WELCOME TO OUR 2ND YEAR LAUNCH OF THE KIDS COLLEGE SUMMER ACADEMY 

We are proud to provide our community with a new and improved Kids College Summer 

Academy. Listening to your suggestions, we are now offering a fully balanced program, one 

that incorporates academics, enrichment and athletics. It is well documented that learning 

loss in the summer can be great. To address this issue, we are incorporating diverse, thematic 

learning theories that are cross curricular and multidisciplinary. 

This means that your children will have a fun summer while learning in a way that enhances 

retention and prepares them for a smooth transition into their fall programs. 

So relax and enjoy the summer, secure in the knowledge that your children will discover 

new ways to learn….and have fun doing it! 

Dean Denise Ward 

Welcome to the Kids College Summer Academy! 

A lot has changed in a year. We learned so much from the ground up when we started the 

academy last year. Jacqueline Montgomery, our Program Manager, went to the “Summer 

Changes Everything” National Conference on Summer Learning and received a generous 

amount of information that has inspired excellent ideas to our academy. We supplemented 

the academy with athletics, multidisciplinary classes and focused the two summer sessions 

into a theme-based format. 

This summer our theme will be focused on Our City - The Borough of Queens - Our Community. 

Our culturally diverse community can be a lifelong study of art, architecture, science, 

technology, music and math. We invite you to register your children to connect with their 

community while having a great time. 

这个夏季 , 我们的主题将集中于我们的城市和我们的社区。孩子们在这个多元文化的 

社区里 , 学习艺术 , 建筑 , 科学 , 技术 , 音乐和数学 , 这会使他们一生受益非浅。 

因此我们真诚地邀请您为您的孩子注册 , 在他们享受夏日快乐时光的时候 , 

让他们的生活与这个社区紧紧相连。

4Mission Statement 

Kids College Mission Statement 

The Kids College Summer Academy at Queensborough Community College (QCC) provides 

programs which will motivate, bridge, and immerse diverse K-12 learners in an exciting, 

fun filled experiential and applied learning environment. Our student-centered learning 

atmosphere fosters a balance of personal and academic enrichment and athletics. The QCC 

venue provides on-site access to campus-based technology, resource materials, recreation, 

and a multitude of hands-on opportunities. 

QCC continues to reach out to the Queens community through its variety of Continuing 

Education programs for youth and adults of all ages. 

All academic instructors are experienced NYS certified teachers with special expertise in 

the courses they teach. The Personal Enrichment instructors are specifically chosen for their 

expertise in their fields, as well. We are proud to partner with the newly formed Athletic 

classes, offered in conjunction with the Health, Physical Education & Dance Department of 

the College, to deliver exemplary instruction. 

The college reserves the right to make program changes & adjustments as required. 

Parent-Teacher Conferences will be held on Fridays July 29th & August 19th. 

Academic classes will have pre- and post-testing. 

What Makes a Great Academy? How will it work this summer? 

Kids College Summer Academy will provide students with the opportunity to play, create, 

evaluate and understand the world around them. Teachers will be using the Thematic Theory 

of Learning through an offering of a variety of activities which embrace the different ways 

kids learn. 

We will help kids link, connect and integrate ideas in real-world contexts. Our aim is to 

improve student achievement through implementing high quality summer programming by 

bringing in the third quality program: Athletics. By lining up this winning trifecta, we can 

incorporate a multidisciplinary approach to learning. 

With the theme Our City -The Borough of Queens-Our Community, your child will be 

enriched through art, reading, soccer, and enjoy the summer days on our beautiful campus! 

When you learn about your community, you are learning about the world as a whole. 

Based on the standard schedule, your child will be in all 3 sections of academics, athletics 

and enrichment: 

• The Personal Enrichment classes are listed on page KC-7-9 

• The Mandatory Academics will offer math, reading & writing 

• The Additional Academic classes may be included in the personal enrichment section 

We feel that all of the students should have at least one hour of sports, academics and crosscurricular 

enrichment classes: 

• We have upgraded our lunch to provide your child(ren) with better choices of healthy 

food, prepared & catered right here on campus 

• All you have to do is choose one or both sessions of the full or half-day options 

Many ways to register! See page KC-13 for details
