The eight programs are California State Pre-School Program (CSPP), Summer Expanded Transitional Kindergarten through Eighth Grade (ETK-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.

Yes. Several Summer of Learning Programs require students to meet specific eligibility requirements in order to participate. To learn more about specific program requirements, go to this website and select the program or programs you are interested in to learn more.

Yes, the opportunity to participate in summer school will be available for all students who apply. However, if a course reaches capacity, families will be notified and another course must be selected.
