Detroit Public Schools offering free ‘Virtual Summer Camp’ to students through August
Students in the Detroit Public Schools are being offered a free, online program to boost learning over the summer months.
The district is announcing a Virtual Summer Camp for students in Kindergarten through eighth grade.
Students will have access to the program through Aug. 31 to get a head start on reading and math for the next academic year. They will receive 10 educational activities per week that can be completed at any time.
The district says the online activities were custom designed based on student assessment data to tackle Detroit students’ low-performing skill sets.
Virtual Summer Camp is part of Houghton Mifflin Harcourt’s multi-year partnership with the district and includes advanced technology, customized lesson plans and educator training and development to improve student learning.
