Summer School is a summer school, which is a summer course provided by American university officials for those who want to feel the American classroom culture in advance and enhance the international background of their application. It is different from the summer camp for junior middle schools and below just to feel American culture.
Generally speaking, there are two purposes: one is to give college students the opportunity to study and complete credits in advance during the holidays, and the other is to let high school students experience college life in advance and get some college credits in advance. Summer schools in America usually start from late June to the end of August. Every school has a different arrangement for the summer term, which is usually 3-8 weeks.
Summer schools are divided into two types, one is credit courses; One is a non-credit course, while the former is more popular with students. But again, the requirements of the two courses are completely different. Credit courses, because they can get 4-8 college credits, require students' TOEFL scores to be around 100, and at worst, 75 points or more.
Students can choose their favorite courses from hundreds of professional courses in universities. During the day, various extracurricular activities will be held in the afternoon after the course, and outdoor picnics and visits to famous schools and scenic spots nearby will be held on weekends.
