Summer School Options for CAVA Students

Below are recommendations of summer programs.  All questions regarding a summer program outside of CAVA should be directed to that summer school.

*If you are registering for summer school, please contact your Guidance Counselor or Freshman Support Specialist for assistance in choosing your summer school course. We want to ensure that the course is meeting the high school graduation requirement that you need to fulfill and/or a college entrance requirement.

1. For CAVA's Online Summer Program:  Our summer school information will come in 2025.

• Summer school options for Credit Recovery are typically available for students who have failed a course.  These courses are not A-G approved. Your counselor can assign you up to four semesters of Credit Recovery courses.

• There may possibly be a very small number of courses you can take for the first time to get ahead. Your counselor can only assign up to two semesters of these types of courses called Standard Courses. These are courses you’ve never taken before.
