Summer Program
Armstrong’s Summer School includes the same teaching techniques and curricula employed during the regular school year. It provides students with dyslexia in grades 2-7 opportunities to build upon academic skills through our expert remediation in literacy and math while also exploring fun and creative activities through strength-based programs in art, music, movement, cooking, and design thinking.
There are also two supplemental options to extend the day and build more skills in Musical Theatre and Basketball Camps.
Current Armstrong students, newly enrolled students, and prospective students can attend Armstrong’s Summer School.
