Elementary and Middle School Summer Academy

Summer Academy is a great way for students to participate in enriching and engaging experiences that will help them to develop skills, explore interests, and prepare for the upcoming academic year. Students are referred to Summer Academy based on their demonstrated proficiency in grade level skills using a variety of measures. Families of selected students are notified from the student's home school. See the Summer Academic Programs catalog for specific Summer Academy information.
