This program is five separate weeks of exciting classes for children in grades K through 12 in the daytime from 9 AM till 3 PM. Early drop-off and extended day options are also available. Taught by Lexington public school teachers, these classes offer academic and cultural enrichment on such topics as drama, science, math, the arts, sports, and much more. Class sizes are very small and the emphasis is on the joy of learning. Each one week program costs approximately $300. The summer catalog is mailed to all Lexington residents and past students around mid-February. There is NO RESIDENCY REQUIREMENT for this program.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_col-sm-6 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"About LCE LCE is a self-sustaining, integral part of the Lexington Public Schools, committed to bringing lifelong learning to all.
