Sign-up for Summer Learning starts April 25
Get ready for another amazing summer.
The CMSD Summer Learning Experience is back for a second year, with something for every student, from preschool through 12th grade. And it’s free,
Students can finish the year strong, get ahead or engage in hands-on projects and fun activities at more than 30 school sites throughout the city.
Summer Learning will start June 27 and continue until July 29 for PreK-8 students and July 22 for high school students.
Meals and transportation will be provided. K-8 students will receive shuttle service, and high school students will be given RTA tickets.
To participate, students must attend CMSD schools or be pre-registered to enroll. Last year, more than 8,400 students were signed up.
Registration will open April 25. For more information or to register, go to ClevelandMetroSchools.org/SummerLearning22.
For three weeks before and after Summer Learning, community partners such as the City of Cleveland, Cleveland Metroparks and Cleveland Public Library are offering camps for students of varying ages. Some of these camps require a fee, and families are responsible for transportation.
