As the summer months approach, thousands of New York City middle and elementary school students are gearing up for a unique educational experience through the city's Summer Rising program. Launched by the Department of Education, Summer Rising aims to provide a safe and engaging environment for students to learn and grow over the summer break. The program, which is now in its second year, offers a range of activities and courses, including academic enrichment, arts and culture, and physical education, all designed to help students stay on track and prepare for the upcoming school year. With a focus on equity and accessibility, Summer Rising is available to students citywide, with locations and schedules tailored to meet the needs of diverse communities across the five boroughs.
