A parent emailed me yesterday asking about summer programs which offer serious academics. Those programs are available. Most private schools offer summer programs. These can range from a few weeks of day camp with minimal academics to full fledged summer institutes at which some serious academic work is expected. Places at most of these fill up very quickly. In fact you may actually have missed the deadline for some of them. Don't delay! Call or email your program of choice today.

Here's a selection of summer programs. Use it as a starting point. It's also worth checking with your local schools to see what they have to offer.
