Summer Enrichment Programs

Get a head start for the coming school year by attending the A+ Summer Program!

Summer isn’t just a time to relax and have fun.  It’s also the ideal season to get a jumpstart on the academic challenges all students will face as they move to the next grade level. During the months of July and August, the A+ Program offers two intensive sessions in which students study materials and concepts that are taught in their upcoming grade level.

Summer sessions are run with the same rigor and intensity as the regular school year.  Our curriculum is carefully designed by accredited teaching professionals to exceed state standards for students of all grades.  By going above and beyond regular curriculum, the A+ Summer Program is perfect for gifted learners and talented students eager to accelerate their academics and develop the skills they’ll need in college.

English Reading and Writing Enhancement

The A+ English Program features a comprehensive mix of literature and composition that will enable our students to excel in writing and test-taking.

We focus on:

  • Engaging with advanced-level texts to prepare students for the upcoming school year.
  • Nurturing critical thinking skills through interactive discussions and challenging writing assignments.
  • Active reading and notetaking to improve overall reading comprehension.
  • Brainstorming ideas and creating detailed outlines for all essay writing tasks.
  • Effectively structuring, organizing and developing ideas to produce polished and sophisticated essays.

Enrichment in Mathematics

The A+ Math Program employs a challenging new mathematics curriculum that helps students excel in mathematics at any level. Our comprehensive Math Program addresses basic skills to advanced mathematical concepts. We provide the fundamentals for success both in the classroom and on standardized tests.

Students will:

  • Work with challenging course materials that encourage advanced thinking.
  • Learn to interpret and solve word problems.
  • Boost study skills and practice test-taking strategies.
  • Refine math skills through homework, quizzes and a final exam.

Full Day Summer Program

Benefits:
  • Gain experience and hone skills from different types of classes
  • Combine both academic study and soft skill development
  • Improve their leadership, creative thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills
  • Spend summers meaningfully
  • The best part of our unique program? Parents don’t have to pick students up in the middle of the day

A+ Full-Day Summer Program gives students the opportunity to take a class in the morning and participate in fun, educational activities in the afternoon.

Our afternoon program activities include creative writing workshops, public speaking training, STEM, test-taking skills, arts and crafts, and organizing and performing in a talent show. We take advantage of Boston’s many educational and historical sites to encourage learning outside of the classroom. In the A+ Full-Day Program, students might visit:

  • The Boston Public Library
  • The Museum of Fine Arts
  • The Massachusetts State House
  • The Isabella Stuart Gardner Museum
  • The Institute of Contemporary Art

“What I like most about A+ is being taught concepts instead of just reading them from a textbook. For the SAT, I am learning more than what I could from reading a test prep book on my own. With the strategies I have learned, I feel that a 2400 is achievable!”

“The classes really forced me to do a lot of SAT practice problems that allowed me to become familiar with the actual questions on the exam. The teachers are really approachable and not intimidating, and they shared their own experiences with the SAT as well. It’s nice to have a different outlook on the test and hear about what to expect after we complete it!”

Mother of Peter Zhu

My two children started at A+ in February, 2015. Within less than 8 months, their academic English has greatly improved! My 11th grader, Peter, has improved more than 300 points on his SAT after three sessions of study. He has also accumulated very valuable leadership experience through his time volunteering at A+ during this summer.

Mother of Angel

"My 10 year-old daughter Angel was not able to understand the teachers in school when she first started her study in the U.S. early this year, however, through this past half year of study at A+, Angel has caught up with her academic study and she has no problem participating in school now. Angel was shy to speak when she started school, but she is confident now to communicate with her teachers and peers."

Jianping

"I am a parent of two high school students. Both of children come to A+ Summer Programs for many years. The reason they want to come back again and again is because the teachers here are very knowledgeable in their subject areas and also they know how to communicate with kids in a way so that the kids can understand new materials very quickly and effectively. Usually, my son will fight with us for any extra courses outside of classroom. But A+ Program is the one he is always looking forward to be in. I highly recommend A+ Program to any parents, who want their children to get either extra challenges or extra help besides school works."
