Maintain Academic Momentum this Summer with Academic Ignition

Give your high schooler the advantage of continued learning with our Academic Ignition summer program, designed specifically for rising 10th-12th graders. With expert instruction from Howard School teachers and Speech Language Pathologists in small classes of 10 or fewer students, your child will strengthen essential skills in math, literacy, and executive functioning.

Choose from flexible scheduling options across two sessions (June 2-6 and June 9-13), with courses in Math Literacy, Note-Taking, Presentation Skills, Executive Functioning, Reading Comprehension, and Writing and Grammar. Each 90-minute block provides intensive, focused instruction. 

Spaces are limited. Click the links below for more information.
