Summer classes are extremely fast-paced. In addition to the four hours of instruction received each day, it is important for each student to allocate additional time after school to work on homework. For online classes, an even greater time commitment is necessary.

• On-Campus Classes: $725/session. Attendance and tardy rules apply. Class caps are 20-25 students. These classes run 4 hours per day.
• Independent Study: $1,000/session. Students and teachers develop a mutually acceptable schedule (in-person vs. independent work-at-home). Instruction is one-on-one. For this reason, a higher fee is charged. Independent Study occurs when there are not enough students to fill a class.
• College Application Bootcamp: $550/session. Two one-week sessions are scheduled this summer. Representatives from various colleges and universities are brought in to conduct portions of the class. Classes take place Monday through Friday for 3.5 hours each day.

We highly recommend that incoming freshmen take advantage of the summer to take two courses designed to help them start their freshman year successfully:

1. First Year Seminar (FYS). This is a required course for all freshmen. The First Year Seminar course is built to ensure a meaningful transition into high school. Students will learn about JSerra, improve their academic skills, seek out campus resources, and build relationships.
2. Health. A requirement for graduation, this course covers a vast array of health-related topics including personal health, family and social health, individual growth and development, etc. Students will gain knowledge in these areas through the use of reading materials, lectures, research papers, and technology integrated instruction. Students receive five credits for this course.

REGISTER NOW

Due to the short nature of the Summer Session, students must attend all class meetings.

Students attending for credit classes are permitted only one absence per session and only two tardies per session. More than one absence and more than two tardies will cause the student to forfeit credit for the class.

Students in enrichment courses are permitted two absences. If a student forfeits credit for a class, tuition will be not refunded.

If a student will be absent

Student should email their teacher directly.

If a student arrives late

Student should report directly to class. If the student arrives more than 10 minutes late, they will be marked tardy.

If a student must leave early

Parents/guardians are required to give the school a signed note indicating the reason for leaving early as well as the time the student should be released from class. The note should be given to the receptionist in the Main Office. The student should also notify their teacher if they need to leave early.

A JSerra uniform is not required, however, it is expected that every student will dress according to reasonable standards of decency, mindful of the academic nature of the environment. Personal appearance and attire are expected to be neat and clean at all times. Students should err on the side of modesty and good taste.

In all matters of appearance, the Summer School Principal reserves the final judgment with regard to compliance to our policies.

The JSerra behavior code is intended to provide good order indispensable for the serious pursuit of academic excellence and for the high moral tone expected at JSerra. Behavior that is dangerous or keeps students from learning or prevents the teacher from teaching is not acceptable and will not be tolerated. Observance of this behavior code will put demands on the students’ self-control and growth toward maturity. The school reserves the right to review unsatisfactory conduct. The school is entitled to discipline the student with detention, suspension, probation, and/or dismissal should any of these be deemed justified by the school. The knowledge and compliance of the behavior code is expected of every student enrolled at JSerra.

JSerra’s Administration reserves the right to review the conduct and actions of JSerra students regardless of when or where such actions take place if they are of a nature to bring discredit to the school or if they conflict with the Christian values for which JSerra stands.

For more information regarding the expectations of student conduct, please refer to the Parent Student Handbook.
