Summer Education (In-Person or Online) Programs

When enrolling your student in a 2026 Summer Education (In-Person or Online) Program provided by the School, you agree and are aware that a final determination of class placement will be made by the School and that curriculum changes/decisions are made at the School’s discretion.

The School does not make any representation regarding whether credits from the summer education program will be accepted by the student's educational institution. You understand that once a student is enrolled and the cancellation date (as set forth in the Refund Policy below) has passed, there will be absolutely no refund or reduction of tuition for any circumstance, including not limited to, voluntary or involuntary absence, change of residence, health, withdrawal or expulsion. You understand that even if a new student(s) is/are accepted at the School after student’s withdrawal or separation, any such student(s) will not be considered a “replacement student.”

For American Heritage Students, Grades 9 - 12:

You  understand that grade forgiveness will be allowed for up to four (4) semesters (2 credits) during high school (grades 9-12). Students may repeat a course taken in grades 9-12 for forgiveness if a grade of “D” or “F” is earned in a course. A course is forgiven only if the student receives a grade of “C” or higher on a subsequent attempt. A required course may be forgiven by the same or a comparable course taken subsequently. A lower level of the same course is considered comparable because the benchmarks and/or course objectives are similar. In all cases where courses are forgiven under the provisions above, the initial “D” or “F” grade(s) will remain as part of the academic history (on the student transcript).

The linked document is a list of courses offered during the summer and the rules of which can be taken for credit, forgiveness or audit. Please review it carefully, and please contact your Academic/College Advisor prior to registering for classes for recommendations and to make any necessary adjustments to your schedule for the fall. Summer Institute Guidelines.

For American Heritage Students, High School Credit in Junior High:

In the Junior High program, students may have the opportunity, in certain designated classes, to earn High School credit. Any Junior High student taking a High School class must earn a “B-” average each semester. Students who do not earn at least a “B-” for both semesters will be required to retake the course the following year. Students will not be permitted to retake the course in Summer School AND no overrides will be permitted the following year. If a student earns credit, the course and the grade will appear on the student’s high school transcript that is sent to colleges and is part of their permanent record but will not be computed into their high school GPA.

Summer Education Program Refund Policy
