The Niskayuna Central School District offers a variety of opportunities for students to further their education during the summer months. The available programs are listed below.
Summer Enrichment Programs
Niskayuna Central School District is pleased to offer summer enrichment classes to Niskayuna students. Classes blend academic subjects with hands-on exploration, and are taught by Niskayuna CSD faculty.
Classes are filled using a lottery process. Acceptance into a class will be confirmed as soon as it is clear that a class has reached its minimum number of students. Specific class locations will be sent to families prior to the start of the program.
Please enroll your child according to her/his current grade level. Families are responsible for providing transportation.
