Summer is often seen as a time for relaxation, but it can also be a period of growth, discovery, and skill-building. The IES Summer Program helps students make the most of their break by combining academic enrichment, creative exploration, and social development in an engaging and supportive environment.
Preventing the Summer Slide with Engaging Learning
Research shows that students can lose 2-3 months of academic progress over the summer, a phenomenon known as the “summer slide.” Unlike traditional summer school, IES takes a dynamic, project-based approach to keep learning exciting. Through STEM workshops, creative language arts activities, and real-world math applications, students retain knowledge while having fun.
Exploring New Interests and Hidden Talents
Many students don’t get exposure to arts, technology, or leadership during the school year. The IES program’s elective-based model allows them to try new things, such as digital arts, entrepreneurship, and performing arts. Some even discover lifelong passions like one 10-year-old who built his first app after joining a coding workshop.
Building Confidence and Social Skills
Academic success isn’t just about grades it’s also about teamwork, resilience, and leadership. IES integrates social-emotional learning (SEL) through group projects, peer mentoring, and presentation days. Students develop confidence in expressing their ideas, with many, like 16-year-old Elisa, gaining the courage to join student council after participating.
Gaining an Edge for Future Success
The program doesn’t just benefit students in the short term it prepares them for college and career opportunities. Participants leave with portfolios, certificates of completion, and strong teacher recommendations. According to a 2024 survey, 89% of IES alumni felt more prepared for advanced classes, and 72% credited the program for sparking a lasting interest in a field.
