Kids on Campus

Kids On Campus enrichment classes are presented by Southwestern Illinois College (SWIC) and Association for Bright Learners’ Education (ABLE). This self-supporting program offers classes for students currently enrolled in grades K-8. Class selection should be based on the current 2008-2009 school year grade level. Your child will have an opportunity to learn new ideas and acquire new skills in a college environment while making new friends in this exciting summer program.

Class instructors are either certified teachers or experts in their fields, but are not Special Ed certified.
