Can students earn academic credit during summer school?

Yes, and that’s one of the best parts. At Southwestern Academy, summer school isn’t just a placeholder for students stuck in the classroom while everyone else is at the beach. It’s a real opportunity to earn partial or full academic credit, especially in English 1. That means students walk away with more than just a good experience—they walk away with progress. It’s ideal for anyone who needs to recover credits or simply wants to stay ahead of the game. The courses are thoughtfully designed, the credits are legitimate, and the timeline is totally doable. Think of it as summer with a purpose, where every class actually counts toward something bigger.
