Program Options
High School/ Middle School Summer Program
Our intensive academic semester empowers students to recover credits, stay on track for graduation, and avoid repeating a school year. With expert educators skilled in teaching all New York State Common Core subjects and enriching electives, we provide a comprehensive and engaging learning experience.
Beyond academics, our dedicated learning specialists help students minimize regression while strengthening essential learning strategies. As a high-support program, Academics Wets integrates a range of counseling service (e.g., individual and group therapy, art therapy, and more) into the school day, ensuring both academic success and emotional well-being.
But we know summer should also be fun! Our program features exciting field trips and weekly non-academic activities, creating a well-rounded experience that balances learning with enjoyment.

Lower School Prosocial Summer Program
Our dynamic summer program offers lower school students a blend of academic enrichment and prosocial activities designed to prevent learning regression and improve self-regulation. Mornings are dedicated to engaging, interactive lessons in core subjects, reinforcing essential skills in a fun and supportive environment. Our experienced educators use hands-on learning strategies, project-based activities, and small group instruction to ensure each child receives personalized attention and support.
Afternoons focus on therapeutic activities such as art, social skills training, and outdoor exploration. Infused with fun, the goal is to develop frustration tolerance and improve impulse control in a social setting. Students participate in mindfulness exercises, team-building activities, and creative expression workshops to build confidence and resilience. Our goal is to provide a nurturing environment where students progress academically, socially, and emotionally.
Additionally, our program includes weekly field trips and special events to create lasting memories. Whether it’s a visit to a local museum, a nature hike, or a themed activity day, students will enjoy a well-rounded experience that balances structured learning with exciting adventures.
This holistic approach ensures a balanced summer experience, fostering both intellectual and social development. We believe that every child deserves an enriching and joyful summer that supports their growth in all aspects of life.
