The High School Summer Program at RIS offers students the opportunity to strengthen existing skills, accelerate prior learning, and advance to the next level of understanding.
With a wide range of courses available across the high school curriculum, students can select classes that best align with their academic goals—whether for summer enrichment or preparation for the upcoming school year.
Students may choose to enroll in a morning class, an afternoon class, or both. Each class block runs for 3 hours and 25 minutes, including 25 minutes of break, a 40 minute lunch is scheduled between blocks.
By taking a graduation requirement—such as P.E. or Art—during the summer, students can free up a half credit hour (or full credit hour if they take two classes) during the regular school year for other pursuits.
To receive credit, students may not be absent more than twice. All absences must be supported by a medical certificate.

GRAPHIC NOVEL STUDIES
CREDIT: 0.5 (ENG) (afternoon)
In the Graphic Novel course, we will explore how graphic novels combine visual storytelling and written language to create powerful narratives. Students will examine how authors use panel structure, imagery, color, dialogue, and layout to shape meaning and influence the reader’s experience. Through reading and discussion, students will analyze key literary concepts such as theme, characterization, symbolism, and authorial choice, while also developing an understanding of visual literacy.
In addition to literary analysis, students will engage in creative activities that allow them to experiment with storytelling through images and text, such as designing their own comic panels or reinterpreting scenes from the texts. By the end of the course, students will gain a deeper appreciation for graphic novels as a serious literary form and strengthen their reading, writing, and analytical skills.
SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH
CREDIT: 0.5 (SCI) (morning, afternoon)
This course is designed to give students an opportunity to develop their scientific research skills such as planning and conducting experiments; analyzing primary and secondary data; finding and reading scientific literature sources; mathematical modeling of scientific phenomena; and evaluating scientific methodologies for validity and reliability. Students will choose a project of interest from one of the following areas: sports science, health/nutrition, design and flight of paper rockets, food science or environmental science. Based on their choice, they will be guided through the research process culminating in a conference-like poster session in which they will present their findings.
THAI CUISINE
CREDIT: 0.5 (ELEC) (morning)
Thai cuisine is a simple yet clever combination of Eastern and Western influences, harmoniously combined to create this “explosion of flavors”. Sour, sweet, salty, bitter, and spicy flavors work together to make each dish come alive. In an attempt to cover as much as possible, the Thai Cuisine course groups the variety of Thai dishes into seven big groups: Soups, Appetizers, Salads, Main dishes, Curries, Desserts, and Street food. Surely, the 24 different dishes cooked during this course will give you the confidence to cook Thai food for your future college friends. Come join us in this delicious adventure!!!
