The "5th Quarter" of Learning

Boston Scores Summer Learning Academy is a fusion of BPS-teacher lead academics and Boston Scores athletic and enrichment programming. Students will work on ELA and Math projects during the academic morning section. In the afternoon, students can choose to participate in either our soccer program or workshops around arts and crafts, reading clubs, cooking lessons, field trips, and special events.

Our Results

After attending the Summer Learning Academy, teachers assess that around 50% of students demonstrated meaningful growth in social and emotional skills such as critical thinking, perseverance, relationship with adults, communication, self-regulation, and relationships with peers. Around 40-50% of students show meaningful growth in Math and ELA.
