Winston Prep Connecticut

Summer Learning Program
Following the Winston Prep model, our Connecticut summer learning program supports students in grades 4-12, with learning differences such as dyslexia, executive functioning difficulties (ADHD), or NVLD. Our robust academic day program, extracurricular activities, and 1:1 Focus program are designed to help each student strengthen their academic skills, stay social, and foster independence. We welcome current Winston Prep students as well as students from other private, public, mainstream, and special education settings to join us this summer.

  • What will my child's day look like?

    Students participating in the Academic Day program are grouped based on their learning difficulty, skill level, and social-emotional needs. This allows our expert teachers to develop a summer curriculum that meets the skill and content needs of each student in a small group.

    Students will also work 1:1 with a Winston Prep teacher to focus on individualized remediation and skill development needs. Each student’s program is designed based upon our understanding of their learning profile which is rooted in their pattern of strengths and challenges in the cognitive, academic, and social-emotional realms. These three areas of skill sets are interdependent and our understanding and programming reflect the relationships among these skills.

    Students can participate in fun and engaging extracurricular activities at an additional cost. This approach overall ensures a tailored learning experience while fostering social connections and personal growth.
  • What is the Focus program?

    Each student participating in the Academic Day Program receives daily one-to-one instruction through Winston Prep's Focus Program. This program provides daily remedial instruction for each student targeting individual goals in the areas of greatest need. 
  • What materials do I need to submit?

    To complete the 2026 Summer Program application, please make sure you have the following documents ready to upload:
    • Your child's most recent report card
    • Educational evaluation (i.e. psychoeducational evaluation, IEP, etc.)
    • A recent photograph of your child

    Please note: Current Winston Prep students do not need to submit these documents.

    If you are unable to submit an educational evaluation, two teacher recommendations describing your child’s academic/learning/social profile are required.
