ELA Summer Course-Advanced Level
Grades – 9 & 10
Summer break brings with it fun times loaded with outdoor play, extra screen time, visits to family and friends, and a vacation to a far-off land. This is the time when the kids get to kick back and enjoy their days, starting with a late breakfast. However, amidst, all the fun and chaos, there is one more thing that arrives and decides to stay till the schools reopen, and that is the Summer Slide.
Summer Slide – The Learning Loss
Summer slide is a common issue experienced by children across all levels. But it gets a tad bit serious at the advanced level because, at this level, time is precious. The good news however is that you can easily avoid a summer slide by enrolling your child in a summer course.

‘Wisdom begins with wonder’ Socrates had said. For me, life is a wondrous road trip with a myriad things to learn and explore. Ever since I donned the role of a teacher (31 years ago), igniting minds, and learning in the process, have been an enriching experience. While writing and gardening are some favorite hobbies, reading and photography have remained passions since childhood.
