What is most distinctive about the Newton Learning Summer Advantage program is its emphasis on learning by doing. The program is founded on the notion that students enjoy solving realistic problems through meaningful applications of content and concepts. Students grapple with problems suited to their grade level and build bridges between theory and practice. Student activities help students gain confidence with academic materials, work creatively, and learn to think for themselves.

Reading, language arts, and math topics spring to life through amazing computer-based animated figures. The roar and sparkle of rockets dazzles student scientists and create a sense of pride and accomplishment. From video graphics to computer design, Newton Learning students explore today's world through enriching programs and activities.

These standards communicate high expectations to students, teachers, and parents. The student standards bring adherence to the overall design and serve as the basis for the measurement of results.

With the ever-increasing academic demands being made on today's high school graduates, acquiring new learning through summer programs makes sense. The exciting new methods provided through the Summer Adventure should deliver long-lasting gains and enhanced motivation.

Newton Learning Encourages Strong Character

The Summer Adventure is dedicated to the cultivation of strong character. Students who learn these lessons early are more motivated to achieve because they understand that they have real control over their educational progress. They recognize that all students have the ability to excel, that hard work pays off, and that luck is not the key to success. Students know that their futures are very much in their own hands.

A New Kind of Interest

One of the most important characteristics that sets the Newton Learning Summer Adventure program apart from summer schools held previously in the district is its focus on student's interest. Long a barrier to really effective summer schools, the Summer Adventure design, unique course offerings, interwoven enrichment activities and great prizes transform the traditionally negative feelings students have for summer schools into powerful, enthusiastic attendance and participation.

In every Summer Adventure classroom, Newton Learning students earn points for their attitude, attendance, and achievement. The points are used to “purchase” prizes at the end of the achievement period. The prize packages provide students with important new reasons to excel in their school work. The unique system ensures quality effort and ushers in a new and interesting relationship between assessor and assessee.
