Summer School = Flexibility and Fun!


I just signed up to take a religion course entitled “Christian Themes in Films” this summer at SSSAS.  Having the opportunity to take a summer class for credit, with one of our teachers, is a great option for managing your high school schedule.  By completing a course during the summer, you have a little more flexibility in your schedule during the school year.  Furthermore, focusing on just one class over the course of one or two intensive weeks is a fun way to learn.  One summer I took an American Red Cross course and became certified in CPR and First Aid.  By completing this course, I not only earned a P.E. credit for school but also used the certification to help land a job as a camp counselor.  In addition to offering classes for school credit, SSSAS offers numerous summer enrichment courses such as “Study Skills,” “Composition Skills,” and  “College Essay Writing.”  Of course, summer is a time for fun away from school, but spending a week or two taking a summer course can be both fun and beneficial.  Oh yeah, flips flops allowed!  http://www.sssas.org/summer
