Summer Enrichment Programs

Enrichment programs are facilitated by certified teachers with the intention to provide students the opportunity to grow or obtain credit toward graduation. There may be fees associated or scholarships available with each offering. 

Credit Accrual Online Courses (rising 9th grade - 12th grade) Credit accrual online courses are offered to students looking to move ahead in their academic careers. Course offerings may include Health and Physical Education, Driver’s Education (Classroom Portion), Economics and Personal Finance, Government, and English 12. 

Kindergarten Countdown Camp (Rising Kindergarten Students) GCPS partners with the United Way to offer this program to our rising Kindergarten students who have little to no preschool experience in an effort to afford our youngest students the skills to successfully begin their academic careers. The selection process will occur during Kindergarten registration. 

Intersessions Program (Kindergarten - 12th grade) Two week-long, full-day programs provide students with enrichment opportunities in areas such as fine arts, STEM, college visits, and various other experiences. Students and parents will have the opportunity to choose the activity that interests them.

Summer Remediation Programs

These programs provide students the opportunity to recover course content and/or course credit toward graduation. Remedial programs are taught by certified teachers and are free of charge. Each program is offered to select students. Each school will communicate whether or not your child will be offered the opportunity to attend.

Elementary Program (Kindergarten-Grade 5) Our goal for elementary summer programming is to keep our students interested and ready to come to school each day. Certified teachers provide a blended learning approach to math and reading remediation that engages our elementary students through enrichment. Students are invited to participate based upon academic need.

Middle School Program (Grades 6-8) Our goal for middle school summer programming is to keep our students interested and ready to come to school each day. Certified teachers provide a blended learning approach to math and reading remediation that engages our middle school students through enrichment. Students are invited to participate based upon academic need.

High School Program (Grades 9-12) Certified teachers provide content-specific remediation to provide students the opportunity to obtain course credit and/or verified credit toward graduation. Students will have the opportunity to take the Standards of Learning (SOL) assessment at the end of the program. Scores of 400 or greater on the SOL will result in verified credit attainment. Students scoring a 375-399, will be offered an opportunity to retake the SOL prior to the end of the program.

SOL Remediation (Grades 8-12) This brief three- to four-day program is offered to students who have passed a course but did not pass the Standards of Learning (SOL) assessment associated with that course. Certified teachers provide content-specific remediation prior to students taking the SOL. Scores of 400 or greater on the SOL will result in verified credit attainment. Students scoring a 375-399, will be offered an opportunity to retake the SOL prior to the end of the program.
