Marburn Academy 2021 Summer School Brochure

SUMMER SCHOOL JULY 7 – JULY 30, 2021

Create a love of learning at Marburn’s Summer School! arburn Academy’s Summer School is an immersive, four-week academic skill-based program.

Throughout their time at Marburn, students discover their academic strengths, build confidence, minimize learning loss, and prepare for the next grade level.

The programs are specifically designed for students with average-to above-average intelligence, who also have learning differences in reading, writing, mathematics and attention. While the best fit for our summer program are students with a diagnosis of dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, or ADHD, it is not a requirement that a child have an official diagnosis to attend Summer School.

Instruction is delivered in small group or 1:1 settings using multisensory, hands-on techniques that reinforce and promote retention of information. Summer School 2021 for all students will be offered in-person.* *In-person programming will follow appropriate safety protocols. In the event that we are not permitted to hold an in-person program, parents will be notified

by May 14, 2021. At that point, we would move to a fully-virtual program for all participants.
