SUMMER AT PARKER
Track Offerings
Every student is unique. Summer at Parker provides a plethora of course options to engage, inspire, and enrich every student’s learning experience within three tracks (right).
Each track is three weeks in length; students may choose a different track for each session (Session I, Session II, and Session III). This allows students to experience a variety of summer courses while also remaining with the same group of students during a given session.
PASSPORT TRACK
In this track, students “travel” through different disciplines providing a well-rounded summer experience, including: Educational Skill Building ~ Visual, Culinary, and Performing Arts ~ Science, Math, and Beyond ~ World Language ~ Sports and Movement
SERIES TRACK
Interested in exploring further into a specific discipline? This series allows students to engage in courses within the same field of study.
INSTITUTE TRACK
This series provides students an immersive experience or one that supports their academic journey with time to deepen their understanding and application of the concepts presented.

“Our child has loved every offering he has done at Summer at Parker. And now he wants to try so many of the other courses too. We are letting him try different offerings in order to expand and explore various learning opportunities. The program offers such a great variety and the instructors have been great!”
