Framingham To Offer Remote Summer School Classes

FRAMINGHAM, MA — Like the regular school year, summer school in Framingham is going to look a little different due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Framingham Public Schools will kick off the Summer Institute on July 6, and all the courses will be taught remotely. The classes are for students who need to make up credits, and for students who want to earn additional credits over the summer.

Here's more from a Framingham Public Schools press release:

We are excited to announce that the Summer Institute will be running remotely this year! Registration can be found on the Framingham Public Schools website. The dates are July 6 to July 31, and there will be both morning (8 a.m. to 10:30 or 11 a.m., depending on the class) and afternoon sessions (10:35 a.m. to 1:05 p.m. or 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.), depending on the class.

Original Credit

Original Credit classes are condensed versions of electives that are traditionally offered during the school year. Original Credit classes, offered by FHS Summer Institute, meet Monday through Friday for four weeks.
