Summer is a time for rest and relaxation. But it is often hard, during this time, for some students to retain knowledge of the prior nine months of learning. Because of this, many students fall into the “summer slide,” which can put them behind academically.
Allow your student to recharge. Allow your student to regroup. But most importantly, allow your student to retain. Sign them up for our summer programs. Let’s move forward with learning, not backward. Contact your student’s school to learn more.
