Leapfrog offers week-long morning courses and afternoon courses for qualified students completing PreK through grade 3. Parents may enroll their child in a morning class, an afternoon class or both, and they may choose to have their child participate in one, two or three weeks of classes.

For students completing grade 3 and ready to study one subject in depth for an extended period of time, Leapfrog offers an all-day program. Students engage in extended projects, hands-on experiments and in-depth activities during classes that meet from 8:30 a.m. to 2:45 p.m. As with the half-day program, students in the all-day program may enroll in one, two or three weeks of courses. If you are considering the Apogee program for next year, the Leapfrog all-day program serves as an excellent introduction.
