About the Program

The Hamilton Summer Program is open to rising 2nd- to 7th-graders. It features classes that are taught by Hamilton School faculty and small in size (with a maximum of six children per class). Classes focus on literacy, including Orton-Gillingham work, fluency, reading comprehension, and written expression. Courses include a “specials class,” that supports literacy skills and will occur throughout the weeks. In past years this course has been art and science.

Each day there will be mid-morning recess. Parents should send their children with a snack and water bottle.

Please Note

  • School testing, a neuro-psych evaluation, or a Hamilton Institute reading screening is required to determine if the program is appropriate for your child.
  • A full day of programming is available if you choose to enroll your child in Wheeler Summer Camp. This is an additional cost and does include transportation from our Providence Campus to our farm Campus in Seekonk, MA for the afternoon camp session.
