Our co-ed summer school program offers a four-week, in-class session where students can earn one (1) credit hour. Open to both boarding and day students entering grades 9th through 12th in Fall 2025, this program is designed for ambitious learners.
Although we offer the military option during the academic year, our summer school program is not military-based. It provides a structured yet supportive environment where students can advance their studies ahead of the upcoming school year or recover a credit from the previous year.
Students will engage in challenging coursework and benefit from supervised evening study halls. Beyond academics, students can enjoy exciting activities after school and on weekends.
Please note that class will not be held on July 4th.
Classes are subject to change based on interest.
