Saint Joseph High School summer session is open to any student who is presently enrolled in a high school or who will enter high school in September. Students from St. John Bosco and other Catholic or local high schools may enroll in the summer program.

Some review courses provide students with the opportunity to repeat a course and improve a poor grade received during the school year. Please note that the grade received by a student who is repeating a course with a summer review course is added to the student’s transcript to evidence the student’s attempt to improve performance in that course; the grade does not, however, replace the original grade received. Other review courses are designed to meet the needs of incoming freshmen who are accepted based on various academic prerequisites. The Proficiency of Writing (P.O.W.) course is offered to currently enrolled students who have not passed the P.O.W. requirement; it is mandatory for incoming seniors, but open to grade levels 10-12. The Christian Service workshop is required for students who failed to complete a semester project during the school year; it is also open to those who wish to complete projects in advance for the coming school year.

Enrichment courses in Fine Arts, Business and Computer Science, Health and Physical Education, Social Science, and Science are also offered—for credit replacing courses normally taken during the regular school year and/or to fulfill UC requirements. In addition, elective courses in Athletics and Driver’s Education are offered.

Courses taken to qualify for another level course must be passed with an overall minimum grade of C. In accordance with state policies regarding attendance hours required for credits, accrual of more than three absences (only two absences for Art courses) or five tardies will result in a NO CREDIT/WITHDRAWAL/NO REFUND.

All summer school faculty and staff are fully qualified to teach their particular courses. Their primary educational focus is based on the Saint Joseph High School philosophy that every student is unique and is entitled to a Catholic, quality, holistic education.
