Summer Programs

Academic Ignition is designed for students with executive function, math and/or language weakness and is open to all rising 10th, 11th and 12th graders. You do not need to be enrolled at The Howard School to attend. 

Research consistently shows that students who engage in academic activities over the summer not only retain but often enhance their skills, setting a strong foundation for the upcoming school year. Academic Ignition is designed for students with executive function, math and/or language weakness.

Non-Enrolled Howard Students: Thank you for your interest. Please ensure you read through this page entirely. If you are not enrolled at The Howard School, there are some extra forms that must be completed.

Required Forms  for Non-Howard Students

Confidential Teacher Evaluation Form 

A Confidential Teacher Evaluation will need to be completed by your child's teacher/tutor before your child's registration is considered complete. 

The Confidential Teacher Evaluation form and the online registration must be completed before attending. You can register for Academic Ignition even if we have not received your child's Confidential Teacher Evaluation form yet. The form is located below and must be sent from your child's teacher/tutor, not the parent. Forms need to be sent to Victoria Bondurant, CCC-SLP. Her email is located on the evaluation form.
