Come learn about who you are, build new friendships and develop skills that will help you become who you want to be in Cajal Academy’s Summer Program!
July 7-30, 2025; Morning, Afternoon & Full-day Options
Grades 1-12
Cajal Academy’s full-service summer program for bright, gifted and “twice exceptional” kids empowers students with tools they can use to better understand their own unique profiles and to learn tools they can use to foster truly inclusive neurodiverse communities, and to self-monitor, self-manage and self-advocate for their needs. Like our year-round program, kids in our summer program will build social and executive function skills while collaborating with peers to solve real world problems through project-based learning—all with embedded support for OT, PT, SLP and social skill needs. And this summer for the first time, we’re integrating robotics and engineering to our mornings, with opportunities to try coding, music, theater, art and athletics in the afternoon!
Now in our new location in the heart of South Norwalk, we’ll be building the confidence and communication skills our innovative kids need to thrive in the community while exploring our natural and urban environment and engaging with local businesses and the Maritime Aquarium, just one block away. Meanwhile, afternoon workshops in arts, fitness and more will give kids a chance to discover new interests, and provide opportunities to work with our expert licensed therapists.
New this year, families who have not previously enrolled at Cajal Academy for the academic year can add a Diagnostic Placement to your full day program, to receive a multi-disciplinary evaluation and treatment recommendations using our ground-breaking approach to understand and address student needs.
