Program Purpose

Changing Lives Summer Academy (CLSA) is a 6-week summer learning program designed to support students by addressing summer learning loss while strengthening foundational literacy and math skills for students in grades K–8

The program prioritizes:

• Students performing below grade level

Extended Learning & Enrichment Block

For families who need a longer day, we offer an optional Extended Learning & Enrichment Block following the core program. Our Extended Learning and Enrichment Block will run from 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM. This four-hour block provides students with a calm, supervised transition from the learning day while still offering intentional structure and engagement.

Included in the Extended Learning & Enrichment Block is:

• Supervised Lunch (1 hour)
  Students eat lunch together in a relaxed, community-focused setting. Families provide lunch from home.
• Choice & Community Hour (3 hour)
  A structured choice block where students select from a variety of calm, engaging activities such as:
  • Building and design (LEGO, construction materials)
  • Board games and logic puzzles
  • Art and creative projects
  • Reading, audiobooks, and quiet activities
  • Mindfulness, reflection, and SEL-focused activities

This block supports social skills, independence, creativity, and emotional regulation in a low-pressure environment.
