The Giant Summer Academy is a free four-week program that includes breakfast and lunch, academic lessons, enrichment sessions, outdoor activities, and field trips. This year's theme is 'Traveling the World'.

Classes will run Monday through Thursday, June 4 through June 28. Breakfast is served at 7:30 a.m.; classes will run from 8 a.m. to 1:30, with lunch served midday.

~ Week 1 (June 4-7): Technology
~ Week 2 (June 11-14): Exploring science (field trip week)
~ Week 3 (June 18-21): Exploring the arts
~ Week 4 (June 25-28): My Passport project completion (field trip week)

Academic sessions will be tailored to each student's academic needs. (These will not necessarily be grade-level groups. Rather, each student will be guided and challenged to grow from whatever their starting point is, and will have the chance to interact with others who are at a similar level.) Enrichment sessions will be part of every day, but this year they will be staggered throughout the day, like specials (music, art, etc.) are during the regular school year.

Location:
~ Incoming 1st through 4th grade students will be at Frances Slocum Elementary
~ Incoming 5th- and 6th-graders will be at Justice Intermediate School
~ Incoming 7th- and 8th-graders will be at McCulloch Junior High School.

Transportation
Bus pickup and dropoff will be provided to all Giant Summer Academy students.
