TIME.com features Summer Learning

July 22nd, 2010

A TIME Magazine article posted online today highlights the importance of keeping children engaged in high-quality summer programs that provide both learning opportunities and fun. “Americans have a skewed view of childhood and summertime,” says the article, which also describes summer as “among the most pernicious — if least acknowledged — causes of achievement gaps in America’s schools.”

Featuring our CEO Ron Fairchild and model programs in Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Corbin, Kentucky, the article suggests that expanded access to summer enrichment programs can help combat summer learning loss – particularly for children from low-income families – and improve American competitiveness.

The more in depth August 2, 2010 print version features additional program examples.
