“We’ve seen such an improvement in focus and grades of our students this year – even over Zoom – and we want to continue that success over the summer,” said Program Director Jacqueline Mroz.
The summer program and tutoring sessions will start on Tuesday, July 6. The in-person classes will be held at the Succeed2gether space at 11 Pine St, Montclair. Students can attend small-group academic sessions in Math and English, divided by grade levels. These run one hour a day for three weeks.

The varied enrichment options give students a chance to try out activities that they might not normally have access to.
“The Polar Scientists program that we ran in partnership with Rutger’s 4-H last winter was very popular, and we are pleased to be able to offer a two-week option again over the summer for students in grades 7 through 9,” said Marcia Marley, President of S2G.
Different activities are available for students in grades rising K through 12. To see all the classes offered, see bit.ly/S2GSummer2021.
