Enriching Curriculum Helps Bridge the Summer
Learning Gap and Support Next-Grade Readiness
Summer is still three months away, but families are already
making plans for kids to attend summer camp. Varsity Tutors, a
Nerdy company, today unveiled its 2024 summer programming with an
emphasis on accelerating students toward their academic goals.
“There is a frenetic pace to the school year, requiring lots of
students to give their full effort just to keep up,” said Varsity
Tutors’ Chief Academic Officer, Brian Galvin. “Summer is an
opportunity to not just catch up, but finally get ahead while peers
are taking a break. And school is a lot more achievable – and fun –
when you can start the next year ahead of pace.”
Varsity Tutors’ summer learning programs address two of the most
common worries in education: the dreaded “summer slide” in core
subjects, and the complexity of the college admissions process. By
utilizing the summer months to directly address each of these
challenges, Varsity Tutors intends to help families transform their
outlook on education for the upcoming school year.
Featured programs include:
- “Bridging the Gap” series in math, reading, and writing, in
which students reinforce the most foundational skills from their
previous grade level and preview fall skills from their upcoming
class.
- College prep opportunities with SAT, ACT, application essays,
and candidate strategy emphases.
“We see summer as a cure for parent FOMO,” Galvin said. “For
every parent concerned about whether they should be doing more to
prep for college, or whether their learner’s future is in doubt
because they’re behind - or not part of the advanced group in
class, we’ll provide that opportunity this summer.”
Programs will include:
- Adaptive assessments and personalized learning plans to help
students use their summer time effectively
- Expert-led group classes on a variety of schedules to enable
flexibility
- Asynchronous video lessons and activities
- Expert-led special events, such as college admissions strategy
sessions with former Ivy League admissions officers Devery Doran
and Joanna Graham
“Our goal is to balance the best of both worlds this summer,”
Galvin said. “Students don’t need to spend all summer in school to
make progress and they don’t need to rearrange their calendar. But
if they can fit effective summer learning into their schedule,
they’ll come back just as refreshed as their classmates and even
more ready to hit the ground running.”
