High School Summer Learning

Summer Learning Classes
will be June 2 – June 30, 2025

Registration is open
March 3 - May 23, 2025

High School Summer Learning is an opportunity for high school students to accelerate or recover credits during the time between school years. The summer session is a condensed version of content provided during the school year, and students must have their course requests validated by their counselor before being enrolled.

Fulton County Schools offers three summer learning opportunities for high school students who need to retake a previously failed course:

  1. Face-to-Face Summer School
  2. Fulton Virtual Learning Program
  3. Fulton County Credit Recovery

Students may also accelerate their learning during the summer by taking a course for the first time through the Fulton Virtual. Tuition is required to take a course for the first time during the summer.

As you consider your options, please keep in mind that one course is the equivalent of a semester-long class for a 0.5 credit. Students are limited to taking

  • 2 courses in a Face-to-Face setting
  • 2 courses in Fulton Virtual
  • 1 High School Summer Credit Recovery course at a time. Once a 0.5 credit is earned, a student may take another course through High School Summer Credit Recovery.

Depending on student need, a student may be simultaneously enrolled in more than one summer learning option.

Follow this link to find which High School Summer Learning option is best for you.
