Summer Academy | Atlantic Street Center

Summer Academy has been one of our staple programs for over 40 years. For five to six weeks, we offer a curriculum consisting of reading, writing, math, and cultural enrichment activities for children entering grades 3^rd through 9^th.

Students who attend Summer Academy receive:

Engaging activities and classroom time Monday-Friday, 9 am – 3 pm
Free breakfast and lunch
Access to Atlantic Street Center mental health counselors
Lessons, including STEAM-related courses, taught by Certified Teachers in a small classroom setting
Opportunities to learn activities such as theater, painting, dance, and how to start a business
Field trips to places like MoPOP, iFly, the Museum of Flight, and more (destinations are subject to change)
Extra coursework help from hired tutors
A moving-on ceremony and celebration

The program’s success is measured every year. Students who participated have shown marked improvement in reading, writing, math, and social skills, which they take with them into the following school year, and into successes throughout their lives.

ELIGIBILITY: Funding gives priority to Seattle Public School students who come from high-need families and have completed second grade. Summer Academy serves youth up to grade 9.

Summer Academy is funded through public and private grants, so it is free for all eligible participants.

Applications open for Summer Academy 2025 will be available online Monday, March 31. Please check back and follow us on social media to stay up to date.
