Summer School
Summer fun means earning academic credit amidst the beauty of Lake Tahoe. We invite summer school students to attend a three-week (semester) session or six week (full-year) session, experience intensive 2 two-hour classes, and have fun with outdoor mountain sports, soccer, and other excursions each afternoon. LTP offers first-semester courses during Session One and second-semester courses during Session Two. Enrollment is open to all qualified high school students. Students who attend both sessions are eligible to earn full-year credits.
Average summer class sizes are less than eight students, leading to personalized, intensive instruction. Teacher-led evening study halls enhance and support daily instruction. Afternoon adventures around Lake Tahoe balance the day, and weekend trips and activities ensure a summer to remember.
