Breakthrough Summer Academy!
Breakthrough’s Academic Summer Academy is the highlight of our 7th - 9th grade students’ experience. Our near-peer teaching interns - well-trained high school and college students — engage youth in literature, writing, math, and outrageous science experiences. And with a student-teacher ratio of just 8:1, Breakthrough Sacramento classes are small, allowing for individualized attention. Make no mistake - this is not traditional Summer School! Learning takes place in classrooms and out-of-doors, integrating games, competitions, songs, raps, and chants. Students also take part in:
Field Trips: Bus trip to tour a college and spend an afternoon splashing at a public pool
Events: Olympics Day, Talent Show, Spirit Day, “Pi” in the face Day, Career Day, and Community Service Day
Making New Friends: Meet students from three local school districts, all of whom share a common interest to succeed academically
Mapping a Path to College: With the help of Breakthrough, students create a personalized plan to achieve their goals and identify the resources available to help make their college-going dreams an affordable reality!
Summer 2023 will be 6 weeks, all in-person starting June 26th!
