Summer Bridge Math Program

Keep your student’s math skills sharp.

An enjoyable and engaging way to keep your student’s math skills fresh over the summer.


Let’s keep those math skills sharp

Georgia Southern University’s Summer Bridge Math Program is a great way for your student to keep their math skills sharp. There are five classes in the series, each consisting of 12 class sessions. Each class covers key math topics from one grade, 1st through 8th. The Summer Bridge Math Program is ideal for those who want to keep their student engaged during the summer, either to reinforce the learning gains made during the previous year or as a preview of the math topics they will face in the upcoming year.

Each Summer Bridge Math Class includes the following

  • 12 sessions of expert instruction
  • A classroom led by an experienced, caring teacher
  • A sound curriculum that targets the key math skills of a particular grade
  • Access to content recordings for review outside of class time
  • Additional practice exercises

Choose the class schedule that works best for you

Georgia Southern University’s Summer Bridge Math classes are offered in two different formats – a six-week schedule that offers two class sessions each week, and a three-week schedule that offers 4 sessions each week.
