The July Acceleration Academy will provide students with the opportunity to be part of a learning community over the summer! Our team will build opportunities to challenge students, but also to engage them in fun and authentic learning opportunities that tie in their own interests and real world experiences. Students will take two courses each day (a morning session and an afternoon session) and will have opportunities for cross- curricular learning experiences. Students will be able to advance skills they will use during the following school year, but will also leave understanding how their learning connects to life outside the classroom.

July's Acceleration Academy will take place at CHS. Students will attend 9:30 am -2:00 pm throughout the month of July according to the schedule below: 

• Week 1 - Wednesday July 5th - Friday July 7th (3-day week)

Program Description

The High School School Credit Recovery Program provides students with the opportunity to recover credits they did not earn during the school year. They are able to make up courses they did not pass by taking the course in the online platform Edgenuity while attending in-person sessions and receiving feedback, support, motivation and accommodations from teachers. Courses in Edgenuity are customized to conform to the scope and sequence and standards in the high school’s units while accommodating for 4 weeks/32 hours of seat time per session. Two time blocks allow students to make-up up to two courses, with seniors being allowed to make-up additional courses if they are able.

Students will also have the option of live in person credit recovery courses in key subject areas (pending staffing). 

Lunch and breakfast will be provided, along with scheduled activity breaks. The goal of this program is to prevent students from falling behind in their coursework and maintain their timeline for graduation on time and with their class.

Program Description

The Transition Summer Program is a uniquely designed opportunity for rising freshmen to have an engaging academic space that shifts their thinking on school and learning while simultaneously preparing them for the transition to the new expectations of high school.  

This program looks to prepare students with the tools to make the positive decisions that are essential for high school readiness and success. It is able to do this through relationship building, curriculum geared toward the learners, introductions to high school personnel and field work (where students actively engaged with community stakeholders to build relationships that were mutually beneficial and establish a supportive partnership between the school community and the city of Chelsea). 

Ultimately, students will be able to leave the program more acclimated to high school and with an elective credit toward their high school journey.
