The end of the 24-25 school year is around the corner, and with that comes summer break. For students aiming to get ahead, or students who need to catch up with their peers, summer school is a perfect option.
CCSD offers two different routes for students to take summer school. The first route is CCSD in person summer school. This summer school route will cost students $100.00 per half credit. This means that in order to earn credit for a full two semesters, students must pay $200.00.
Students should keep in mind that rules regarding student conduct apply to CCSD summer school. Students should also note that missing more than four days of classes in any session will result in the student being withdrawn from the session.
In person summer school classes will be hosted at the following locations: Basic Academy of International Studies, Centennial High School: Cimarron-Memorial High School, Desert Pines High School, Durango High School, Foothill High School, Legacy High School, Nevada Learning Academy, and Western High School.
Two summer school sessions will be held, serving as two semesters. The first session will be held from June 2, 2025–June 20, 2025. The second session will be held from June 23, 2025–July 11, 2025. Classes will start at 7:30 AM and end at 12:45 during both sessions.
For students who can’t attend in person, CCSD also offers online summer school through NVLA. NVLA online summer school has the same pricing as in person schooling, but there are two main differences compared to in person classes.
The first difference is the timing. NVLA summer schooling will take place over the course of one session compared to CCSD’s two. This means that students aiming to earn one credit must take two courses at the same time. The next difference is the classes offered, NVLA offers more classes as well as honors classes for students who previously failed them. Students should take both of these differences into consideration when deciding which summer school to attend.
Shadow Ridge High School Counselor, Lisa Hebb, explains which students should take summer school, stating, “I think students who need more teacher assistance should take classes in person. But if you are able to be more independent and self-sufficient, the online classes are nice because they give you more flexibility and freedom.”
For students looking for other options, Shadow Ridge recommends Delta Academy. Delta’s summer schooling is similar to NVLA’s. It’s online and there is a singular session. The pricing remains the same as the other options, $100.00 per half credit. Hebb explains the difference between the two online options, stating, “Delta Academy offers students to take a variety of honors classes for original credit during summer. NVLA typically only lets students take their honors level classes if they previously failed them.”
