Secondary Summer School - 2008

Summer School Program

Federal Way Public Schools is offering a summer program of classes in Language Arts, Math, Science and History.  Classes are designed so students can make up credits or improve their understanding of a special subject.  Middle level students will also focus upon reading, organization and study skills.

Each class consists of one hour and fifty-five minutes of instruction daily.  Teachers have been selected who know their subject and enjoy teaching in an alternative setting.  Students will find the summer school setting an ideal atmosphere in which to succeed.
