What is CSI Summer Learning Program?
The Community School Investigators (CSI) Summer Learning Program offers a variety of academic, recreational, and educational activities during the summer months that students would not otherwise experience in a safe and caring environment.
Every day from 9:00 am - 2:30 pm, children in grades 1-6 take part in numerous opportunities designed to strengthen their math, reading, and writing skills, along with problem solving and language acquisition. Instructors deliver academic activities in the morning and provide physical activity and cultural experiences in the afternoon. These opportunities include field trips, guest artists, sports and recreation activities. To ensure children make the most of the program, they also receive two nutritious meals and a snack each day.
