General Information
-
District 214’s Summer Experience! is an all-encompassing program that includes academic coursework, primarily for Credit Recovery, with a few courses that students can take to Get Ahead on graduation requirements or prepare themselves for success in Honors and/or Advanced Placement (AP) coursework.
By Invitation programs address the specific needs of unique student groups and are also hosted during the summer.
Other non-academic programs offered within Summer Experience! are Driver Education, Enrichment and Career Pathways experiences and the many Athletic Program opportunities available at each of District 214’s high schools.
All in-person summer academic programming will be hosted at John Hersey High School with the exception of the Extended School Year program which will be hosted at The Academy at Forest View.
While most Enrichment and Career Pathway experiences will be hosted at John Hersey High School, a few courses are hosted at other District 214 high schools. The specific location of each course can be found in the Individual Course/Experience Descriptions section.
