After providing a comprehensive summer school program for 9-12 students since 2011, LCFEF Summer School was asked to provide course offerings to rising 7th and 8th grade students in 2021. This year’s offerings are different than last summer. Students can take a full year of Spanish 1A OR one semester of two enrichment courses.
Our mission is to provide high quality, rigorous course offerings to allow students to improve their academic standing and enhance their academic program. The LCFEF Summer School provides middle school students the opportunity to work ahead by taking Spanish 1A for credit. Alternately, we provide students with the opportunity to strengthen their skills in a particular area or to simply take some courses that enhance their organizational skills and creativity.
Non LCUSD students are welcome; we do require approval of any credit course by the home district prior to the start of summer school with the submission of a credit verification form.
All students have the option of taking credit courses and not reporting the grade. The course then counts as exposure to material rather than obtaining credit for advancement purposes.
Admission to summer school is by application, and enrollment is on a first-come, first-served basis. Placement in classes with multiple sections is assigned on a random basis.
All 2022 Summer School will be held in person on the campus of La Canada High School, 4463 Oak Grove, La Canada, CA 91011.
All course descriptions are detailed below.

Students with more than one absence will be handled on a case-by-case basis. Students with excessive absences may be dropped from the class. There are no grades for enrichment courses, but teachers will communicate weekly with parents indicating student progress.
