Summer Intensives

Less slide, more stride!

Make Real Progress this Summer—Even with a Busy Schedule

We’ve designed 2 flexible options so your family can enjoy summer—and your child can keep growing. Whether you’re home all season or in and out of town, there’s a plan that fits.

Both programs are designed to deliver big results in a short time by meeting multiple days in a row — and that’s intentional. Research shows this kind of structure helps retrain the brain for reading and builds lasting skills, especially for students with dyslexia, processing challenges, or difficulty retaining information.

Summer Option 1

1:1 Summer Progress Weeks (Grades K-12)

Keep your child on track with all the progress they’ve made through focused, 1:1 summer support—flexible enough to fit around vacations, camps, and everything in between.

  • $280/week - Each week includes 4 private sessions (Monday–Thursday) at your scheduled time.

  • Choose from literacy or K-5 math support.

Why four days in a row?

Because brains love consistency. Meeting back-to-back helps your child stay in the zone, build confidence, and make progress that sticks. (Yes—it’s science. And it works!)

  • 📅 Choose from 7 available weeks—only book the ones you’re in town

  • 💸 $280/week | Priority scheduling for current LU students

  • 💡 Great value at $70/session—less than our regular private rate

  • ⚡ This year, we are introducing MATH!

Offered the following Weeks: June 9, June 16, June 23, July 7, July 14, July 28, and August 4th.

Summer Option 2

Six-Week Literacy Intensive (Grades 3-12)

Designed for students serious about closing learning gaps, this program helps them gain the skills and confidence to move forward & accelerate their progress in reading and writing.

  • $1,200 for all six weeks – 44 hours of expert-led instruction

Why six weeks?

Because consistency builds momentum! Meeting four days in a row helps students stay engaged, focused, and on track.

It’s a proven strategy for closing gaps quickly and keeping your child’s skills sharp through the summer months.

  • 📅 2-hour sessions, Monday–Thursday – no big breaks, no distractions.

  • No need to sacrifice summer. Keep long weekends with all Fridays off!

  • 💡 Consecutive weeks improve retention—students make up to 30% faster progress

  • ⚡ Six weeks of focused learning that delivers faster, lasting results.

Runs June 23–July 31 @9:00 AM or @12:00 PM (No sessions on July 3 or 24)
