2026 Summer Bridge Academy for Grades K-3

At Summer Bridge Academy, learning doesn’t stop when school ends - it comes alive! Through engaging, hands-on experiences and small-group instruction, children strengthen their reading, writing and math skills while building confidence and curiosity. Each day blends meaningful academics with creativity, movement and exploration, creating a summer experience that feels fun, supportive and inspiring.

Each session runs for four days (Monday through Thursday) from 9:30am–12:30pm.

Tuition is $295 per session at our Wexford studio. Participants should bring a water bottle and a nut-free snack. The themes for each session are listed below!

Summer Bridge Academy is led by Ms. Amber, a fully certified Pennsylvania educator with over 20 years of teaching experience and her assistants. Sessions are capped at 12 learners to ensure personalized attention. Students are grouped by skill level for academic instruction within a supportive mixed-age environment.

Optional early drop-off (9:00am) and late pick-up (1:00pm) are available for an additional $5 per option, per day.
