Scholastic success plays an enormously important role in achieving life goals. Students who read, spell, and write well are better prepared to meet the ever-increasing demand for academic excellence. Traditional school settings are rarely able to provide the specialized instruction required by those with unique learning styles. Most individuals with academic difficulties face problems simply because they learn differently.

For over 30 years, SEPS Learning Center has provided a supportive, academically appropriate education environment with programs that are customized to fit each student's particular learning style. SEPS Summer Programs incorporate the same proven philosophy of individualized instruction and intensive courses that is employed in SEPS Day School Program. The summer programs are designed to help students improve the skills that will enable them to reach their full potential.

Flexible scheduling provides an opportunity for clients to select a combination of summer classes and tutoring session that will meet each student's specific needs while also accommodating other summer activities, such as camps, summer jobs, and family vacations.

SEPS Learning Center's Summer programs are structured to help students of all ages and abilities achieve the success they desire. Individualized programs are designed to help student master reading, writing, spelling, and mathematics. Course packages give students the opportunity to study special interests, to focus on strengthening academic trouble areas, or to prepare for the up-coming school year.

Summer is a great time for students to have a comprehensive learning and achievement diagnostic evaluation to determine their academic strengths and weaknesses. The administration of several nationally standardized tests can help determine those areas in which a client may need assistance. A SPES evaluation lasts approximately 2-3 days.
