An independent co-educational school serving preschool through Grade 8.
Summer at Clark

Age 3 - Kindergarten

The Reggio Summer Program offers both morning and full-day options for children age 3 through kindergarten. This fun and dynamic summer program encourages hands-on learning as children explore their interests in our indoor and outdoor spaces. While we include the arts, music, play, nature, and motor skill activities each day, the philosophy of our inquiry-based program assures that no two days are ever alike.

As the only Reggio program in the region, we believe: children have over 100 languages, children learn through interacting with peers, children are capable people who can drive their own learning, and children feel valued when their work is documented.

We structure our time with your child in a predictable rhythm that allows us to follow his or her investigative process—wherever it leads. Families receive a digital journal each day with photos and stories from their child’s day.

"Summer at Clark is a wonderful way to keep children active, engaged, and curious during the summer. For little ones it is also the perfect toe-dip into the waters of school at Clark. They are able to get familiar with our campus and teachers while experiencing exciting activities every day!" ~ Kara Lewis, Reggio Summer Instructor
