LASA New Student Updates

LASA Summer Homework/Reading, New to LASA Book Club and Book Recs for Parents

April 26, 2024

LASA Summer Homework/Reading

Does LASA have Summer Homework and/or Required Reading?

We get this question every year and want to make sure that you know the answer:

NO! LASA does not have any summer homework and/or reading assignments. We believe strongly that kids should do other things in the summer - things they want to do, pursue, etc. and we believe they should read things they want to read for fun.
