在漫长的学年之后, students and parents welcome the start of summer vacation to relax and take a break. 大约过了一个星期的暑假, 虽然, many parents are scrambling to find ways to fill their student’s day with meaningful activities to avoid the dreaded “I’m bored!”

Parents looking for ways to keep their students engaged with learning over the summer—and 避免“夏季滑坡”的学习损失-应该考虑暑期学校项目.

为什么上暑期学校?

While summer school isn’t required for most students, there are many 参加暑期班的好处, 包括学习和技能发展, 争取提前或按时毕业, and taking classes that are not typically offered during the school year.

网上暑期学校有什么好处?

Online summer school is good for students from kindergarten through high school. Here are five ways summer school courses can benefit your student:

1. 避免夏季学习损失

根据 最近的研究, “summer slide” causes students to lose 20% of their school year gains in reading and 27% in math on average during summer break, with test scores dropping the equivalent of one month of learning after summer vacation.

Online summer school keeps students engaged with learning to help avoid summer slide. Online summer school programs offer hundreds of course options ranging from core subjects like math and language arts to enrichment classes like art and music. 学生甚至可以开始学习一门新的语言! Students have the opportunity to explore other subjects and interests they wouldn’t otherwise be exposed to during the regular school year. Teachers guide online summer school students through their coursework and are there to support their summer learning.

2. Reinforce Core Class Knowledge and Achieve Learning Gains

Many online summer school courses, like 培生在线学院’s 夏季智能数学和阅读课程 适用于中小学生, reinforce knowledge in core subjects and help students who may have fallen behind catch up with their peers.

Many families want to know what summer school is like in middle school and high school. Middle and high school students can take online summer language arts and math classes that introduce essential grade-level skills to prepare students for advancing in those subjects in the upcoming school year. High school students can also take advantage of honors and Advanced Placement®* courses to get ahead in their learning and improve their GPA.

3. 补缺学分

For students who didn’t earn credit after taking a course needed for graduation, 暑期学校可以帮助他们通过考试, 通过信用恢复课程. Students learn core skills and recover the credits they need to graduate. 培生在线学院 summer school credit recovery courses adapt to students’ needs by focusing on areas of weakness to ensure success.

4. 维护程序

A key benefit of summer school for elementary students is maintaining a routine throughout the summer. 孩子们 感觉更舒适和安全 when they follow a daily routine and know what to expect each day. Online summer school helps students maintain a similar routine to the one they have during the school year and keeps their study skills sharp, all while giving families the flexibility to mix in different summertime activities.

5. 提前从高中毕业

Online summer school can not only help students pass, but it can also provide them the opportunity to graduate early and get a head start in college. High school students can take core credit classes over the summer instead of waiting until the next school year.

米歇尔Wadzinski, whose daughter graduated one semester early with the help of 培生在线学院’s online summer program, 说, "暑期学校, 任何家庭都无法打败这所学校. Students are more open to online summer school because it means they have flexibility and don’t have to sit in a physical classroom over the summer. 它使学习和良好的学习习惯保持活力.”
