Summer Programs

Summer enrichment programs are a great way for a student to immerse themselves in a subject to see if they truly have an interest in it.  Many colleges across the nation have summer programs (both residential and non-residential).  Course offerings include math, science, technology, creative writing, film, visual arts, theater, music, and much more.  Some programs have competitive admissions standards, others are more open.  Most programs begin registration as early as January/February and spots fill up fast.  Pay attention to deadlines, costs, and cancellation policies. Here are just a few of the many opportunities available.  Search the internet or a college website or go to Naviance and look under Enrichment for more.  

**  NOTE:  If you received a grade of "D" or "F" in an academic a-g course, you will need to retake that course in summer school to make up that grade so that you can be eligible to apply to a California public college (CSU or UC).  Also check out these accredited online classes offered through Silicon Valley High School that meet the UC a-g requirements.  See your guidance counselor for more information.
