Sidney Ledson Institute

Located near DVP/401, the SLI Summer Camp (founded 1982) offers academic enrichment in Math and English, intro to Debate, Entrepreneurship, Computer Science (HTML/CSS, Machine Learning/AI, Javascript App Development, R and Python), French, Spanish, and SSAT/ISEE preparation. On-site programs (to resume post COVID-closure/ online until then) include daily physical activity.

The Sidney Ledson Institute was founded in 1982 in order to create a program that reflected the work of Sidney Ledson, an author and expert on topics relating to teaching technology and motivation. His methods gained traction internationally, at the core of which is the idea that we needn’t wait to introduce children to new skill areas, particularly around language and numeracy, and the sooner we start, the better. The approach in the school program is to challenge students to reach further, to expand and improve their abilities in order to reach their fullest academic potentials. The summer and March break programs extend that approach, including academic support and physical activity. All is expertly run, and the resources varied and ample.
