Welcome
The Gow School Summer Program
June 29 – August 2, 2025
Our five-week program is designed for students ages 8–16 who possess the potential to excel but who have struggled in school or who have been diagnosed with such learning disabilities as dyslexia, central auditory processing disorder (CAPD), dysgraphia, dyscalculia, ADHD, and ADD. “Summer school” doesn’t begin to cover Gow’s exciting and challenging summer program, designed for students who have been experiencing academic difficulties or who have language-based learning differences. Employing the expertise that has made The Gow School a leader in language remediation, the summer program helps participants improve academic performance by teaching skills as well as material, enhancing confidence, and instilling discipline and sportsmanship. It also provides plenty of opportunities for enrichment, recreation, new experiences, and fun.
Morning Academics
The goal of our summer program is not simply to help students learn, but also to help them rediscover a joy of learning that results in long-term success and increased self-esteem
Afternoon Activities
In the afternoons, program participants choose four Activity Instructional Clinics (AICs) from approximately 20 options.
Weekend Fun
Highlights of the summer program, overnight excursions take advantage of the cultural, sporting, and entertainment options of Western New York and nearby areas.
GSSP Admissions
Students ages 8–16 who have been experiencing academic difficulties are invited to discover The Gow School Summer Program. One way to do that is through an interview and campus tour, which are encouraged and can be scheduled throughout the year. We also hold an Open House each spring.
Course Offerings
Students choose from a variety of classes. Many take advantage of Gow’s unique Reconstructive Language program. Other popular options range from writing process to math (levels 1-4), study skills to summer reading workshop.
