Ninth Grade Immersion Summer School Program

Ninth Grade Immersion Summer School Program is a Academy for Career Exploration tradition that dates back to 1989. Incoming ninth grade students must attend summer school prior to the beginning of the ninth grade year. Each student who successfully completes summer school will receive one half of an elective credit toward graduation.

Summer school is a combination of many things:

Summer school is required for all incoming students who are accepted prior to or during the summer session, which runs from 8:15 AM to 11:30 AM for 20 days in July. Good attendance, effort, and positive behavior are critical during the summer session, just as they are during the regular school year. Students whose attendance, punctuality, effort, or behavior are poor will begin the school year placed on a strict probationary contract or may lose their eligibility to attend ACE During the summer, breakfast, lunch, transportation, ESL services, and special education services are not available.
