Summer School
June 22 - July 17, 2026
Your child can concoct a magic potion, go on a bear hunt through a redwood forest, compose and produce a musical masterpiece or explore the engineering design process. These are just some of the fun and exciting experiences our program offers. Taught by UCLA Lab School faculty and staff, our classes are designed to actively involve children in the learning process. They provide a boost in science, math, reading, writing, social studies, and art, all in the context of a nurturing, caring, and fun environment. Our campus adds to the enjoyment by offering a relaxing, natural setting, with play yards and even a Redwood Forest. Many of our families return year after year!

Who can enroll?
We welcome children ages 4–12 from inside and outside UCLA Lab School who will be entering PreK–6 in the fall. UCLA Lab School is an inclusive and diverse community. We encourage families to share any specific academic or social-emotional needs their child(ren) may have to ensure they are adequately supported. Please contact a member of the Lab School summer school administrative team below to discuss more.
