Galileo Enrichment Summer Programs
This summer, prevent the summer slide your kids’ learning by enrolling them fun and enriching Galileo Enrichment Summer Programs. Find them at the Galileo Enrichment Center Bacolod.
Many parents look at the summer vacation as the time to take a break from the rigors of school. It’s rest time for the whole family, not just for the kids. It’s during this time that parents don’t have to wake up early and prepare kids for school and dash out of the door as soon as every one is ready.
Meanwhile, kids can take extended sleeping hours and not have to worry about tests, assignments, and projects. Parents also appreciate the fact that their pockets can rest from all the daily expenses for projects and activities.
Summer Learning Slide
But for teachers, they call this time as the “summer slide”. All the momentum in learning that they have built in their students becomes undone in the two months that kids are away from school. Even good study habits developed throughout the school are forgotten.
If you want your kids to retain some of their good learning habits, then it is imperative to get them engaged on a summer learning stint that will keep that voracity for learning alive.
Galileo Enrichment Program
Getting kids motivated to learn in a fun way and without the pressure during the summer vacation is the main goal of the Galileo Enrichment Learning Program.
Galileo Enrichment Program is an after-school program that helps students love Math and English–the two main subjects that form the basis of all the other school subjects. This is more than just getting good grades.
Galileo CEO, Ms. Rowena Juan Matti, says that if the kids are able to comprehend the basic principles of Math and English and learn them on their own, it would be so easy for the kids to face these subjects everyday in school.
Furthermore, Galileo has introduced Singapore Math here in the Philippines. The way that Math is taught in Singapore is coveted around the world because Singaporean students are topping international Math competitions and are topping surveys, such as the Trends in Math and Science Survey (TIMSS).
