Holston Academy makes it easy to dig deeper into subjects that you love with courses you likely won’t find at a typical high school. And you can also earn some extra credits at the same time!
Why take online high school summer courses?
There’s always been a certain stigma attached to summer learning. Years ago, many considered summer school to be a form of detention, reserved only for students who were performing poorly.
This couldn’t be further from reality today! Summer classes offer students the opportunity to catch up on studies, get ahead on their credits, and take a deep dive into areas of interest. We’re talking about fun classes and opportunities to try or learn something new. Let’s get into some of the amazing online high school summer courses Holston Academy offers!
