Registration for Rising PK-9 is Open!
The Forever Summer Bridge Program at RPS has grown into a permanent summer opportunity for our students. RPS teachers create all of the programming for RPS students. Bridge provides out-of-the-box learning experiences beyond the traditional classroom settings that are collaborative and highly engaging. In addition, Bridge offers academic experiences, including the chance to earn credit in required courses or the chance to grow skills over the summer.
Please watch the video below for an overview of the Lower School Summer Bridge experience for rising PK to 5th graders!
