Based on last year's success, St. Catharine Summer School is back with more options for a wider range of students. We are blessed to have partnered with

Testimonials
“As a first year mom I was interested in sending [my son] to something over the summer to help him transition. Math and Writing camp were perfect opportunities. Although he was not has excited to spend his summerdays actually in school, once he attended he was blown away. I remember him getting in the car the first day and saying 'so I am coming back tomorrow, right?'
Excuse me! That was music to my ears...
I am still not sure what made it so fun he wanted to come back every day but that is the St. Catharine way! Learning is fun and cool and for everyone. The camp allowed [my son] to make new friends and get a small jump on the school year which has paid off. I would recommend it to everyone.”

"Summer school helped the student's to understand my expectations in reading and writing. It helped me because I was able to teach them many things that we typically learn the first couple of weeks of school.
When school started, the kids who did attend were more engaged when I started teaching the information. Their engagement seemed to engage their peers more. It was also nice to get to know the students before school began, especially because of their individual learning styles/needs. It seemed that this also made the students more comfortable on the first day of school because I already had an idea of how to best help them learn.
Overall, the summer school program was successful in more ways than we had expected."
