The summer studies program offered at Linsly is an opportunity for students to enhance knowledge and skills in the core content areas.  Motivated students who are academically competitive will benefit from using this time for enrichment.  Honors courses will be delivered through hybrid instruction which means they'll meet once a week and include an online component.  Courses are also avaiable in a one week intensive workshop format.  These classes will meet from 9am-12noon for five consecutive days.

Register now to reserve a spot! There is a minimum enrollment requirement for each class listed in the course guide.
