Summer Programs

List of 4 items.

• Program Details

  Attendance
  Half and full-credit courses run from 9:00 AM–12:30 PM. Courses are carefully planned to meet curriculum requirements. Students are required to attend all classes. One day’s absence is the equivalent of missing a full week of classes during the traditional school year. Students who are absent or frequently tardy are liable to lose academic credit for the EDGE course and are subject to dismissal. No refund will be given for students who are removed from coursework due to absences or tardiness.

  
  Parents of students enrolled in courses or workshops are encouraged to report planned or unplanned absences to edgeacademics@salesianum.org.
  
  

  Books and materials

  Students will receive course-specific information about required books and materials after enrollment has been processed and courses confirmed.

  Check out our complete EDGE Program Guide for detailed information and course listings.

   

  Enrollment

  All courses and some workshops have limited seats available and are filled on a first-come, first-served basis.

   

  The registration deadline for half- and full-credit courses is Friday, April 12. Registration for middle school, freshman, and SAT prep workshops will continue throughout the summer. Students and parents will be contacted and refunded if a class is canceled due to low enrollment.

   

  Grading

  Salesianum Summer EDGE courses use our school’s grading scale, and grades are included on students’ high school transcripts. To receive course credit, students must meet the course objectives determined by Salesianum. Students who fail a summer course will not receive course credit or a tuition refund.

   

  Phasing

  Due to the rigorous and immersive nature of the summer session, most Summer EDGE at Salesianum courses follow an Accelerated and/or Honors curriculum. Students enrolled in the College Prep curriculum may still take Accelerated and/or Honors courses — interested students should review prerequisites carefully and consult with current teachers, guidance counselors, and Gardner Center counselors to determine the best courses for them. 

   

  Refunds

  Since budgeting commitments must be made before the opening of the summer session, all course and workshop withdrawals must be submitted in writing to edge@salesianum.org by April 16th. While the 50% tuition deposit is nonrefundable, students who withdraw prior to April 16th will not be billed for the remaining balance of tuition.

   

  Tuition:

  • Full-credit Courses: $1,300
  • Half-credit Courses: $700
  • Freshman and SAT Workshop: $550
  • Other Workshops: $300

   

  Virtual and asynchronous accommodation

  Courses and workshops that are not designated "hybrid" or "virtual" in our online catalog are run entirely in person on Salesianum's campus. The decision whether to offer courses and workshops with a virtual or hybrid option is made in consultation with instructors considering the complexity of content, the accelerated pace, and the impact of logistics on lesson planning and student experience.

   

  While we are occasionally able to permit short-term virtual attendance (one or two days) for extenuating circumstances, we are not able to accommodate requests for extended or full-time virtual or asynchronous instruction for in-person courses.

   

  Requests for short-term virtual or asynchronous instruction must be submitted in writing to edgeacademics@salesianum.org and will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
