Two-week & five-week skill-building & learning strategies programs for students entering grades K–9
It’s well known that children can lose
considerable momentum when they’re
away from school during the summer
months. Many need ongoing assistance
and remediation to maintain their
progress.
Eagle Hill Southport School
is here to help.
In our summer programs, students
entering grades K–9 are immersed in
integrated programs that are hands-on,
dynamic, and fun.
Hands-on. Dynamic. Fun.
Five-week Programs
Monday to Friday • No classes held on July 4
All five-week programs include diagnostic testing, a parent-teacher conference,
and a “back to school” night where parents can hear from the teachers and
follow their child’s schedule.

In this non-graded academic program,
students are grouped by ability and age
into small classes that focus on their most
pressing educational needs. Every day,
students take classes in reading, language
arts, writing, and mathematics. Lessons
combine hands-on activities, such as
crafts and games, with technology and
traditional paper-and-pencil work. It’s
fast-paced and fun.
This program prepares students to meet
the ever-growing demands of middle
school—more independent work, multiple
teachers, time management, organization,
etc. Structured, success-oriented classes
reinforce students’ existing skills while
simultaneously helping them to develop
strategies and habits to maximize learning.
Expert Teaching Staff
Our summer faculty is composed of
Eagle Hill Southport School teachers (whose average teaching tenure
is 12 years) and guest teachers trained by the school in methodologies
such as the Orton-Gillingham Approach and Lindamood-Bell’s
Visualizing & Verbalizing®. This ensures summer program students
receive the best evidence-based remediation possible.
Two-week Programs

The early years of reading are critical
for future academic success. Keep the
momentum going through the summer
with this workshop. These two-week
programs are specifically designed for
children entering grades K–1 to solidify
and develop reading skills while still having
a fun summer experience. The course is a

Doing math depends on a firm grounding in
fundamental concepts. It’s hard for students
to move forward if their math foundation
isn’t solid. This two-week course is designed
to strengthen students’ understanding of
and ease in using advanced computation
and pre-algebra concepts. Emphasis is also
placed on developing various approaches
to solving word problems and related math
applications. Students may take one or both
workshops. Strategies and activities are
designed to meet each student’s area of need.
