Should my teen take summer classes if they’ve been struggling academically?

Yes, summer classes are a great way for teens who’ve struggled academically to get back on track. With the chance to focus on specific subjects that were difficult during the school year, students can use the slower pace of summer classes to build foundational skills. Unlike during the regular school year, there’s less pressure from grades, and teens can revisit challenging material with guidance, which helps boost confidence. Summer classes provide a supportive environment where your teen can ask questions, review key concepts, and reinforce their learning. This additional attention and a fresh perspective on tricky subjects can make a huge difference, preparing them for the upcoming year with a stronger grasp of the material.
