COMPREHENSIVE SUMMER SCHOOL SOLUTIONS
University Instructors (UI) is proud to offer a comprehensive summer school solution for grades K-8 (rising 1st graders to 8th graders). EPIC Summer Academy is designed to provide high-quality, standards-aligned learning experiences to prepare students for a successful upcoming school year.
UI’s ELA, math, and optional STEM curricula mitigate the “summer slide,” and, where needed, provide targeted remediation so learning gaps do not persist.
EPIC Summer Academy increases the number of students prepared to begin the upcoming school year and provides access to an engaging, exciting learning curriculum over the summer. This solution provides teachers and summer school leaders with instructional resources and support structures to deliver a successful, high-impact summer of learning, while minimizing the operational and logistical burdens of summer school for district staff.
Participating students experienced growth in both math and ELA. Students gained on average an additional four to five weeks of math learning and three to four weeks of ELA learning compared to their peers who did not participate in the program.
