Summer Enrichment

Southern Lehigh students are able to further or enhance their educational experiences during the summer months by enrolling in pre-approved coursework.  After successful completion, courses will be noted on the student's transcript with a “P” for the final grade and the appropriate credit earned, with no impact to grade point average.  

Guidelines for Course Credit and Acceleration:

• Students must complete the green Enrichment or Acceleration Form with their parents. 

• Approval must be granted in writing by the SLSD curriculum director and high school principal prior to the student enrolling in the course

• Students who take enrichment or acceleration courses must satisfy Southern Lehigh course prerequisites for acceleration when standards and curriculum are comparable and the minimum grade is attained. 

• Students may not have a study hall in their schedule the following year after summer acceleration.

• Summer acceleration registration forms will be available in the guidance office in May.

For students moving on to the next level in mathematics or science:

• Students are required to take Southern Lehigh High School’s final exam in addition to the completion of the approved course.

• The grade that the student earns in the requested course will account for 80% of the final grade, with the SLHS final exam counting as 20% of the final course grade.   

• The final grade must meet the prerequisite requirements of the subsequent course in order to accelerate on to the next desired course.

• The student is responsible for providing an official transcript of his/her performance to Southern Lehigh High School for verification.
