Summer Togetherness
Summer Togetherness is a 9-week virtual learning series that helps support parents and families in fostering their child’s academic and developmental success, showcasing that learning together throughout summer can be fun and happen anywhere.
Alongside co-hosts from GreatSchools and Learning Heroes, expert guests from within education joined to share actionable, evidence-based guidance across a range of topics including summer enrichment programs, reading, math, social-emotional skills, physical activity, and more.
Importance of Summer Learning
“Through ‘Summer Togetherness’, parents will have access to experts and advice about how learning happens in everyday spaces and places — so they don’t have to choose between polishing math skills and reuniting with friends and family after much time apart. As parents know well, kids thrive when they feel connected to who they are learning with and what they are learning.”
