Summer Learning

Summer Learning Opportunities

Explore. Empower. Achieve.

Our summer learning opportunities provide students with the space to explore new ideas and maintain academic momentum outside of the traditional school year. By engaging in reading and independent inquiry, students take ownership of their personal growth and empower themselves to return to the classroom ready to contribute to our school community. These experiences are designed to help every student achieve the East Haven Public Schools Vision of the Graduate by fostering the curiosity and self-direction necessary for lifelong success.

Our Philosophy

Whole Child Learning

Our summer opportunities support the whole child by encouraging students to explore personal interests and learn independently or with others.

Academic Excellence

We maintain a standard of academic excellence during the summer by providing high-quality resources that challenge students to remain informed thinkers and resourceful problem solvers.

Embracing Growth

By participating in summer inquiry, students embrace growth through self-direction and perseverance, returning to school with the confidence and momentum needed for the year ahead.

Join the Superintendent’s Reading Challenge!  Be on the lookout for weekly Parent Square posts with the weekly challenge task!
