Lab School of Washington
Biography
Summer is the time for fun! It’s also the time when academic skills can slip, making it difficult for students to maintain the progress they have worked so hard to achieve. The Lab School’s summer programs are designed to help students discover their strengths, exercise their creativity, tackle academic challenges, and prepare for the school year ahead. Lab’s programs offer options for enrichment as well as for filling in gaps in learning, especially important after the past year. Our four-week program is brimming with imagination, excitement, and innovative teaching to help students understand their needs, address their weaknesses, build confidence, and develop techniques for becoming independent learners.
