Summer School Academy Summer School provides a unique opportunity for enrolled Punahou students to fulfill graduation requirements in a focused and immersive learning environment. By enrolling in only one or two courses at a time, students are able to take a deep dive into a course and participate at a level that is not always possible during the school year. Rather than fulfilling a remedial requirement, Academy Summer School opens up possibilities for students to broaden their course selection during the school year. Summer School courses taken in 2022 are entered as part of the student’s 2022 – 2023 first semester record. Students register based on the grade they are entering in the fall. Summer School registration for credit courses is completed during each student’s individual programming conference with their Deans in February. Summer School courses may be overenrolled, and due to limited space, students are not guaranteed their first choice in course selection. In such cases, priority is given to 12th grade, then 11th grade and so on. All things being equal, a lottery may be held to determine which students are placed in a particular course. All course offerings are subject to sufficient enrollment. Students are notified of any new course offerings, deletions or prerequisite changes via their Class Deans. Tuition and fees for Summer School are charged to the student’s account. Punahou Summer courses are offered in three different formats: on campus (fully in-person), blended (on campus with additional coursework completed off campus), and online asynchronous. Please check course listings for estimated hours to complete daily coursework. See below for Summer School Absence Policy. All in-person components of courses follow the Summer Absence Policy listed below. Please note that Summer School courses are scheduled for varying lengths from three to six weeks. There is a selection of Global Online Academy (GOA) online courses available to upperclassmen. See page 74 for summer GOA offerings. New Course Formats • On campus Courses On campus courses meet in person for the indicated hours. The Summer Absence Policy apply to all on campus meetings. There will not be an option to WebEx into class from home during an absence. The nature of the instruction in these interactive courses does not allow for meaningful participation via WebEx during on campus class time. • Blended Courses Blended courses meet both on campus for the indicated days and hours, and students engage in coursework asynchronously. Estimated hours for daily coursework engagement for each course is given for planning purposes. The Summer Absence Policy will be enforced for all on campus meetings.

• Online Asynchronous Courses Online Asynchronous courses list estimated hours of course engagement per week. While this format offers independence as to when students engage with course material, students follow a pacing guide and must meet the parameters of the course’s weekly benchmarks. Instructors schedule a synchronous online kick off meeting during the first two days of summer school (time TBD). The Summer Absence Policy will be enforced for all synchronous or teacher announced online meetings. Consistent and reliable Wi-Fi is essential in order to engage in course materials.
