Summer at Marymount

Marymount Summer School 2025

Marymount's 2025 Summer School will take place mostly on campus, with one Zoom option for Intro to Computer Science.

There are multiple programs to choose from for Marymount's 2025 Summer School. Programs vary in schedule, length, and credit so pay close attention to each course description to understand the expectations and schedules for each class.

Enrichment courses are intended to help prepare students for their time at Marymount with writing, algebraic knowledge, or executive functioning skills. These courses do not appear on your Marymount transcript. Although students should plan to attend as many class sessions as they can, they will still be able to pass the course with absences.

Credit-bearing courses allow students to fulfill Marymount's academic requirements and may allow students to advance in certain academic paths, specifically math. Credit-bearing courses will appear on a student's Marymount transcript, and because the courses are accelerated and condensed there is a very strict attendance policy. Students who hopes to pass and receive credit for a credit-bearing course at Marymount should not have any absences.

Credit-bearing courses are only open to currently enrolled Marymount students. Rising 9th grade students are not eligible to enroll. These classes include Physical Education, Geometry, and Introduction to Computer Science.

Freshman 101: Athletes (July 7 - 11)

The transition into high school is challenging for all students, but it can be particularly daunting for student athletes who are not only adjusting to a new schedule with rigorous expectations, but who will also have time constraints due to their commitment to their athletic program. We want to see all of our athletes thrive at Marymount in their first year here, so join us for this class where you can learn more about how to be an effective student and a committed and strong athlete. This is particularly valuable for those students who plan to participate in a fall sport (cross country, golf, tennis, or volleyball), but will be insightful for athletes of any and all seasons.

Please note that if you enroll in this course, you are not able to also complete the From Good to Great writing course because the timing will conflict. Students who are interested in this course who are also enrolling in the writing course should instead register for Freshman 101 which will take place from June 23 to July 3.

Attendance Policy

Attendance Policy
Attendance at Marymount Summer School is very important. We understand that your summer may be full of other priorities and obligations, but you should make every effort to attend class.

If you are enrolling in a credit-bearing course (Geometry, Computer Science, or Physical Education) you should not plan on any absences. Because summer courses condense a semester or year long curriculum, each class missed represents a large portion of material.

If you are enrolling in an enrichment course, because the course is non credit-bearing absences may be acceptable, however you will need to communicate your absences with your teacher.

Withdrawal Policy & Class Cancellation

Withdrawal Policy & Class Cancellation
A student who withdraws from a class prior to Friday, May 30 will receive a refund, minus a $50 processing fee. After May 30, you will receive a refund minus a $150 processing fee. Once classes commence, tuition is forfeited.

Please note that if a class does not enroll a sufficient number of students, the class will be cancelled. We will notify you when this decision has been made, after enrollment has been closed. At that time you may either choose to join another class or receive a full refund.
