Join us in a four-week summer adventure to enhance your English skills! Regular activities will revolve around the reading of a self-selected novel from a list of authors with various cultural backgrounds. Students will build basic literacy and vocabulary skills. The instruction is culturally relevant and embraces the technology rich world in which we live.
Please note that this course is an abbreviated course. Therefore, the course does not cover a full curriculum with the same depth that is covered in a semester-long course. Students are expected to work approximately 8-10 hours per week. In addition, if the student is taking this course for credit recovery or initial credit, it is strongly advised that you check with the student's school to confirm that the topics covered (see course syllabus) match those required by the school. You may also want to confirm with the school the process for receiving credits, which may involve an assessment administered separately by the school.
Students will need to obtain a copy of one of the texts listed at the bottom of the course syllabus. These texts are available at many school or local libraries or for purchase online for a small fee.
*Students who plan to transfer credit from VHS Learning to their full-time high school should check with their school to confirm they will accept the credits before registering for a VHS Learning summer course.
