Westport Continuing Education works closely with the teachers and administration to offer credit courses over the summer to regional high school students at Staples High School. Each 1-credit class offers the same material as a full-year class, condensed into a 6-week program. Students also get the benefit of smaller class sizes and gain additional skills and experience for help with a college or career choice in the future. Summer courses allow students to satisfy credit requirements in order to free up their schedule during the school year for other courses. Enrollment in follow-up courses at Staples during the school year is contingent upon; successful completion of the summer school course, teacher recommendation, AND seat availability in the desired course, which is not guaranteed. Please view the Program of Studies for course info.
