Get Ready for the School Year!
Do you want to get a boost in writing or math for the next school year?
Do you need to recover some lost learning in writing or math from the prior school year not going as planned?
Do you want to build your study skills for the upcoming school year?
TPS has a full range of summer writing and math classes for preparation, boost or recovery. We also have study skills classes to prepare you for middle school, high school, and college.
In response to numerous requests from TPS families, TPS Summer courses are now relaxed to make them more accessible and beneficial in a busy summer schedule. Plan to attend live for maximum benefit, but miss class(es) if you need to without having to notify anyone. Submit assignments on time if you want evaluation and feedback, or skip an assignment when you need to without having to notify or explain. TPS Summer classes may also be taken entirely in Audit status.
The TPS Summer term runs for six weeks, with a break week during the week of July 4 (total of seven weeks start to finish). Our Academic Calendar provides details. Summer classes typically meet twice each week for two hours per meeting, usually on Monday+Wednesday or Tuesday+Thursday. Schedule details for each course are shown in the Course Catalog (select the “Summer” category).
