Montgomery County Public Schools is expanding its summer school program by adding more locations and operating hours.
Summer school classes will be taught four days a week from 8 a.m.to 2:30 p.m., allowing for more instructional time and consistency for families, according to MCPS officials.
Six high schools will offer in person and limited virtual credit courses during two sessions. The first session runs from July 7 through July 21 and the second will operate from July 23 through Aug. 6. Meals and transportation will be provided. However, there is a charge for each course taken.
Each class is nine days long and comes with half a course credit. Students can take one class per session.
Classes will be held at:
- Clarksburg High School
- Albert Einstein High School
- Richard Montgomery High School
- Paint Branch High School
- Watkins Mill High School
- Wheaton High School
Registration opens March 9. Students should check with a school counselor for information.
The middle school summer program is entitled IGNITE Middle School Academy and will operate on a project-based program to prepare students for their next school year. It will operate at six regional sites Mondays through Thursdays. Meals and transportation will also be available in this program.
Classes will be held at:
- Argyle Middle School
- Eastern Middle School
- Forest Oak Middle School
- Francis Scott Key Middle School
- Julius West Middle School
- Rocky Hill Middle School
Interested parents and students can register at ParentVue.
There will also be an extended school year program for students with disabilities who require support beyond the regular school year.
Summer programs also are available for students at Title 1 schools. Those classes are free and will focus on literacy, math, science, social students and well-being.
During the last summer’s program, the focus mainly was on high school students who needed credits towards graduation. It was held both in person and virtually. The programming also was for all students who received special education services or attend a Title 1 elementary or middle school.
