Make This Summer Count: Why Attending Summer Sessions will Set You Up for Success

Summer break doesn't have to mean putting your education on pause. In fact, at SIATech High Schools we think of our calendar as being year round. Our independent study campuses will close for a couple of weeks between mid-June but we resume the week of July 7, 2025, so you can keep making progress towards your diploma.

Summer is the perfect time to accelerate your learning, strengthen your foundation, and set yourself up for an amazing upcoming school year. Our summer sessions offer you something special – the chance to learn at your own pace while getting the personalized support that makes all the difference.

Keep Your Momentum Going

Think about it: after working hard all year to build your knowledge and skills, why let three months of summer break slow you down? Summer sessions help you maintain that academic momentum you've built. Whether you want to get ahead in a challenging subject, strengthen areas where you need extra support, or finish faster in courses, summer learning keeps your brain engaged and growing. Many students find they actually learn better during summer sessions because they have more time to focus, process, and practice what they're learning.

Your Mentor Teachers Are Here for You

One of the biggest advantages of our summer sessions is the incredible support you'll receive from your mentor teachers. These aren't just any teachers – they're educators who are specifically invested in your success and understand your unique learning style and goals. Your mentor teacher will work closely with you to identify exactly what you need to succeed.

In summer sessions, your mentor teacher has more time to work with you individually, answer your questions thoroughly, and provide the kind of detailed feedback that really helps you grow as a learner.

Set Yourself Up for Success

Students who participate in summer sessions often find that they feel more confident and prepared when the new school year begins. You'll start in the fall already familiar with key concepts and ready to complete those courses. This confidence boost can make a huge difference in your overall academic performance.

Summer sessions also give you the opportunity to develop better study habits and learning strategies in a lower-pressure environment. You can experiment with different approaches to learning, discover what works best for you, and build routines that will serve you well throughout high school and beyond.

It's Not Just About Academics

While academic progress is certainly a major benefit, summer sessions offer so much more. You'll have the chance to build stronger relationships with your teachers, connect with other motivated students, and develop the kind of resilience and work ethic that will serve you throughout your life. There are also supplemental art and field trips offered during summer, so this is a time at SIATech you don’t want to miss.

Make This Summer Different

Don't let this summer be three months of sleeping in and scrolling through social media. Make it a summer of growth, discovery, and progress. Your future self will thank you for the investment you make in your education right now.

Summer sessions are more than just extra school at SIATech high schools. They're your opportunity to take control of your learning, get the support you need, and build the foundation to get you closer to graduation. Your mentor teachers are ready to help you succeed!
