# Summer learning programs for kids who learn and think differently

Even when school is out for the summer, kids can keep learning through a summer learning program. Summer can be a great time to learn new skills and keep old ones from getting rusty. 

Some summer programs focus on academics. Others focus on enrichment, like arts or athletics. And many programs offer a mix of both. 

Summer learning can help struggling students catch up — and hopefully have some fun along the way. Explore summer learning options for kids who learn and think differently.
