Eastbrook Academy offers a 4-week academic summer school program for students in progressing into grades 1-12. This program concentrates on academic review for only those Academy students who have been recommended for attendance and those students who have been newly accepted to the Academy. The program will run during the month of July, 2010 from 8:30 a.m. until 12:30 p.m.

There is a weekly cost for the summer school program. All new Eastbrook Academy students and existing Eastbrook Academy students recommended for summer school, should plan to attend the entire session. The Milwaukee Parental Choice Program (MPCP) covers the tuition for all eligible students. Financial assistance will be considered based upon financial need for those students who do not qualify for the Choice program.
