Upper School Course Information

Summer session is an intensive time during which an entire school year’s course is taught in only 5 weeks. Whether a student is taking the class for credit or enrichment, they should be highly motivated and willing to exert the effort required. Before choosing to enroll in an Upper School course, please be aware that the pace is extremely fast, as the 5 weeks of instruction are intended to replace an entire regular school year’s work. Teachers usually complete about a chapter a day. All required books will be included in your registration and distributed on the first day of class. Please be sure to pack lunch/snacks as breaks will be given throughout each class.

You can expect about 2-3 hours of homework a night, as well as multiple tests per week. Students need to be able to commit fully to the class expectations. Students who withdraw early because they find the class too easy or too difficult will not have their tuition refunded. Students whose behavior is deemed distracting or detrimental to the class will be asked to leave without any remission of tuition.

Advanced credit math classes require a minimum total of 120 hours of classroom instruction. Advanced credit science classes require a minimum total of 140 hours. Students taking the course for credit (not enrichment) may miss no more than 1 day of class, and the hours missed must be made up, at a predetermined time by the Director of Summer Programs, before the end of the summer session. Students are expected to be on time for class. Time missed due to lateness must also be made up. A student who leaves a course before the Final Exam date, for any reason, will NOT be given the exam on an alternate date.

Please check with your child’s current teacher or guidance counselor to ensure that you are enrolling them in the proper course. If you are taking a course for credit, you must have your Credit Course Permission Form signed by your principal or guidance counselor or submit a completed Option II Form from your child’s school counselor. It is each family’s responsibility to receive proper permission from their district for credit courses.

We reserve the right to cancel or amend any class for any reason. These decisions will be made at least 2 weeks before the start of the session and you will be notified via email.
