FCPS Summer Learning Options
FCPS Summer Online Campus
Students should speak with their school counselor to ensure a course aligns with their four-year plan/graduation requirements.
FCPS online campus offers limited courses over the summer for new credit. If a student is interested, he/she/they should reach out to their school counselor to plan appropriately. Additional considerations:
Summer courses for new credit are very time consuming and recommended only for students who have blocked out the time to take the course.
Each course has an associated fee. Fees can be reduced for students who qualify for free and reduced lunch.
The courses run from mid-June to mid-July. The online campus recommends that students plan on 4-6 hours a day of work, Monday through Friday.
Students must log in to their class every day. Failure to consistently log in will result in the student being dropped from the course, and fees may not be refunded.
The courses are taught and paced by an instructor. This is not a self-directed course done at the student’s pace.

Credit Recovery
Credit Recovery is a program designed to help students who have failed a course to earn academic credit over the summer. In past years, specific high schools were designated to offer face to face instruction to our students. Busing was provided. Current information will be provided as we get closer to summer. In the past, Credit Recovery ran from 9-2, Monday through Friday, from the end of June to the end of July. If you, or your student, are concerned about failing a course, please reach out to your counselor and ask if Credit Recovery is a good option for you / your student. Seats are limited and first come, first serve.
