Highland Academy Summer's Cool Camp has operated on the Stockton University campus since 2009, and Summer Camp 2026 registration is open. The camp’s mission states that it gives every camper unique opportunities to learn through play, with activities and challenges that vary by age, interest, and individual talent, and that it offers a safe, fun, and loving environment with age-appropriate programs, flexible scheduling, and reasonable pricing. Campers can bring their own lunch or purchase items from a cafeteria-style lunchroom on campus.

Highland Academy is an independent, non-sectarian private school founded in 2001, enrolling children from pre-school through 8th grade, and it uses project-based instruction based on New Jersey Core standards, complemented by Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences and William Glasser's Choice Theory. It is described as a top-rated independent private school in Absecon, NJ, with 90% of K–8 students having earned individual recognition for a standardized test score above the 90th percentile and school-wide standardized test averages around the 80th percentile, and it lists recent awards with no further detail provided. Highland Academy welcomes families from across Atlantic, Cape May, Cumberland, Ocean, and eastern Gloucester counties, including many nearby towns in South Jersey.

Parent testimonials describe small class sizes and teacher-student ratios, a caring and safe learning environment, strong academic performance including reading above grade level, success on standardized testing, growth in acting and singing through the arts program, a family atmosphere, closeness of the student body, and an emphasis on respect, kindness, hard work, and student adjustment. Several parents state that their children have attended for multiple years, including from the inaugural school year, and report that their children are doing well in their current classes and that they believe Highland Academy played a significant role in that progress.
