AIM Academy to offer Summer Enrichment Program
Did you know research shows that all young people experience learning losses when they do not engage in educational activities during the summer? Now more than ever, students cannot afford to lose ground over the summer months.
AIM Academy’s fourweek, in-person Summer Enrichment Program in Conshohocken can help students catch up or build momentum through dynamic learning experiences integrating research-based teaching methods and creative, hands-on activities.
Explore Your World in grades 1-5
This summer, each grade will explore a different corner of the globe. Students will focus their reading, writing, math and humanities instruction on the people, places and animals of their region. By the end of the program, each child will become an expert in their subject and will astound you with their knowledge during our annual Summer Showcase.
For full-day students,
AIM’s action-packed afternoons include STEAM, arts, sports and games, not to mention special events on Fridays!
Groovy ’60s in grades 6-8
The theme for our 2022 middle school program is the Groovy ’60s. From the Space Race to Civil Rights, join us as we groove into learning. Middle school students will reinforce reading, writing and math skills as they weave space science and history into into this year’s program. Students will also have rotating electives with thematic STEAM and arts-based projects in our Global Innovation Hub.
Full-day students also have the opportunity to participate in four-week afternoon workshops covering a variety of high-interest areas, including the arts, science, sports/fitness and outdoor adventures.
Service Learning and Urban Studies in grades 9-12
It’s not your average summer school. Join us for four weeks of immersive, multidisciplinary study and seminar-based instruction exploring Philadelphia through the lens of Service Learning and Urban Studies.
Students will receive four weeks of on-campus learning with at least four offcampus excursions in the greater Philadelphia area. Locations may include a mural arts tour, visits to a local food bank and urban garden, housing- or education-based service projects and other community experiences.
The design of this program encourages student discussion and critical thinking, broadens background knowledge and supports the development of essential 21st century studentship skills. This is a morning-only program that runs from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Dates: July 5—29 Time: full day, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., or morning only, 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Location: AIM Academy, 1200 River Road, Conshohocken
