Summer Enrichment Opportunities
Colleges and universities offer short-term online and on-campus programs that provide a taste of what life would be like at their institution. Some offer a mixture of academic and social content, courses taught by tenured professors, and even an opportunity to earn credit. These programs provide a fantastic way to discover college life and an enriching summer experience.
Students and parents interested in learning more about summer enrichment opportunities can contact the College Counselor, Ms. Ellen Johnston, at ellen.johnston@isdbd.org.
