Academic Summer Programs

 

Welcome to The Southport School's Summer Programs 2020

Extended School Year - Two & Five Week Programs

June 29 - July 31, 2020

 

It's well known that children can lose considerable momentum when they are away from school during the summer months. Many need ongoing remedial assistance and/or specific instruction in learning strategies and study skills to maintain their progress. The Summer Programs at The Southport School are designed to help. Students entering grades K-9 are immersed in integrated programs that are indivdualized and grade-appropriate in a postive learning environment. For more information on Summer Programs, contact our Admissions Office by email or call the main office at 203.254.2044.

Once your application is complete, you will hear from one of the directors of the Summer Program to schedule a campus visit. During the campus visit, children applying for the five-week program will be administered a brief reading and math assessment.

After the visit, the admissions committee meets to throughly assess the potential fit between student and program. Decision letters are sent within two weeks. Please note participation in the Summer Programs does not guarantee placement in the academic year and is a separate process.
