"Passport to the World" Summer Program

Each week this summer we will travel to a new country through the use of books, media, maps, and our imagination. We will play games, listen to music, explore the arts, discover through hands on science experiments, research world and cultural geography, and learn through our interests.

The programs are unique each week so families can easily pick and choose the weeks to enroll without the students feeling lost. You also do not have to be enrolled in our school year program to take advantage of our summer program. It is open to all students between 5 and 12 years old.

The cost for the summer program is $155.00 per week for the full day program which runs from 9 am to 4 pm each day. For those students that need extended hours, we provide an extended option from 7 am to 5:30 pm for an additional $25.00 per week. We also offer a weekly $5 discount for families that register for 7 or more weekly sessions.

New Payment Option: Only pay a 10% deposit at time of registration and pay the remaining balance prior to the start of each week. No extra charge for this option!
