We personalize student learning, integrate the arts into core content, and improve reading proficiency because reading is foundational to learning well in life.

“By all measures, this summer camp was VERY successful. Academically and artistically, way more successful than those that we paid for in the several summers before.”

-Parent, 2020 Summer Program

“My daughters had an excellent experience! …they always wanted to go to camp because it was always something fun to do!!! We loved it!!”

-Parent, 2020 Summer Program

“These kinds of programs are extremely helpful and necessary for our children. The amount of material learned in camp was amazing and my child was having fun learning. To have an in-person option was extremely helpful and productive. Thank you CCE for providing this experience for my child, we are eternally grateful.”

Safety First

Our detailed plan of procedures follows all COVID19 appropriate guidelines recommended by the CDC that includes masks for all, taking temperatures twice a day, maintaining separate cohorts of children, and repeated cleaning. Our class sizes are no larger than eleven students. This not only allows for increased safety, but also ensures that our students benefit from daily small group and individualized one-on-one academic instruction.

Past Summer Program Impact

In response to the school district’s shut-down of the 2019-2020 academic year from the coronavirus, the Center for Creative Education launched and successfully ran a 10-week summer arts and academic program for 46 children going into 1^st through 4^th grades. Our staff of Florida-certified teachers and Teaching Artists developed lessons in math, science, and literacy that were aligned with district learning goals. Our instructional focus incorporated creative arts as a driving force, inspiring students to achieve deep levels of learning and overall confidence.

Outcomes

97% of our students increased their reading skills by one or more reading levels, and 83% met two or more individualized math goals by the end of our summer program. We are proud to have helped each child to make up for two months of lost learning in a safe, structured summer program that included yoga classes, recess, fresh meals, snacks, and morning meetings for building community.
