Helping ambitious students achieve their goals.
Join highly motivated students from across the United States and around the world in our challenging summer courses. These asynchronous, for-credit courses are eight weeks long and designed for ambitious students who want to move forward in their math sequence, get ahead on graduation requirements or explore something new.
June 15 - August 7, 2026
Two Formats, Same Rigorous Content
Summer courses are intensive, for-credit opportunities for ambitious students. Students receive grades and comments in these classes, which are the equivalent of year-long, high-school courses.
We offer all our courses in two distinct formats: Directed Studies and Traditional 8-Week Paced. This dual-format approach allows students and families to select the learning structure that best matches their needs, learning style, and summer commitments.
Both formats maintain the same high academic standards and cover similar curricula. The difference lies in structure, pacing, and assessment expectations.
Traditional 8-Week Paced Format
Our traditional format provides a structured eight-week experience with consistent weekly expectations. Students follow a schedule that quickly becomes routine with regular deadlines and predictable pacing each week. This format works well for students who thrive with external structure, prefer regular feedback and engagement with instructors and peers, and want a clear week-by-week roadmap through the material.
Pacing for summer courses is fast; students should plan to devote 20-25 hours per week for all eight weeks to their course. Therefore, students must have availability to complete course work daily between June 15-August 7.
Directed Studies Format
Students in the Directed Studies format cover the same content with the same level of rigor but with greater flexibility: they complete the coursework over two consecutive four-week blocks, averaging 80-100 hours of work during each half. This format includes two major deadlines to ensure steady progress: students must complete at least half the course by July 10 and the entire course by August 7. The submission deadlines on these two dates are firm.
Students can work ahead at their own pace throughout the summer, structuring their learning around travel, jobs, camps, and other commitments.
Unlike Traditional Courses, there are no weekly due dates in Directed Studies sections. This means students have significant autonomy in organizing their work. Students still receive regular instructor support, feedback on submitted work, and access to peers, but without the constraint of weekly deliverables.
