Summer schools in primary schools and junior high schools are usually non-academic and non-advanced, and belong to remedial education. The main purpose is to make up lessons and supplement various basic skills, generally reading, writing and mathematics. You know, K (pre-school) in many places will test students' reading level at the beginning. In the third grade, there will be more formal tests. If your grades are not up to standard, the teacher will advise you to attend relevant summer schools. This summer school is a cram school. There are different summer schools according to different situations. For example, if you can't keep up with English, go to ESL (foreigner English class) cram school. This kind of ESL teacher will send transcripts to the parents of ESL entry-level students. If you are already an ESL intermediate or advanced, you can only go to other summer schools, such as summer schools.
If it is a high school or a university, summer schools can choose courses with credits, which can affect your GPA or take courses without credits. If you choose to have credits, there are two situations: one is the credits that need to be retaken because you are absent from class or fail the exam; There is also an advanced credit, that is, if you want to graduate early and get a degree, you can use the summer vacation to complete some compulsory courses.
The significance of attending summer school
The significance of attending summer school is to help students expand their interests, discover their interests, know themselves, experience the university and improve their comprehensive ability. In addition, the experience of living and studying independently in summer school and getting along with college classmates and professors can pave the way for future college life.
The influence of American summer professors on applying for American universities
From the perspective of applying for a university, although you can get a recommendation letter from a professor and college credits from a dream school when you go to summer school, these have little influence on applying for a university. The enrollment of American universities mainly depends on the overall quality of students and the degree of matching with schools. They don't require students to have summer school experience. According to past experience, students admitted to prestigious schools may not have attended summer school, but what is certain is that their standardized scores are basically high.
