Summer Academy courses are in person classes that are being offered at SMN this summer. Summer Academy courses, with the exceptions of PE, Art, and Health, are for credit recovery only. Transportation and cost are the responsibility of the student/family.  These courses may use Edgenuity, an online credit recovery program, but the expectation is that students do this work under the supervision and assistance of a teacher and in person.  $170 per course
