Summer School
Welcome to the 2021 Summer School Program of the Greenwich Public Schools. Due to the impact of COVID-19 on our District’s education, this year’s Summer School program will focus solely on literacy and numeracy skills for our PreK - 8 students, and advancement courses and credit recovery courses for our secondary level students.
Our rigorous and engaging academic programs for PreK, Elementary, and Secondary school students will help your child to continue developing their academic skills, and will enable those secondary students to gain credits, or advancement for the upcoming Fall Semester.
Students will practice inferring, making connections, critiquing, analyzing, and summarizing through a series of reading and writing activities.
Links for the Registration of your student will be organized in the following 5 areas:

The focus is on those students who require additional opportunities. At this time, we cannot open registration to all students. If we are able to add recommended students, you will receive an email.
