What makes Adelante Schools unique?
Adelante Schools is in the early planning stages of its summer program, with a vision for a joyful experience rooted in the same values that guide the school year: community, leadership development, and hands-on learning. As a neighborhood anchor year-round, Adelante is exploring how to extend that mission into summer programming that serves scholars and families.

What activities are offered at Adelante Schools?
Program details are still being finalized, but Adelante is considering a blend of academic enrichment (literacy, math, and STEM activities) and athletic clinics, along with arts, music, and outdoor play. The goal is to keep scholars engaged while still having fun. More specifics will be shared as offerings are developed.
What is the typical daily schedule at Adelante Schools?
Adelante is currently designing the daily schedule and will share a detailed timeline once the program is confirmed. Families can expect a structured day that balances academic activities, physical play, and creative enrichment.
