🧘‍♀️ August: unplug to return with energy. How to make the most of summer to prepare for a stress-free start to the school year!

📖 August is synonymous with holidays, but it’s also the moment when many families start thinking (sometimes with a bit of stress) about September.

At Acadèmia A+ de Reus, we know that a good start to the school year begins now: with calm, organization, and confidence.

Here are some ideas to make the most of these last weeks of summer:

🌞 1. Keep a bit of routine. Rest is important, but not abandoning schedules completely can help a lot: waking up at roughly the same time, setting aside a moment to read, or doing a quiet activity each day.

🧠 2. Activate the brain with small things. Board games, reading, sudokus, TV series in English, writing a diary… it all counts! There’s no need to study as if it were school: just keep curiosity alive.

📚 3. Review materials and plan for the year. Take a look at the books, prepare the pencil case, tidy up the study space… All of this can motivate students and give them a sense of control and readiness.

🧭 4. Talk about the new school year positively. Let’s avoid phrases like “the good times are over” or “back to suffering.” The message should be: “You have a new opportunity to learn and grow.” And if support is needed, we are here to help.

🤝 5. Have a diagnostic session before starting. Many students need to know where they stand and where they’re headed. At the academy, we offer sessions to assess their level and prepare a personalized study plan—whether in academic support or English.

💬 If you want this school year to start off on the right foot, we’ll help you plan it together. Contact us before September and reserve a spot in our support or English groups.
