SUMMER TERM 2012

The Boyd School provides academic programs for children twelve months out of the year. This contin-ued learning calendar allows for an extended period of educational growth during the summer months when traditional programs are closed. Children enrolled in our Summer Term continue their academic progress and avoid the developmental regression associated with the traditional school year model.

The Summer Term is a relaxed environment offering children a hybrid educational experience combining our Montessori learning environments and materials with extended curriculum enrichments. The engaging thematic enrichments are designed to provide students with the opportunity to explore topics and the open-ended curriculum allows for the student to steer the outcome.
