Each week, our summer program provides a special opportunity for all children to grow academically and socially through nurturing instruction and guidance provided by Buckhead Prep teachers. Children build core reading, writing/handwriting, and math skills in reflection of and in preparation for their academic journey. They daily explore art, science, music and sports, and enjoy plenty of outdoor play to encourage creative exploration and social development. Children also enjoy weekly live events and guest visits throughout the summer with pony rides, ice pop parties, musical performances, visiting artists and professional sports players, The Science Wiz, Children’s Museum of Atlanta, STEMTree, and much more.
