Frequently Asked Questions

What is Summer Advantage USA?
Summer Advantage USA is a non-profit organization that runs high-quality summer learning programs for children in grades K-8. The program focuses on academics and enrichment. Summer Advantage aims to provide children access to a well-rounded summer program that helps them succeed in school, stimulates their dreams for the future and helps them develop as leaders in their communities.

What do Summer Advantage USA’s programs look like?
For five weeks during the summer, Summer Advantage USA hosts children at their local schools. Children begin their day with a healthy breakfast and then receive instructions in reading, writing and math. After a nutritious lunch, scholars participate in enrichment activities such as art, drama, engineering and sports. On Fridays, scholars lead community service projects, go on field trips and hear from inspiring guest speakers. Check out the Programs page for more information about summer programs.
