We’re sure you’ve heard about the Summer and Holiday Brain Drain phenomenon, also called the “summer slide,” which refers to the loss of skills and knowledge that usually happens during holiday months; where children lose, on average, between two and three months of math and reading skills.

The effect of this learning loss extends beyond putting children at a disadvantage for the beginning of the school year, as it can lead to delays in classroom progress. To overcome this yearly loss, teachers and educators often spend the first six weeks of school re-teaching skills that students learned in the previous grade before they can move on to new material.

The good news is, your child can energize, vitalize, activate their Brain and build new Neural Pathways instead, when they enrol in one of our holiday program options. The Booster Camps dramatically strengthens a child’s skills and, gives your child a true Brain Workout, and leaves them wanting more. Trust us!

Whether your child is 4 , 16 or even a university student, Brain Booster Camp will help them dramatically strengthen their skills and get them ready for a new year with sharper brains, greater confidence, and bigger personalities. An effect that happens when they know deep inside that they now have control over their time, their studies, and the ability not just to cope, but to excel.
