Summer Programs


In the spirit of Persistent Inquirers, we offer summer courses to help students pursue their passions and take hold of their summer enrichment. All courses are open to incoming and current Geffen Academy students, with most courses open to students from other schools. Join us on campus to meet friends, try new activities, learn new skills, and learn from many Geffen Academy Educators.

This year, we are excited to announce THREE programs:

Rising 5th Grade: 5th Grade Foundations
Rising 6th Grade: Introduction to Middle School - 6th Grade Cohort Program
