About Us

The 26th annual Summer Academic Program for Elementary School Students (SAPESS) is a five week program of morning classes for local students in grades 1 through 6. Enrichment opportunities in academic subjects allow students to participate in learning experiences that go beyond the basics. Highly qualified credentialed teachers, many of whom participate in CSUN teacher education program, offer a variety of classes. Students attend classes daily from 8:30a.m.-12:45 p.m.

This year, as you have noticed, we are utilizing the technology of the World Wide Web and have migrated the vast majority of our information to our website. You can register your child online and read course descriptions. We are trying to make our site as interactive and as helpful as possible. We welcome your feedback.
