The Hawaii State Department of Education will offer summer learning programs for all grade levels over the summer, from a kindergarten transition program for incoming students to paid internships for graduating seniors.

HIDOE encourages families to check with their child’s school for specific offerings and registration details.

“Our robust summer learning opportunities have been integral in accelerating and enriching student learning,” said Superintendent Keith Hayashi in a release. “We’re focused on building on the progress made over the past few years, and we encourage families to explore the many options available to support their child’s learning and growth this summer.”

Highlights include:

Summer School

Keiki in grades K through 12 can take part in programs for enrichment, remediation, credit advancement or credit recovery. Schools may also offer targeted support based on specific student needs.

High school students in grades 9 through 12 can register for online summer courses through Hawaii Online Courses, formerly known as E-School.

HIDOE is also bringing back the Summer Start Kindergarten Transition Program hosted at students’ home schools to provide incoming kindergarteners — especially those with limited or no preschool experience — the opportunity to build confidence and independence through early exposure to classroom routines.

Specialized Student Support

Students requiring specialized student support can take part in extended learning opportunities such as Extended School Year, English Learner Extended Learning Opportunities, Special Support Programs for students with disabilities, and Alternative Learning Program Support and Services.

Accelerated Learning

The Early College program will allow eligible high school students to earn college credits while meeting high school diploma requirements through dual-credit courses offered in partnerships with the University of Hawaii system.

College, Career and Community Learning

These include paid summer internships through HIDOE or school partnerships, plus transition and “on-ramp” programs to help students prepare for college and careers after graduation.
