It’s always great to take time off a busy schedule and relax with your loved ones. The ending of an academic year is usually quite blissful – not only for children but also their parents!
Ever wondered why children struggle to get back in the ‘studying zone’ at the start of the year? But are schedule ninjas by the time the year ends? The answer lies in the crucial summer vacation. Let’s discuss The Columbia Business School Summer Programme JBCN.
Why Should Children Opt For Summer School?
In order to learn something well, you constantly need to revise. If not that, then at least a fixed schedule is required. Schedules train your brain to do certain things at certain times. A fixed schedule will not only help your child achieve their goals, but also increase their productivity at the same time. Once a schedule becomes a habit, it becomes much easier to follow it and therefore constantly learn and better yourself. If a particular schedule is followed every day, it will eventually become impactful and a part of our daily lifestyle.A recent study states that 45% of our reported activities in a given day are habitual and performed automatically without much thought.
Summer schools use the same concept. These part-time programmes give students a time table to follow and act according to. Summer schools also include extracurricular activities for the children. When paired up with studies, summer school programmes give the required training to study ably for the following year.
Because there is no gap in the learning process, summer schools prove to be very effective in maintaining the curiosity and the spirit of learning in children. The provided timetable, if followed religiously, gives children an edge over their peers come school time because there hasn’t been any ‘gap’ in learning.
Thus, a child can perform to his or her fullest over the year. A summer school not only gives children valuable knowledge but also toughens them up for the upcoming year!
It is better to be prepared at all times, and that is exactly what the Columbia Business School Summer Programme does.
Let us dive deeper into it for a better understanding.
