Overview : 2026 Summer School

Summer is almost here, and we can’t wait to welcome your child to the Zoo-phonics® Academy Summer School 2026!

This year, our young learners will explore two exciting themes: Firefly Lights-A summer of Light, Shadows & Friendship- and The Day the Crayons Quit. Filled with creativity, friendship, discovery, and hands-on fun, our program gives children plenty of opportunities to experience English in a natural and meaningful way.

Through engaging storybooks, literacy activities, games, crafts, STEM experiences, movement, and imaginative play, children will learn while having fun. As they explore each theme, they will naturally build their English skills while developing creativity, confidence, communication skills, and positive social connections with their friends.

At Zoo-phonics^® Academy, we believe children learn best when they are excited, engaged, and having fun. That’s why every day is designed to spark curiosity, encourage exploration, and create joyful learning experiences that children will remember long after summer ends.

Join us for a summer filled with learning, laughter, friendship, and unforgettable adventures. We look forward to sharing a season of smiles, discovery, and excitement with your child!

Spaces are limited, so be sure to reserve your spot early. Let’s make this summer a wonderful adventure together!
