A Summer of Confidence, Growth, and Joy in Wellen Park

Summer should feel exciting. It should also move your child forward.

At Summer Success Institute – Venice, we provide an educator-led summer experience designed to strengthen academic skills, build character, and create joyful memories — all in one structured, purposeful program.

Hosted at the beautiful College Preparatory Academy at Wellen Park campus, our Venice location offers families the same intentional excellence that has made SSI a trusted name in Sarasota.

This is not recreational babysitting. And it is not summer school.

It is the right balance of structure and summer magic.

The SSI Venice Difference

Parents want their children to enjoy summer. They also want them to return to school confident and prepared.

At SSI Venice, we deliver both.

Morning Academic Momentum

Each week includes 10+ hours of focused reading and math instruction led by experienced educators. Lessons reinforce essential grade-level skills and build confidence so students walk into the next school year ready.

Instruction is supportive, differentiated, and intentionally designed to prevent summer learning loss.

Four Daily Enrichment Rotations

STEM and hands-on science

This rotation model keeps students energized, curious, and engaged throughout the day.

Weekly Community Give Back

Confidence grows when children realize they can make a difference.

Each week, Venice campers participate in a meaningful community initiative. Students learn empathy, gratitude, and leadership through real-world service projects that may support local nonprofits or community organizations.

Families are invited to participate when possible, strengthening connection beyond the classroom.
