Think Summer
Think Summer is looking forward to another exciting season at Albuquerque Academy! There are hundreds of individual classes and summer camps to choose from, geared toward students entering kindergarten through 12th grade.
Think Summer: June 10-July 19, 2024
Since 1984, Albuquerque Academy’s summer program has provided Albuquerque-area families with a wide variety of summer options for children in grades pre-K to pre-12 in a safe and nurturing environment. Think Summer is a remarkable, one-of-a-kind summer experience for children in pre-grades K-12. During our summer program, we offer flexible summer camp/class options for every type of schedule. Whether your child would like to enjoy a full day, a half day, or just one or two classes, there are many fun and enriching options for your family to explore.
Commitment to Students
Our extraordinary teachers and exceptional staff consider your child’s individual needs and learning style. We ensure that all children are engaged and challenged, and we encourage them to become the best versions of themselves.
Our team is dedicated to providing an exemplary summer experience each year, distinctly setting ourselves apart from other summer programs in the Albuquerque area through the unparalleled safety, quality, and value of our program. Think Summer helps foster a life-long commitment to learning in our students through curiosity and enthusiasm and believes that education and fun go hand in hand.
Learning and development isn’t a static process. It’s dynamic and happens year-round, not just during the school year. Enrolling your child in Think Summer ensures that academic and developmental concepts learned during the school year are solidified and gives your child a head start in concepts they may learn in the grade they are entering. Through academic enrichment and recreational options to camps and classes and everything in between, your child will have all the tools they need to succeed and be engaged while keeping their minds sharp and their bodies active.
Vibrant, Memorable Experiences
We celebrate active-learning strategies through project- and inquiry-based activities, interdisciplinary courses, and enriched recreational programs. We know how children learn best… and how to make education exceptional, inspirational — and seriously fun!
ALL classes and summer camps assemble Monday-Friday, regardless of a single class or full-day student registration.
Think Summer is based on a seven-period day (8:10 a.m.-3:30 p.m.; lunch period from 12:05-12:40 p.m.). Families may choose as many or as few individual classes, full- or half-day summer camps, block periods, or a combination (up to seven periods) for their student(s) and may also add extended care as needed.
Pre-grade K-3 students are supervised at all times, being transitioned to each class/camp, including lunch and extended care options.
Course and summer camp offerings, along with prices, and full class/camp descriptions, are available in this year’s Think Summer Catalog.
