Brockport Summer Learning

Brockport Summer Learning is anchored in culturally responsive and sustaining practices that are the underpinnings of various degree programs such as teacher certification, counselor education, social work, and educational leadership.

Brockport Summer Learning uses an individualized learning method to ensure that our students are getting the help they need through a low student-to-teacher ratio. The program focuses on increasing students’ literacy and math knowledge by using Social and Emotional Learning, the arts, science, and Project-Based Learning.

As a college-sponsored program, Brockport Summer Learning is aligned with SUNY Brockport’s mission and commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion.

Important Announcement: Temporary Interruption of Brockport Summer Learning Programming

Due to circumstances beyond our current control, the difficult decision has been made to put the Brockport Summer Learning program on hold for the upcoming summer.

We understand that this news may come as a disappointment to our program participants and partners, and we are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. The program is committed to providing high-quality programming, and this commitment led to the determination that a pause is the responsible choice to make at this time.

Although our program cannot provide summer programming during this time, we have an obligation to ensure our students experience a fun and safe summer with authentic learning experiences! Therefore, we are in the process of connecting last year’s program participants to join other similar, free summer programs in the Rochester area. We will contact last year’s participants to connect them with other options for summer programming.

We are also exploring alternative options to secure funding and to resume programming for our participants in summer 2024.

The Brockport Summer Learning staff appreciate your understanding and support during this challenging time. We will continue to keep you informed of any updates or changes to our program and look forward to welcoming you back in 2024!

Thank you for your continued partnership.
