Garces Memorial High School offers a summer session for students entering grades five through twelve in the academic year 2011/2012. In its 20th year of operation, the summer curriculum is a combination of academic, athletic and enrichment classes, which are offered, in a relaxed atmosphere. Most classes are individualized to meet the needs of students from different educational backgrounds. This year we have completely revamped our summer school program. Some of the new courses we offer are: water polo, diving, swimming, swim lessons, variety of Pre-AP classes and several fun enrichment classes for the younger student. Please read through the catalog to see all course offerings.

ENROLLMENT: Some classes have a limited enrollment. Students cannot be officially enrolled until tuition fees are paid. We reserve the right to cancel courses with less than 12 applicants. Efforts will be made to accommodate the choice of periods with respect to the classes that have been selected for each student. We do not guarantee that this will be possible in all cases. We will add additional courses, as needed, but due to limited classroom space, these classes will most likely be added to third or fourth periods. The only summer school grades posted on the Garces transcript will be 5 and 10 unit classes.

TUITION: All tuition prices are quoted at the end of the description of each course. Tuition must be paid in full at the time of registration.
