The LEAD summer program gives students in LBUSD the opportunity to learn, enrich, advance, and discover by exploring a new interest or passion. LEAD courses are free of cost for all current and continuing LBUSD students. Classes address academic topics, social-emotional wellness, physical fitness, the arts, technology, and many other high-interest areas.

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.

All LEAD classes will be held on the Thurston Middle School campus, at 2100 Park Avenue, from July 24 to 28 (week 1) and July 31 to August 4 (week 2). 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.

Transportation to the Boys and Girls Club will be provided for students needing extended day programming. Bus routes may be viewed here.
