Through the free program more than 352 kindergarten through third grade students have attended the free program. Over the course of seven weeks students are immersed in academic and arts enrichment programs in an attempt to prevent summer learning loss.
The Eagle Academy has grown to include a Parent University with classes to improve employment opportunities for Alta Vista Elementary parents.
