Students can lose up to two months of academic progress over the summer if they don’t engage in structured learning. This “summer slide” makes it harder for children to catch up when the new school year begins, especially for those already struggling with reading, writing, or math.
That’s why The Learning Lab’s S.M.A.R.T. Summer Program is designed to help kids stay ahead while making learning fun and engaging. Our structured summer curriculum targets key academic areas to keep students motivated, confident, and prepared for success in the fall.
The 2025 S.M.A.R.T. Summer Program starts June 16th and runs through August 1st. For important dates, view the complete summer calendar.

Who Can Benefit from the S.M.A.R.T. Summer Program?
The Learning Lab’s S.M.A.R.T. Summer Program is designed for elementary and middle school students who need additional academic support to close learning gaps, prevent regression, and build strong foundational skills.
However, every child learns differently, so we start with a comprehensive student evaluation to identify their unique learning strengths and challenges. This process includes:
- Academic Placement Screening: Identifies each child’s reading, writing, and math skill level to create a targeted learning plan.
- Learning Style Assessment: This helps us understand how your child learns best so we can tailor instruction accordingly.
- Personalized Goal-Setting: Based on assessment results, we create customized enrichment plans to ensure students get the support they need in a way that works for them.
This structured support ensures that every student receives a tailored learning experience, keeping them engaged and making real progress throughout the summer.
