A Successful Summer Learning Academy was held in both 2021 and 2022, in spite of COVID!
Watch the results here.
Here is some of the feedback:
From the students
“I’ve had a lot of fun and I’ve grown a lot too.”
“It taught me to be brave and strong.”
“ I hope I come back next year.”
“I’m going to read more.”
“I am proud that I have gotten better at things.”
“It was so fun and the program got me prepared...(for fall classes)”
From their teachers
“...the kids reestablished a solid base which they needed after the last year and a half.”
“I am so proud to be a part of something so special as BASIC’s summer Learning Academy.”
From a parent
“Thank you for inviting my children to such a beautiful experience of summer classes...
I have never looked at them so happy and at the same time sad because classes are ending.”
