Laurel Springs summer courses offer flexible scheduling, allowing students to begin their coursework on a weekly basis every Wednesday from April 30 to September 10. Designed for accelerated learning, these courses cover the same material as a traditional school-year course but in a condensed format, with one-semester courses lasting six weeks and full-year courses spanning twelve weeks. Students benefit from the asynchronous nature of the program, meaning they can work at their own pace without required live sessions. However, for those looking for a more interactive experience, select workshops, bootcamps, and camps include live instruction to enhance engagement and learning.

“In my area, they offer summer school, but it’s not flexible; you can’t do it whenever and wherever, nor does it allow time to socialize or go outside. The program at Laurel Springs was totally self-paced and multifaceted. The summer pre-requisites opened the door to the courses I needed for senior year and university. Without this program, graduating early wouldn’t have been possible for me.”

“You can pursue what you love to do and not sacrifice your education. I love learning, and at Laurel Springs, you learn as much as you want.”
Michaela Sewall

“One thing that I really love about being at Laurel Springs is being able to set my own pace and make my own schedule. When I’m traveling, I don’t really do that much online work for Laurel Springs because I just need to be in the zone, especially if I’m at a competition or something. It’s very rigorous and I need to make an effort to become better and put all my knowledge into my craft.”

Summer Program FAQs
An average workload expectation might look like this for summer courses. However, the actual time a student spends will vary significantly by student, especially if they pace faster than 6/12 weeks:
– Lower School courses: about 1.5 hours per day, per subject
– Middle School courses: about 2.25 hours per day, per subject
– College Prep level courses: about 3 hours per day, per class
– Honors level courses: about 4.5 hours per day, per class
– AP level courses: about 5 hours per day, per class
Due to the accelerated nature of summer courses, students may enroll in no more than two credits through summer school (two full-year courses or four semester courses).
Our elementary school camps are synchronous, meaning that students log onto our platform and connect with their teacher and peers in a live session. Parents may need to help guide coursework for middle school students taking summer courses. High school students taking summer courses should be able to set their schedules and work through their lessons with minimal supervision.
Summer school students need a standard laptop or desktop computer with Windows or Mac OS support, plus an up-to-date browser and access to high-speed internet. Some courses require speakers and a microphone, and some require a printer and scanner.
