We recommend enrolling in full 12 week program
Research shows that meaningful academic and social growth takes time and consistency is key. Most children need at least 8-12 weeks of structured, targeted instruction to build new neural pathways, strengthen foundational skills, and see measurable progress in reading, writing, and self-regulation. Our 12-week semester model allows children to experience steady growth, celebrate small wins, and develop lasting confidence. We strongly recommend families commit to the full term so children can benefit from the rhythm, relationships, and reinforcement that make learning truly stick!
