Greetings!
Dear Friends of the Martin De Porres School:
I want to take this opportunity to wish all of you the best as we start our 2019 Summer Program. We offer our students six full weeks and 30 full days of learning experiences which will solidify what they have achieved over the past year, and prepare them to move right into the new challenges and opportunities of the Fall program.
2019 marks our 47th year of service to our students, their families and the School Districts that reach out for our help. We have some exciting initiatives in store which will enhance our services to out High School students and make for continuity and collaboration among all 3 of our programs.
