Knox College 4 Kids

Knox College has decided to cancel this year's summer enrichment program, College 4 Kids, in order to relaunch the program fully in 2024. We look forward to planning the 2024 College 4 Kids and providing young people with fun and educational classes.

Knox College for Kids (College 4 Kids) is a summer enrichment program for students from Galesburg and the surrounding communities who are entering grades 1-8.

The program began at Knox College in 1975. Classes are taught by Knox faculty, master teachers from area schools, professionals, and Knox College students who serve as teachers or teaching assistants.

Knox College 4 Kids courses are designed to engage and motivate students of all backgrounds.
