Founded in 1980, Morningside Academy helps students catch up, build up, and get ahead. Some students have diagnosed learning disabilities (LD), others are labeled Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD); some lag behind their peer group for no “diagnosed” reason. Our dynamic research-based methodology offers small group instruction with students placed in classes by skill level instead of by age or grade. This leads to exceptional academic gains and successful citizenry. Summer School offers flexible scheduling, full-day or half-day, for two- to four-week enrollment.

Mercer Education has gained recognition for its exceptional summer programs in language arts, mathematics, test preparation, college admissions and ESL. Students are carefully assessed and attend small group courses (limited to 6 to 8 students) customized to meet their academic needs and to prepare them for the challenges of the coming year. Throughout the year, ME provides tutoring as well as college counseling and established SAT/ACT test prep courses.
