Summer Learning Through The Critical Thinking Child’s Academic Boot Camp
Summer vacation is often perceived as a “break” from education. These days, this is particularly true. The spring of 2020 was a shock to the education system, and many parents were suddenly forced to adapt to remote learning. Summer break is the perfect relief, right?
In reality, this “break” is an important opportunity for your child. Now more than ever, it’s important to avoid learning loss. Luckily, there are numerous virtual summer learning programs that will help your child to master critical thinking skills.
During the summer months, many traditional preschools and grade schools are out of session. Unfortunately, this often turns summer into a missed opportunity. In the fall, when students return to school (whether in-person or remote), teachers spend weeks re-teaching old information.
This is problematic, especially when today’s student is expected to be a critical thinker. Building upon old skills is difficult when they have been forgotten in the fog of summer fun.
Turn summer vacation into a learning opportunity
Learning should never stop, no matter what the season. At The Critical Thinking Child, we offer year-round learning opportunities for just this reason. For example, our virtual summer camp guides young learners through fun, research based games that encourage critical thinking skills in a remote environment.
These summer camp sessions help children practice important critical thinking skills, providing a fun, safe way to learn. This is a wonderful opportunity to ensure the summer months push your child forward, rather than holding them back.
A low-stress option with maximum impact
Our virtual summer camp makes learning fun and intuitive, and children play as they grow. Inquiry-based learning lets students develop skills that are essential to success. With careful guidance, your child will take charge of the learning process, building on their natural curiosity to develop their own unique questions about the world around them.
Through fun academic activities, students focus on various skills, including pattern decoding, math reasoning, and literacy — all with the end goal of empowering your child to think critically.
Preparation for traditional schooling
Focusing on cognitive skills from an early age helps children prepare for traditional school. Our virtual summer camp helps children prepare for gifted and classical entrance exams.
In fact, in one of our most recent camps, each participating child raised their critical thinking score. Some saw an increase of as much as 150%.
Work with your child
Taking complete control over your child’s education can be difficult and time-consuming. Our academic boot camp can help share the responsibility. We call on trained, expert educators who understand how to engage and excite your child–even when learning in a remote environment. We also make sure they don’t stay stuck staring at a screen, incorporating offscreen activities and plenty of movement into our curriculum.
The success of our program is largely because of the collaboration between teachers, students, and parents. Participating parents engage with their children through small group instructional sessions and fun activities. Additionally, parents are provided with material they can use outside of camp to facilitate their child’s success.
The Perfect Summer Solution
Enrolling your child in The Critical Thinking Child’s Virtual Summer Camp allows you to play an active role in their education. It also entrusts them with a program that has a proven record of success. Help your child make the best of summer: growing, learning, and sparking curiosity.
