OUR PROGRAM’S MISSION: ACADEMIC ENRICHMENT Academic Enrichment for students involves reinforcement and enhancement of the skills learned during the regular school year. In this program, certified teachers will work closely with students to build on those skills in a fun and engaging way. While the courses students participate in will be challenging, they do not carry the same rigorous demands of the typical school year. Their work is not graded and homework will not be assigned. Academic Enrichment is an opportunity for students to explore different subject areas in a more relaxed, fun environment with teachers who have a genuine passion for their craft. Every day during our program, students will receive 45 minutes of instruction in the areas of ELA/literacy, math/technology, and physical education. A new unit in these areas will begin each week. Students will also participate in two specialist classes every day that will alternate on a daily basis. This will give students exposure to and build skills in the areas of fine arts and technology. Our Academic Enrichment program is extremely structured and students will follow a schedule similar to what they would have during a typical school day. Students will have access to additional support from adult and high school/college staff in every class. *PLEASE NOTE THAT LUNCH WILL NOT BE SERVED. STUDENTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO BRING A SNACK.

FRIDAY EXCURSIONS Every Friday during the Summer Program, parents can sign their children up to attend field trips. Registration for field trips is separate from registration for the Monday through Thursday program. Children do NOT have to be registered for the Monday through Thursday program in order to attend a field trip. Field trips are open to all WPS students entering Kindergarten through 7th grade. Space is limited for field trips and reservations are secured on a first-come-first-serve basis. Discounts are available for students registered for the Summer Program (see registration page for more information).

EXTENDED DAY OPTIONS Wakefield Academy is able to offer families extended day options through our partnership with the Wakefield Recreation Department. Parents may drop off their children as early as 7am Monday through Friday for an additional $10 per day (due upon arrival). Parents may also register for an afternoon camp provided by the Wakefield Recreation Department that will offer childcare until 5:30pm. At the conclusion of Wakefield Academy’s program, staff from Wakefield Academy and Wakefield Recreation will transition those children participating in the afternoon camp over to the Recreation Department. This afternoon camp will be held on-site at the Galvin and students participating in both programs will be given time to eat a bagged lunch between programs. This afternoon program will also run on Fridays and can be attended by students when returning from field trips. Please visit the Wakefield Recreation Department’s website at www.wakerec.com or contact Recreation Director, Dan McGrath, at (781) 246-6389 or email at [email protected] for more information.
