For some students, summer break is a time to kick back, relax and enjoy. For others, summer break can be a major source of stress especially if they rely on school for safety, structure, and/or social/emotional connectedness. Losing those supports over the summer months can set students back and make the transition into the Fall more challenging. Parents whose children have academic gaps, need credit recovery and/or need social/emotional wellness during the summer often struggle to find summer enrichment programs or activities that meet their needs. LOGOS Summer Intensive Program can offer relief to families by providing academic and therapeutic support in a structured but flexible environment.

Though LOGOS does not assign daily homework as regular practice, because we are an individualized school, parents are always able to consult with their child’s teachers and therapists to create a “homework plan” for their student. This is especially useful for students whose goal is to return to the traditional school environment or students who may want extra enrichment activities. These plans are completely unique and can range anywhere from ten minutes of homework for math every other day, an extra book to read at home for one chapter per night, to a more traditional thirty minutes per class per evening plan. It all depends on the needs of the student.

Learning how to encourage and support students who lack confidence, suffer from anxiety, or doubt their ability to succeed as they transition to life after high school is crucial and different for every teen.

Students in crisis during the transition period between childhood and adulthood can suffer extreme anxiety, become irritable and irrational, and often engage in distracting behaviors. Dealing with the myriad of possibilities and responsibilities is often overwhelming.
