From the bottom of my heart, thank you for an amazing summer. It was such a joy getting to spend the summer with your children, and I’m so grateful you trusted us with their care. This was our first official year of Plato+ Summer Camp, and your support truly meant everything.
Summer camp has always been my bread and butter—it’s where I found my love for working with kids and what led me to K–8 teaching. Being able to spend the summer with your students was more than just fun—it was an honor.
Thank you for being part of this journey with us. I hope to see many familiar faces next summer, with even more exciting plans (and earlier registration!) ahead.
-Mrs. Thorsen & The Plato+ Summer Team
It is a Gifted-inspired morning and afternoon academic enrichment program that rotates subjects throughout each day and a new theme each week. Plato+ gives kids a chance to explore and enjoy learning in a well-managed supportive and fun setting. At Plato Academy, we believe every child is gifted and it is our job as educators to help children identify, nurture, and celebrate their unique gifts. Plato+ is fully NOT for profit and all the revenue earned for Plato+ is used to improve Plato Academy programs.
Plato+ is coordinated and taught by certified education professionals at all Plato Academy Campus locations. The program is structured around engaging weekly themes to help kids build authentic, multi-disciplinary connections between skills and the world around them!
Why should my child attend Plato+?
Plato+ is a prestigious program that…
– our graduating classes can add to create a distinct High School application.
– Reinforce the academic learning received during school hours.
– Fosters positive relationships among student groups & community members.
– Academic competitions can further promote positivity throughout the community.
– Provides an opportunity for your student to get to know other Plato Academy staff members.
– Continue the care and support you already know and respect.
This is not an exhaustive list of staff, as well as our wonderful Clearwater admin team on site during summer, but these are the main faces you will see at Plato+ this summer!
