Wharton Academy Summer Enrichment Camp

and Summer After-School Program

 

If you are looking for a fun, engaging, and educational program for your child for the summer, enroll in the Wharton Enrichment Camp!  This program will offer continued Spanish language development through an exploration of Spanish countries and cultures using a variety of exciting activities. The program dates are from June 11- July 11.

 

What is Dual Language?

The Wharton Elementary Dual Language philosophy promotes both Spanish and English as languages of equal value. We feel that by placing importance on both languages we are not only preparing our students for the multi-lingual, multicultural world we are living in, but they are also learning the importance and value in respecting other cultures in our increasingly global society.
