Summer Learning Leap Overview

Research shows that vulnerable students who participate in summer learning stay sharp, hit the ground running in the fall, and are far more likely to achieve academically in the coming school year.  Catapult Learning’s customizable Summer Learning Leap program gives kids the rigor they need—while keeping things fun in the process.

  During the summer of 2012, Catapult Learning provided Summer Learning Leap services to two schools in the Palm Beach County Public Schools Migrant Education Program. A comparison of pretest and post-test scores revealed positive gains with students’ average scores increasing by 16 percentile ranks in reading and 15 percentile ranks in math.

  Instruction. Learning Leap math, reading, and writing instruction is backed by scientific research, aligns with the new Common Core State Standards, and is supported by Catapult Learning’s unique educational quality and management tools.

• Enrichment. Keeping learners engaged is critical in any summer learning program. Activity centers in each Learning Leap classroom feature learning games, self-selected reading, and much more. And to help children spread their wings, the program includes field trips to local museums, art institutes and other points of interest in the community.
