This year’s exciting theme is “Grand Slam Summer” — a season where students will be “hitting it out of the park” as they build valuable academic skills in a fun, supportive, and engaging environment. SSA students will take part in exciting baseball-themed classroom challenges, team-building activities, and spirited theme days — all designed to foster learning, creativity, and lasting friendships.
We are looking forward to a fulfilling summer filled with learning, friendship, and achievement. You will receive a detailed letter regarding summer school procedures and first-day information by the end of May.
