Summer School – Credit Recovery and Math Acceleration

ASA offers summer school opportunities for both credit recovery and math acceleration to help students stay on track or move ahead in their coursework.

This year, we are partnering with Smart Schools, an accredited, self-paced online platform offering affordable summer options for most subjects. Courses are $99 per month and can be completed in June, July, or a combination of both.

Types of Summer Courses Offered by Smart Schools

  • Credit Recovery: Available for all academic subjects except foreign language. Students recovering math credit must pass an in-person final exam on ASA’s campus on July 28th, July 29th, July 30th, or August 1st.. A score of 70% or higher in both the coursework and the final exam is required to earn credit.
  • Math Acceleration: Students seeking to advance to a higher-level math course may take an approved summer course through Smart Schools if it was recommended by the teacher. An in-person final exam is also required in these cases, with a passing score of 85% or higher in both the coursework and the final exam.

Foreign Language Credit Recovery

Foreign language recovery must be completed through an accredited community college or high school. Following the course completion, students must pass an in-person final exam  on ASA’s campus on July 28th, July 29th, July 30th, or August 1st. A score of 70% or higher in both the coursework and the final exam is required to earn credit.

If you can find an in-person option, that is HIGHLY recommended as foreign language mastery requires consistent immersion. An in-person course will also better prepare students to pass the in-person final exam mentioned above. However, we understand that in our post-COVID environment, finding an in-person summer program can be challenging. Students/families are responsible for making foreign language credit recovery arrangements independently, and must request transcripts of their completed coursework be sent directly to andrew.doumakes@goasa.org

Important Deadlines

Families will be notified of any prescribed summer courses during the week of May 27. If your student is assigned summer coursework and has not already registered, you must do so by the end of the week of June 2 to ensure enough time to complete the course.

****All summer coursework must be completed by July 25th.****
