Summer 2024 at The Little School

The Little School Summer Program is a joyful experience in which the relationship-based inclusion approach that characterizes our school year finds its stride in a relaxed, laid-back summer setting. Our Summer Program is staffed primarily by Little School teachers. As an added benefit, Little School alumni between 11 – 15 years old join each group as volunteer assistants – and become easy favorites with the children. Additional staff are often former Little School students who work as assistants for several years and stand out for their maturity and talent with children.
