Biology what basic knowledge is most important to reinforce. Extend your knowledge of what AP really wants and how to answer science questions in the format that will be expected. Dissect AP Biology questions so you don’t have to spend the energy learning that on-the-go next year.
