Summer Learning
Summer Learning in Rhode Island
The Rhode Island Department of Education (RIDE) has built strong momentum around summer learning through initiatives like Learn365RI, the Math Matters RI campaign, the All Course Network (ACN), 21st Century Community Learning Centers, and cross-district partnerships through the District Summer Learning Network (DSLN). These efforts are helping to expand access to high-quality summer programs that support academic growth, student well-being, family engagement, and enrichment.
2025 Summer Learning Opportunities
Learn365RI and Math Matters
Through Learn365RI, municipalities, school districts, and community-based organizations partner to extend learning beyond the 180-day school year. New grant funding for Learn365RI supports Math Matters RI, providing K–8 students with access to math-focused summer programs, April break camps, and afterschool/weekend opportunities. Participation involves a local municipality, LEA and community-based organization planning team and partnership commitment.
All Course Network (ACN)
The All Course Network allows Rhode Island public school students to access free summer courses offered in-person, online, and at colleges or partner organizations. Summer 2025 offerings include enrichment for students in grades PK–12 and credit-bearing courses for high school students. ACN is part of RIDE’s larger effort to expand innovative and rigorous learning opportunities aligned with new graduation requirements.
- Registration opens May 1 at 9:00 AM and closes May 30 at 5:00 PM.
