IDLA Online Summer School
Online summer school is also available through Idaho Digital Learning Alliance (IDLA) and enrollment starts April 3rd, 2023. You can find their course offering here.
Please remember that even though IDLA courses will count as equivalent credit to Boise School District classes, some of their courses may differ from the curriculum taught in Boise School District.
Contact your grade level counselor to sign up for IDLA courses.
If your child is not interested in taking academic classes during the summer, you can check out this list of Summer Camp opportunities that are available to you. These programs are not associated with the Boise School District and we are unable to make recommendations, answer questions or help with enrollment for any of them.
