3-Month Summer

Get out of school early and enjoy a few extra weeks of summer fun and sun! With school done for the year in early June, staff and students can get a jump on summer activities and have more time to spend with friends and family. 

Avoid the summer rush and travel early to see family or go on a much deserved vacation. Use the extended time to pursue your passions and write that novel, grow your own sustainable vegetable garden, or hike that new trail. Long summer days, almost 20 hours in June, mean more time to play and unwind before the September startup.
