How Our Reading Program Works
Our 6-week reading program goes beyond a typical class. Each week, your high schooler will join an expert-led, 1-hour class that's just the beginning of the journey.
Between classes, structured assignments, interactive lessons, and guided reading in exceptional books provide almost daily skills practice. This comprehensive approach turns summer into a lively learning experience, culminating in great experiences with great books.
