Summertime—a season that conjures up mental images of long, lazy days that you never want to end. For some, it’s memories of sleepaway or day camps; for others, it’s recollections of family vacations far from school or work.
Spring break is just around the corner, so why are we already talking about summer school curriculum?? When many people think of summer school, they envision a room filled with students who are goof-offs, woefully clueless, or angst-ridden. I’ve been a teacher or administrator of a summer school for high school students for almost 15 years, and, in my experience, the stereotypes from comedy movies are outnumbered by the students who actually populate those classrooms.
We’ve written in the past about how to make sure that summer school won’t ruin your summer or how to make summer courses help you in meeting your educational goals. However, if you are like most people, you don’t want to think about anything school-related during the summer! How can you enjoy your summer vacation while not giving in to the “summer slide?”
Now that we’re getting close to the end of the academic year, there are parents and students coming to the conclusion that they need to start thinking about summer classes for high school students in NYC. Whether it’s summer high school science programs or summer math classes for high school students, finding the optimal setting takes advance planning and now is probably a good time to start looking.
Here are some tips to keep in mind when you’re searching for summer classes in NYC:
Summer school is much-maligned. There are relatively few students, parents, or teachers who look at summer school as a golden opportunity, and so it always gets a bad rap.

“Summer school” has been the boogeyman of students in movies and schools for decades: “If you fail this course, you’re going to have to go to SUMMER SCHOOL!” (Cue scary music and/or demonic laugh.) But for a growing group of families, summer school (and, particularly, summer school for high school students) is not a punishment but an opportunity—a chance to improve skills, follow a passion, or jump ahead.
It's summer again—a long-awaited time of rest for many students, time to have fun, explore, travel or dedicate yourself to a new or an old hobby. Who doesn’t want that? As we’ve said in the past, we all need a break, and we probably deserve it.
However, long summer vacations could also make you forget a lot of what you’ve learned over the past school year. And we value the time and effort you’ve put during that time, so we’ve come up with the following five tactics to help you stay focused, avoid summer learning loss, and get ahead with your future goals.
When the dreaded news comes, every student and parent worries that summer school in NYC is going to mess up vacation, camp, or job plans. It really doesn’t have to if you start developing your educational strategy now.
Here we are, summer around the corner, the sidewalks soon heating up, and dreams of beach vacations approaching. But wait. Maybe you’re just realizing your son has fallen behind in that geometry class. Maybe your daughter needs better language prep in Spanish or Latin. Perhaps English is a second language and your child will be more comfortable with classes next term by continuing English studies during the summer. Or maybe your child wants to go deeper in a topic of interest.
