Summer Bridge

Slow the summer slide with Summer Bridge!

Did you know that on average students lose four to eight weeks of learning over the summer? Touching on important school skills over the summer sets kids up for a more successful fall by keeping academic skills active, and it doesn’t have to feel like summer school.

Summer Bridge is for TCS students.

What is Summer Bridge?

Keep your developing reading, spelling, and writing skills fresh in an experiential, science-oriented, and project-based learning environment.

Summer Bridge is an engaging and fun way to help students keep current with their learning from the year in a hands-on, project-based program that acknowledges that it’s summer, and kids should be having fun. Explore the theme of the week with engaging field trips and water play.
