The Summer of Learning is Los Angeles Unified’s summer school program. The summer school program comprises eight different programs designed to meet the summer learning needs of all our students. The eight programs are Summer Universal Transitional Kindergarten through Eighth Grade (UTK-8), Virtual Summer Universal Transitional Kindergarten through Eighth Grade (UTK-8), Summer Term Ninth through twelfth Grade (Summer Term 9-12), Extended School Year (ESY), International Newcomer, Migrant Education, and Virtual Enrichment. 

All current Los Angeles Unified students and families can visit this website for additional details on how to register for summer programs. We will continue to enroll students up to the beginning of our programs, but we encourage families to register as soon as possible.

As long as program times do not overlap, students can participate in more than one program. For example, a student may attend the UTK-8 program in the morning and a virtual enrichment course during the afternoon. 

Due to the high demand for virtual enrichment, a student can only enroll in one virtual enrichment course.

Parents will be notified at the email address they used when submitting the application as soon as classes are assigned or the child’s registration is confirmed.
