Boston's Higher Ground - Surround Care Coalition Summer Learning Academy

The Surround-Care Coalition (SCC) will conduct a Summer Learning Academy for 100 students in grades K-6. The program will prioritize students who are or were homeless and participate in our Family-Led Stability Pilot (FLSP). The program will consist of 50% guided ELA/Math education and 50% strategic activities aimed at overall physical and mental health and wellbeing that compliments the expeditionary learning curriculum. One day each week will be devoted to a full-day excursion to Thompson Island Outward Bound Education Center (TIOBEC) Discover Program. On select days, day trips will be planned to local points of interest that are fun, stimulating, and educational in nature including the Museum of Fine Arts, Museum of Science, Franklin Park Zoo, and the Children’s Museum.
