Summer break isn’t just for rest—it’s the perfect opportunity for growth and discovery. Whether you're in elementary, middle, or high school, here are meaningful tips to help make the most of your summer.
Elementary School Students (Gr 1-4)
At this age, the most important thing is for students to build up good foundations and have fun while learning, so they can grow up to be life-long enjoyers of learning. A few things families should focus on include:
Build basic skills like reading, writing, and math
Learn through play and develop thinking skills
Boost creativity and self-expression
Stay active and healthy
Spend quality time with family
Middle School Students (Gr 5-8)
As school begins to introduce advanced topics and provide opportunities for sports and extracurricular activities, students at this age should focus on exploring their interests and developing a sense of what they want to do in the future. For the summer, we recommend students to:
Practice self-learning and independence
Strengthen academic foundations
Build communication skills in writing and speaking
Explore new hobbies like music, art, or coding
Join community or volunteer programs
Begin career exploration
High School Students (Gr 9-12)
Students should be considering their futures after high school and preparing for their next steps. For students planning on attending university, there are many things to do over the summer:
Improve grades and get ahead academically to be university-ready
Take AP/IB courses or prepare for SAT, ACT exams
Explore potential career paths and university majors
Boost English reading and writing skills
Join volunteer opportunities, camp programs, or internships
Prioritize self-care and mental health
Work on college applications and essays
💡Every Summer is a Journey of Growth💡
Summer shouldn’t just be about downtime—it’s a stepping stone toward the future. Parents and students can create a personalized summer plan based on grade level, turning each break into a meaningful and rewarding experience.
