The Summer Institute is an academically based enrichment program with a focus on maintaining and improving reading, written expression, and math skills.  Our special education teacher with additional training in teaching children on the autism spectrum, has designed the program using a "stacking" approach which alternates the more difficult academic tasks with fun, summer themed projects and activities.  Students of all abilities in 1st through 8th grade are welcome to apply.  The cost of the program is $625 for the entire five week session which runs from Monday, July 7 through Friday, August 8 and the hours are 9:00 am until 2:00 pm.  Please call 636-230-0580.  The address for the St. Gemma Center is 15712 Clayton Road, Ellisville, MO 63011.
