The Community Education Department, in collaboration with Medway Public Schools, is excited to offer a unique back-to-school opportunity for all students at no cost for families. This program will support a successful transition into the 2023-24 school year.  Our Summer of Discovery program will take place Monday-Friday, August 14-18.

We understand the summer break is incredibly precious to you and your family. Similarly, we also understand the continued needs of connections, wellness, and access to academic content, are vital to students' continued growth.  Summer of Discovery will support all of these key elements  The program includes creative interactive experiences that will help your child/ren reconnect with their peers and school community, re-engage with the academic and social tools necessary to support success in the classroom, and create positive memories that should recharge us all.
