Grades 1 - 8

Laguna Beach Unified teachers and staff from Strategic Kids and Staci Bina’s Yoga Academy will work with students to develop new skills and build meaningful connections this summer. The breadth of our LEAD classes reflects the commitment of our teachers to their student’s educational development. View the course catalog.

Students can attend one, two, or even three classes per week. Students can register for just one week or both weeks of the program. The day is broken into three periods or “sections.” Section A runs from 8 to 10 a.m. Section B runs from 10:05 a.m. to 12:05 p.m. The last class of the day is Section C, which runs from 12:35 to 2:35 p.m. Any student registered for Section B and Section C will also be provided lunch daily.

Busing will only be available for students who arrive for the first class of the day and/or who stay until the end of the day (2:35 p.m.). Transportation to the Boys and Girls Club will be provided for students needing extended day programming (bus routes may be viewed here). Bus passes are available for purchase on or after April 3.
