Summer Semester 2024 at AMPed Academy
Avoid the dreaded summer slide! Whether your student is a current AMPed Academy student or attends another school, help your child get a headstart for the upcoming year with a fun and educational summer semester at AMPed Academy! We work with students and parents to identify areas to focus on, while projects make learning fun, reinforces concepts and prepares students for the upcoming year.

Is the AMPed Summer Semester school or a camp?
It’s both! The summer semester is a fully encapsulated program. For students currently enrolled in the AMPed Academy, they will recognize the format of project-based learning that is similar to their daily activities at the school. For students not enrolled, they can jump right in and participate in projects and enjoy learning in a fun and educational program that doesn’t feel like school!
What does a day at AMPed Summer Semester look like?
Summer is the perfect time for learning. Nice weather, longer days, and fewer responsibilities mean kids are free to explore, ponder, investigate, and deepen their understanding of the world.

Outside learning
Hands on science, reading in the grass, building a fort under a tree, tracking animals… the possibilities are endless.

Our bodies need fuel to think, learn, and do.
Long term Project Based Learning
Each cohort has their own important project to work on this summer. Maybe you’re helping design, build, and promote a new community garden. Maybe you’re developing a way to protect some of the native species that frequent our property. Maybe your cohort is planning an end of summer carnival with games, prizes, snacks, and more.

Skill Building
In the heat of the afternoon, we’ll slow down and work on building the skills we need to truly THRIVE in the fall. Hands on math, primary source investigations, study skills, literacy topics and more.
