Summer Program

Engaging Summer Enrichment Classes and Recreation Program for Children Ages 4-13.
The Avery Coonley School Summer Program has something for every child — whether they want to build, tinker, ponder, create, experiment, or run and play.
Enrichment classes offer opportunities for academic challenge and engage children in creative problem solving, scientific exploration, creative writing, and more. Options are also offered in partnerships with Northwestern University’s Center for Talent Development (CTD) and ChessEd. Classes include STEAM, math, theater, reading, sports, art, instructional swimming and more!
Recreation program includes planned activities between morning enrichment classes and during the afternoon. Activities may include outdoor adventure, music, canoeing, games and crafts.
All registration is completed online. Please contact the Summer Program office if you have questions at summerprogram@averycoonley.org or call 630-969-0800 and press 2.
