The San Gabriel Educational Foundation is thrilled to offer SEF Summer Academy, a 2019 tuition-based summer program. SEF aims to offer appropriate classes that meet the individual needs of our community. This year we are offering a variety of enrichment classes that are academically challenging, student-oriented, and fun! Our classes are designed to complement the regular school-year program.

Students entering grades 2–8 attend three classes each day; incoming 1st-graders are in one self-contained class. Classes have a limited enrollment and are filled on a first-come, first-served basis.

The SEF Summer Academy is available to all students entering 1st through 8th grade residing in San Gabriel as well as surrounding communities, or those visiting San Gabriel for the summer months. Any student outside the SGUSD must provide proof of immunizations with registration.

Proceeds from this year’s Summer Academy will benefit our community, generating vital funds for programs that are no longer funded through the district. We could not provide this level of financial support without the help from families in the community. We hope you will find a summer opportunity here that meets your child’s needs and interests.

We look forward to seeing you this summer!!
