Making the Most Out of
Your Summer!
Synergy Academics is offering creative summer programming designed to engage your students and give them enriching, valuable sessions, as well the opportunity to socialize with other students their age or like-learners. Our small group programs will be offered both remotely (via Zoom) or in person at our West Hills center, where we have implemented stringent practices to ensure safety during the pandemic. In addition to these small group enrichment programs, Synergy Academics will continue to offer its regular services, including one-on-one subject tutoring, SAT/ACT test prep, college admissions counseling and financial aid assistance.
Our summer programming will be flexible and easy to access. Each program will be offered throughout the summer on an hourly basis with the option of scheduling a variety of classes daily, customizing your schedule to best fit your and your students’ needs. We welcome parental input as to requests for specific learning needs.
