Summer Learning Program
June 25 - July 25 | Monday - Friday
The 2025 Summer Program at WPS is an extension of the WPS philosophy, principles and model that takes place during the summer months. It provides students with the unique opportunity to participate in an individually designed program aimed to enhance academic skills and foster independence. The strength of the Summer Enrichment Program has always been and remains the individualized education for each student. Classes do not exceed eight pupils per class, with most classes averaging four students per class. There is also a very high teacher-to-student ratio during the summer.

Who attends?
Students from fourth through twelfth grades from private, public, mainstream and special education settings come to WPS seeking to improve their academic skills. Students come from various Fairfield and Westchester county locations. Enrollment in the Summer Program is approximately 30 students, of which an average of 55% are from WPS. Students from AITE-Stamford, Eagle Hill, Franklin Academy, Villa Maria, as well as surrounding areas of Darien, Easton, Fairfield, Greenwich, Hamden, New Canaan, Norwalk, Ridgefield, Stamford, Trumbull, Weston and Westport public schools participate in our summer program.
Faculty
With a small, closely-knit staff of WPS teachers, the high degree of communication among faculty allows instructors to use the Continuous Feedback System to maximize the growth potential of each student. Close communication with parents continues throughout the summer and parents are updated weekly. Most teachers have more than two or three years of experience teaching in the Summer Program.
Academic Day Program
Students are grouped according to skill level and learning style in small classes of no more than eight students. Additionally, each student receives daily one-on-one instruction targeting areas of greatest need within Winston’s Focus program. The program is designed to develop language, encoding/decoding, reading comprehension, writing, math, test preparation, organization and time management skills at each student’s appropriate level of interest.
In addition to daily one-on-one Focus sessions, students will be enrolled in the following courses:
- Written Language
- Reading Comprehension
- Mathematics
- Organization and Study Skills
Modified sessions and an independent study program available upon request.
