We believe in the power of summer learning.

Research shows, opens a new window that kids who practice reading and math skills over the summer can keep and even improve upon the progress they made during the school year. Now more than ever, it is important to help kids keep their skills sharp. CHPL is committed to helping kids learn over the summer—and better yet, make summer learning fun.
