ACPS PreK students will focus thier summer learning on the five senses. Students in grades K-5 will engage in STEM learning, while grades 6-8 will engage in Career Exploration modules. Current 8th-grade students will also have the opportunity to participate in Music, Theatre & Dance camp or Health/PE 9 in-person course. For high school students, in-person summer learning will be available only for students needing credit recovery courses. New credit courses will be offered through an online vendor. We are excited for our summer learning programs! The number of students we can serve will depend on our staffing and school location capacity.

Most summer opportunities are free to all students, with the exception of new courses at Alexandria City High School. Any student whose circumstances have been impacted by COVID-19 or is eligible for free or reduced price meals can access these classes for free by contacting their school counselor.
