Achieve Summer
Achieve Summer is a premier, full-day summer program designed to engage rising elementary students in high-quality academic enrichment across Miami-Dade. Our unique six-week model simultaneously develops the leadership skills of professional teachers and provides transformative mentorship opportunities for high school students.
In our ecosystem, every participant—from kindergarteners to educators—is continuously growing through meaningful learning and skill-building. We infuse every lesson with joy, camaraderie, and cultural relevance, ensuring students feel supported as we celebrate their achievements together. Through collaborative learning and peer presentations, we ensure that the entire South Florida community grows as one.
Project Based Learning
Throughout Achieve Summer, each class works on a project together to demonstrate their knowledge and skills by creating a public product or presentation for a real audience the last day of programming. In PBL, students develop a deep context knowledge as well as critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, and communication skills.
Social Emotional Learning
Through direct Social Emotional Learning (SEL) instruction, students acquire and apply the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to develop healthy identities, manage emotions, achieve personal and collective goals, feel and show empathy, establish and maintain supportive relationships, and make responsible and caring decisions.
Field Trips & Events
Elementary and high school students get to experience Miami-Dade favorites like Fairchild Tropical Botanic Gardens, Frost Museum of Science, Zoo Miami, and others. High School students get to enjoy their Best Look Forward event at Aventura Mall.
