Online Summer School General Information:

GPS Global Academy offers on-level, honors, and credit recovery courses as a six-week session for students entering grades 7 through 12 during the summer. GPS Global Academy courses are self-paced with teacher feedback and support throughout the course. The following details should be important considerations before enrolling in an online summer class: 

• Students may plan their schedule to work flexibly during the session but must be within the United States to access courses. 
• Students may enroll in up to two online courses during the summer. 
• To finish by the end of the term, students should plan to spend a minimum of 2-3 hours a day, 5 days a week, per online course. However, they may work faster in order to finish sooner. 
• Math courses: Students enrolling in both parts of math courses should plan to work longer during each week in order to be on pace to complete both courses by the end of the session. The second course will be activated upon completion of the first. 
• Once courses are complete, the student must take the final exam in person at GPS Global Academy or their home high school.
• All courses will be completed before the beginning of the new school year.
