The Summer Leadership Program reinforces what students learn during the school year through additional academic instruction and outdoor activities that encourage character development, team building and leadership skills. The Summer Leadership Program is the first point of contact for new students.

All students participate in the program before starting middle school and continue to attend the program between each year they attend the school. The spirit and energy the students gain in the Summer Leadership Program are essential in the creation of a community of learning at the New York Nativity Centers.
