The Beekman School offers comprehensive summer school programs for high school students in NYC. Students choose to participate in these supplemental sessions for a variety of reasons. Their objectives for attending a high school summer program may be to repeat coursework, accelerate graduation, earn additional credits, or enrich their knowledge in a specific subject area. These programs share flexible enrollment options that include full and short-term sessions. High school students can complete Beekman courses by following our regular summer session schedule. They can also earn credit through customized programs and one-on-one tutoring available through The Tutoring School. The wide range of personalized opportunities that we provide makes The Beekman School a stand-out among New York City summer schools.
Each year, The Beekman School runs a 24-day summer school program. For the school year ending in June 2025, summer classes will begin on Monday, June 30 and end on Thursday, August 7. There are four two-hour class periods each day, and all classes meet Monday through Thursday for the entire six weeks of the summer session. First period begins at 8:30 a.m., and the last period of the day ends at 5:45 p.m. Upon completion of 24 days of a two-hour course, students may earn a semester credit. The Beekman School offers all of the 9th, 10th and 11th grade core academic courses in English, history, math, and science.
The Beekman School is also offering full-year courses for advancement in:
- Chemistry (with lab)
- Biology (with lab)
- Geometry
- Algebra II/Trigonometry
- Pre-calculus
- Other core courses (based on interest)
These courses meet for four hours each day during our summer session and are capped at 10 students. Contact the school to inquire about schedule. Students registering by April 1st will receive a $400 Early Bird Discount!
The Tutoring School also offers a summer session that follows the same dates and schedule as the larger Beekman School program. The difference between the two programs is that The Tutoring School can offer virtually any high school course at any level. Courses are also available for 8th grade students who wish to prepare for the coming 9th grade year. Year-long courses can be taken through The Tutoring School.
In addition, courses in The Tutoring School are capped and guaranteed not to exceed three students. The average class size is two. Sessions in organization and study skills; SAT, TOEFL and GED preparation; and basic math, reading and writing skills are also available.
Our Mini-Session runs May-August. During this time, students may finalize coursework from the previous year, complete a marking period of work in a specific course (usually a total of 24 class hours), or arrange for special instruction for a myriad of unique situations.
The Tutoring School can also customize the start and end dates of Mini-Session instruction to meet the summer scheduling needs of students and their families.
