Studies show that students lose an average of one month of learning over summer break. That’s why it’s so important to encourage learning and keep their minds active during these months.
But it can be challenging for parents to find affordable programs that don’t interfere with summer jobs or family trips. Online summer learning offers families flexible alternatives that fit seamlessly into busy schedules.
With online learning, you can keep your child’s mind active over summer break and help them move toward their goals without missing out on the family trip, maintaining their job, or spending time with friends.
This summer, we’re offering 7 different options that may benefit your child:
By taking an online course over the summer, students can earn credit, catch up on graduation credits, and make room in next year’s schedule.
In our summer online classes, students have 10 weeks to complete summer coursework at their own pace and will be supported along the way by a highly qualified, Michigan-certified online instructor who is an expert in their subject area.
These courses have a rolling start date, which means students can start as early as June 3 or as late as June 28. Regardless of their start date, they will have until August 9 to complete their coursework.
