Middle School Summer Programs (Grades 5–8)

LJCDS Middle School Summer Programs offer dynamic, skill-building experiences designed for students entering Grades 5–8. Whether exploring STEM, creative arts, leadership development, athletics, or academic enrichment, students engage in focused programs that challenge their thinking, spark curiosity, and build confidence.

Courses are designed to be hands-on, interactive, and age-appropriate, providing students with opportunities to deepen interests, try something new, and connect with peers in a supportive and engaging environment. Led by LJCDS faculty and trusted instructors, each program balances structure with creativity while fostering independence and collaboration.
