Math Summer Bridge Program (Online)
1st – 8th Grade

Overview

Whether called the summer setback or summer slide, the learning loss students experience over the summer can have significant impact on their performance in the upcoming school year. Frequently contributing to a loss of 2+ months of skill, this happens during summer vacation when students don’t use the skills learned at school. The Summer Bridge Program in Mathematics will help minimize students’ loss of skills by giving them an instructor-led environment in which to review and practice skills learned or receive guided instruction on key topics covered in the grade they’re entering.

Presented as a "Visit to the Teacher’s Desk", these classes are designed to help your child review key skills from the previous grade or be prepared for the new school year! Each course is taught by a dedicated instructor who has experience working with elementary school students. The courses are interactive -- students will be able to ask and answer questions in real time.

Instructor

Auburn Youth Programs partners with Education Testing Consultants (ETC) to provide courses specifically designed for the Math Summer Bridge Program. The program is led by a team of former standardized exam question writers and test preparation experts who care about your success! Students will also have access to our expert ETC instructors beyond your classroom experience.

Each course consists of twelve (12) 50-minute sessions. The sessions are delivered in live-online format with a live instructor presenting each class sessions. Retail price for the courses is $299 per course. Sessions are divided into either a 6-week or 3-week schedule. In addition to the scheduled class sessions, students will have access to recorded versions of each class session which can be used to preview topics, replace sessions which the student is unable to attend, or review content from a different perspective.
