Virtual programming for students entering grades 7–9 in fall 2021
Experienced and supportive teachers. Small classes. Opportunities to gain confidence and knowledge. This Summer Session program will help you hone your academic skills in courses that most middle schools don’t offer and in small groups where you’ll get individual attention from expert teachers.

- Six-week session: June 28–Aug. 6
