  • What will my child's day look like?

    Students participating in the Academic Day program are grouped based on their learning difficulty, skill level, and social-emotional needs. This allows our expert teachers to develop a summer curriculum that meets the skill and content needs of each student in a small group.

    Students will also work 1:1 with a Winston Prep teacher to focus on individualized remediation and skill development needs. Each student’s program is designed based upon our understanding of their learning profile which is rooted in their pattern of strengths and challenges in the cognitive, academic, and social-emotional realms. These three areas of skill sets are interdependent and our understanding and programming reflect the relationships among these skills.


    Students can participate in fun and engaging extracurricular activities at an additional cost. This approach overall ensures a tailored learning experience while fostering social connections and personal growth.
