A summer camp to remember-- better grades in the fall! Every year, the cycle repeats itself. After a summer spent swimming, playing, or even working, children head back to class ready for a new school year. But are they really ready? Research proves that when students don't keep their minds sharp over summer vacation, they take a month or more to get back into the swing of productive learning when school starts again. By enrolling your child in a summer program at Oxford Learning, you can ensure that your son or daughter will spend the time exploring, discovering, creating and learning. Who knew kids could have so much fun improving their math, reading, writing, study, homework and learning skills?

Under the guidance of our qualified instructors, your child will blossom with individual attention. Our summer enrichment programs produce confident learners ready to face the classroom in the fall. They get better grades and develop a love for learning! Summer Brain Camp programs Kids who stay mentally active during the summer, start school prepared to learn.
