Enrollees participate in the design of each course by choosing from a variety of learning experiences. Students are encouraged to take no more than two academic classes per summer as each class requires approximately 10 hours of work per week for completion by the start of school in September. The summer program begins immediately after the regular school year ends and runs for six weeks, ending prior to August 1st. Applications are available in the counseling offices at Islander Middle School, Mercer Island High School, and Crest. Applications are accepted at Crest beginning May 1st.
Priority is given to in-district graduating seniors.
