Firat Educational Solutions (FES) is proud to present its first annual Summer Writing Workshops for Houston-area students whose grade levels range from 3rd to 12th! Why focus on writing? Simply because writing is one of the more, if not the most, important fundamental educational skills for virtually anyone, at any age.

Whether it is the next level of education, or simply a career choice or placement, people with the appropriate and effective writing skills and styles are the ones that stand out amongst others. This is why we designed FES Summer Writing Workshops to enhance your children’s writing skills, styles, and confidence at an early age. Most importantly, they will have fun at the same time as they learn.

Registration deadline for all workshops is extended to June 17, 2009. Due to limited capacity, however, we advise you to register as early as possible. You may view the availability status for each workshop below. Cancellations and full refund accepted only through the first day of each corresponding workshop. Please contact Josephine Gough, Vice President of FES, at 281-740-0581 or info@firateducation.com if you have any additional questions about our Summer Writing Workshops. We look forward to providing you with educational solutions for life. ™
