Online Summer School

Flexible for Your Students, Affordable for Your School

We know that most students lose academic ground during the summer.^† Yet, according to the American Association of School Administrators, more than a third of the nation’s school districts will have to consider cutting summer school  this school year.

Connections Learning Summer School Programs offers an affordable way to keep summer school doors open, your course options flexible, and your students moving forward—virtually!

Drawing from our standards-aligned and public school-tested curriculum, Connections Learning offers a targeted selection of the most in-demand summer school courses:

• High School Original Credit courses are for middle or high school students seeking credit, looking to enrich their academic experience, or wishing to accelerate.
• High School Credit Recovery courses are for students who need to make up the course to meet graduation requirements.
• Camp Connections provides students with exciting virtual "camps" that focus on special interests such as Robotics, Poetry, Art, Broadcast, Science in the Kitchen and the Environment.
• Summer Smarts^® offers students grades K–8 a variety of options.  From Technology courses that combine essential reading and math skills with technology instruction, Math and Reading courses that provide your student a chance to review foundational skills and catch up with his or her peers.

^†American students typically score lower on standardized tests at the end of the summer than they do on the very same test at the beginning of the summer. . .
