Academy Summer

From the stage to the makerspace, the basketball court to the tennis court, the fields to the pool, Week 2 of MS programming was full of hands-on fun!

Campers built, coded, created, or played, performed, and made memories that will last all summer. We can’t wait to see what Week 3 brings! ☀️

Fun and excitement during week 4 in the Jr. Academies! Campers are becoming artists, athletes, scientists, and linguists, and experienced a surprise visit from Mr. Essery’s bearded dragon. Big shoutout to our teachers and counselors who are bringing our programs to life. Can’t wait to see what new discoveries next week brings!

What better way to spend your first day than with Academy Summer? ☀️

Our new Head of School, Michael Turner, spent part of his first day on campus visiting Academy Summer, meeting campers and staff, and experiencing firsthand the vibrant community that makes our summer programs so special.

With hundreds of campers, dozens of unique programs, and nine weeks of learning, exploration, and fun, Academy Summer is in full swing, and we were proud to share it all with him!

Welcome to the Academy family, Mr. Turner!
