At Grand Rapids Public Schools, we want our scholars to enjoy their summer by exploring, learning, playing, and growing!  That’s where Ignite: Summer Learning at GRPS comes in!  

Our 6-week summer program for currently enrolled GRPS scholars in grades K-8 is intended to boost scholars’ academic understanding and provide fun summer experiences through partnerships with local organizations.  Priority enrollment will be given to scholars who would most benefit from summer reading and math support.

The registration link will be open from 5 PM on January 27^th through midnight on March 14th.
