ThinkingCapsSummer
During the summer months we offer our students the opportunity to enhance their learning experience. Through the summer programs we review materials from prior years of study and introduce the next year’s topics. The programs revolve around a specially designed curriculum that allows for a smooth transition from grade to grade.
ThinkingCapsSummer Programs are offered in New York, Westchester, Connecticut, and Long Island.
