Summer Learning Academy: July 6 - August 2, 2023
Location: UCI - Steele/Burnand Anza-Borrego Desert Research Center

The Learning Academy was created after research proved that students who do not meet critical education milestones average lower pay and risk remaining in a low-income state indefinitely. The results are worse for Latinx students - nearly all learners in our program. Thus the 4-week intensive summer education program was born.
Learning Academy offers smaller class sizes, over 100 hours of instruction per student, and classes tailored to the needs of our community. Courses include 2nd/3rd-grade reading, elementary grades math, middle school math, and a writing class to further our English language learners' grasp of the language.
Learning Academy has three goals. All students will:
• Improve their performance measured by pre-and post-testing and standardized tests, and 35 – 50% of our students will reach their grade equivalent on a standardized test.
• Develop positive attitudes toward reading, math, or English and a love of learning.
• Demonstrate greater than 95% daily attendance.
Through Learning Academy, we aim to help students achieve grade level while building a love of learning and self-esteem so they can do better in any setting.
Classes in Summer 2023:
· 2nd & 3rd Grade Elementary Reading Class
· 4th & 5th Grade Math (focusing on addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division…including fractions and decimals)
· 7th & 8th Grade Math (focusing on concepts like fractions, ratios, and percentages)
· Upper Elementary/Middle School Writing Class
Headmaster: Tim White
FAQ’s:
How can I enroll my child in the program?
Although we would love to invite all of the students in our community, participation in the Learning Academy is by invitation only. Students are selected annually by school administrators and BASIC members based on their need and our availability. However, a waitlist is maintained as we fill spaces. If you are interested in having your student attend in the future, please reach out to BASIC Development Director,
Eddie Rivera at (442) 358-6519 or basicdvpdirector@gmail.com.
