ECC Summer Learning Academy Registration Opens Monday

Registration for East Central College’s 2026 Summer Learning Academy opens Monday, April 13, with a new lineup of classes designed to give students a fun, hands-on learning experience.

Families can explore class offerings and register at www.eastcentral.edu/sla.

The Summer Learning Academy offers enrichment opportunities for students ages 10 to 18 through a variety of classes that encourage creativity, curiosity, skill-building, and personal growth.

Each summer, the program gives students the chance to explore new interests in an engaging college setting.

For 2026, Summer Learning Academy classes will be offered exclusively on ECC’s Union campus during the month of July, with classes beginning July 6.

Summer programming in Rolla is on hiatus this year as the College focuses time and resources on renovation and construction tied to the new ECC Rolla building.

Class fees vary by course. While many classes are priced at $10 or $25, some are offered at no cost and others may be priced higher depending on the subject matter and instructional needs.

The fees help offset administrative and instructional costs, while continued support from Summer Learning Academy sponsors helps keep the program an affordable option for area families. The 2026 schedule includes a wide range of classes designed to make summer learning both accessible and enjoyable for participants.
