Summer School

Registration for Summer School and College Application Bootcamp opens on April 15.

Registration for Freshman Immersion opens on April 11.

Summer classes are extremely fast-paced. For in-person classes, 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, organizational skills are critical and an even greater time commitment is necessary.

• In-Person Classes: Attendance and tardy rules apply. These classes run 4 hours per day.
• Online Classes: Asynchronous course schedule with an in-person final. CLICK HERE for more details.
• College Application Boot Camp: Two four-day sessions are scheduled this summer.

Please refer to the Course Catalog.

Freshman Immersion: It is a requirement that all incoming freshmen attend one 4-day session of Freshman Immersion during the summer prior to their freshman year. This course is designed to help students achieve success in their high school years. The goals of this course are to intentionally build community, engage in formation of our mission, and acquire the necessary technology skills to be successful in the day-to-day requirements at JSerra. 

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. This course is offered online.

Freshman Immersion:

Students must attend all 4 days; no absences will be allowed.

All In-Person Classes:

Due to the short nature of the Summer Session, students are permitted only 1 absence per session and only 2 tardies per session. All students must be present for the in-person final exam on the last day of each session. More than one absence and more than two tardies will cause the student to forfeit credit for the class. Summer School tuition is non-refundable.

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 Catholic values for which JSerra stands.
