1)    YES, Inc.’s Intersession Camp is Designed to Prevent Brain Drain

The intersession camp is designed to prevent a loss of learning during academic breaks from school.  The camp gives students a chance to master course content or to gain a deeper understanding of course content.  

 We know that when students (a) attend classes on a daily basis, (b) are actively engaged in learning, and (c) complete homework assignments, their ability to master content improves.  Many times, this level of engagement results in an academic advantage for our students.

2)    ACT Summer Boot Camp

Our summer boot camp is an intense, 6-week, no-nonsense camp.  Students will be required to complete a minimum of 4 hours of instruction per day.  Optional tutor-led homework sessions will be provided.  Students must be focused and committed.  Students will be removed from the program if they miss 2 days.   Two Saturday review sessions will be scheduled during the boot camp.
