Can middle schoolers join the summer program?

The short answer is no. Mid-Peninsula’s summer program is designed for rising 9th through 12th graders only. The courses are built around high school-level material, and the pace is geared toward students who are already in or about to start high school. While middle schoolers might be curious, the content is probably a bit too advanced at this stage. The good news is that once students finish 8th grade, they’re eligible to jump in the following summer. Until then, there are plenty of other great programs out there for middle schoolers who want to keep learning, creating, and exploring over the break.
